Derek and I have been looking for a Boston Terrier puppy to bring home. We've wanted a Boston for a few years now and are excited to have a dog around. They are so cute. I am going to name him Louis. All week we had our eye on this really really cute puppy in Ohio. He was rescued from an Amish puppy mill - Amish people are weird. We filled out our application and before we got 'final approval' the people that adopted his brother decided they wanted both puppies - selfish. The rescue place tries to keep the puppies together so they got first priority. I was a little sad but at least they found a good home. Then Derek found a listing in the local paper for Boston puppies and we called the guy. He had three little boys left; they were 8 weeks old. We had to go to the Towson Mall to Men's Warehouse so Derek could try on a suit he has to wear in a wedding this summer, so the guy said he would meet us at the mall and bring the puppies for us to see. When we got to the mall, right before we were about to meet the guy, I started to get really nervous and anxious and I started to second guess whether we should get a puppy. So, we go out in the parking lot to meet the dude (it was so awkward, it felt like we were part of a shady deal going down), it was pouring rain and cold and windy, and the guy opens the back of his SUV and shoves a teeny tiny puppy in my hand. I was trying not to drop him since he was squirming and shivering and I was trying to hold my umbrella and not get wet. I was so freaked out I couldn't talk. The puppy was so tiny and he was shivering and I just wanted to give him back. He was so little and he had one blue eye and one brown eye. I couldn't think. All I said was 'I wish it wasn't raining' and I asked him to take the dog back and I walked back into the mall. It was the freakiest thing ever. Apparently Derek was having a conversation with the guy while all this was happening but I don't remember any of it. Back in the mall, Derek laughed at me and we decided that today was not a good day to get a puppy.
We decided that we'd try again in 6 months...
