This is a bit of a long story, so strap in.

Many of you should remember the ferret thread I made. However, due to bunches of things, my family and I decided that a ferret just wouldn't work out for our family. So we decided that I would get a dog sometime in early August. Keep in mind that we decided this in mid-June. We would have gotten a dog sooner, but we were going to go on vacation and didn't want to leave it home alone so soon after getting it. Well, as luck has it, we were going to Destin later in the month for our vacation- which was just smashed by Hurricane Dennis. We couldn't reach the hotel we were going to stay at, so we decided we'd try to go to Myrtle Beach because we have some family nearby there. I was against it, because I was the only one that seemed to realize that if we skipped everything this summer, we could go someplace much nicer in December. My family wanted something this summer, and so the dog was to be gotten in August 1st, as originally planned.

Well... last night, we talked it over. And we (meaning my sister, father, and mother; not me ) agreed that if Destin couldn't take us, we'd go to Myrtle Beach- no theories or questions involved, it was definite. And they were pretty firm in that. And now I come out into the living room, to hear my mother and my father agreeing on the fact that we're not going anywhere this summer.

So now I'm sitting here, completely shocked because... *drumroll*:

If all goes as it appears to be... I'm getting my dog on Monday. Don't worry, you will definitely be getting pictures. And this may seem like a pretty random post, but I've seen stuff like this in the past, so I don't think it counts as spam or anything. Just wanted to share in my OHMYGODYAY glory.

Congrats Dawnie. Do you know what kind yet?

Dennis didn't kick SC's butt too hard. But poor Cobb Country, Georgia is still underwater.

It depends on the dogs there when we look. We went last Friday just to look for fun, and we saw three we were interested in- one was a beagle/german shepherd mix, one was a black lab/terrier mix, and one was a corgi/rottweiler mix.

We can't quite remember the beagle mix's name, but we think it was Naomi. The black lab was named Cinderella, and the corgi was named Daisy. However, in this paticular shelter, names of dogs can be changed without confusion because none of the dogs at this shelter are ever there for more than 1-2 weeks. Due to reasons I don't want to say because they might upset people.

._.

I thought you were having a baby, then I realized who made the thread. 0.0

So did I.

Anyway, Dawn, that's awesome! Why didn't you tell me? Oh yeah, because I would squee insanely over you...

The Beagle/German Shepard mix, Naomi (right? o.O) sounds absolutely adorable! I love both of those breeds. I wonder what the breed would be called. Beapard? Sheagle? Gergle? Beaman? German Beagle? Beagle Shepard?

I didn't tell you because I didn't know until a few minutes before I made the thread. =P

Aww, I love dogs. Now the hard part, choosing a name

Oh, I know! At first I was thinking, "Oh, I'll name it Jennifer after Zega (sorta, her name is Jenna)" and then I started thinking, "Oh, but maybe I want something from Buffy..."

I have an archive of 71 name ideas. I'll think of something. =P

Awesome! *huzzah for Beagle Shepherd!*

Personally, I was rather fond of Sheagle... =P

*craves pictures*

WE NEED BILLION OF PICTURES NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

LOL, thats great Dawn. While I was reading this, and I got to the part about how your suddenly not going anywhere this summer I thought for a second that you were going to say you're mom is having a baby.

We got her two days early, and she is fabulous. Her name is Chella, and she is a beagle/lab mix. You can't see the lab at all though- she just looks exactly like an overgrown beagle (and trust me when I say overgrown- I had to carry her when she crawled under the gate, and she's a good 50 pounds =P).

Pictures!



Chella drinking water (this one mostly shows her size, not her face).

Chella smiiiiiling.

She's lovely.

Lovely, yes. But also a pain in the rear end. =P
