So we got the dog and the apartment.
Apartment: Move in day is today but I am at work and J is puppy sitting. That means we won’t have all our stuff in the new apt till Sunday. I don’t really mind.
Things bought for camp out in apt:Full size air mattress
Things we need for real life in apartment: List will be coming shortly. I will probably discuss them , mostly with myself in detail.
Puppy: Layla Blue, Australian Cattle dog mixed with who knows what. Total babe ! Total Bitch. She is really sweet, unless its early morning and ready to tear and bite and be obnoxious in general. She loves her monkey and her crate ( we got lucky).
We got Layla through www.petfinder.org and http://www.animalprotectionsociety.org(local).
If anybody is looking for a dog, I would highly recommend these sites.
Pet toy I am absolutely in love with -The Kong

Relationship: J and I only talk to each other about dogs and apartment. I am a little bothered, but I guess this is what is called an adult relationship. I can’t wait till we have dealt with immediate need and move on to discussing other stuff. Also, all this stress is making us snappy so I really hope we get through this phase soon.
