The dog I want...

So I have been waiting and wanting a dog for like 12 years now. I wouldn't get one before because I was a renter and I didn't want to risk having to get rid of a dog and the such...

Pretty soon (like between 6-9 days) I will be a HOMEOWNER!!!!!!

I will then be in search of my dog. I have done extensive research and it is almost impossible to find a reputable breeder whose puppies haven't somehow originated from a puppy mill. The puppy mill industry is so big that almost all pet shops get them from puppy mills. They don't think they are but they are. What happens is people are "hired" to house the puppies in a staging situation where the breeders look like reputable breeders but really get their puppies from puppy mills.

If you don't know much about puppy mills, here's a great website:

Avoiding Puppy Mills

Anywhoo I am in a great search for the right breeder. One I can visit the premises, preferably someone a friend knows. I want to be able to visit the mother while she is pregnant, and of course visit the puppies after birth all the way up until the time I take my baby boy home.

I am in search of a Boxer. I have wanted a boxer since I was little. It didn't help that when I house-sat for my friend her boxer and I had a little love affair. ;-) Everytime he sees me he goes crazy and cuddles me.

So anyway, keep posted for my baby-boy dog updates.

Please keep me in prayer this week. Buying a house is soooo stressful!! I've got just one week and I'm praying everything goes well.

Thanks!!
