Update:

I received news this morning the Puppy is coming in Monday. I just told Michael and the first word out of his mouth was "YaaHoo", LOL....He's excited and we had quiet the discussion last night regarding names...I've been throwing names at Michael to see what he likes and he seems to be stuck on one name...But we shall see once we get to know the pup. Denise has been calling him Sam...

I called and he has a vet appt. Tuesday to get an identification micro-chip put in and some heartworm meds too. Collies can be sensitive to certain drugs so we have to be very careful what we can give him. Everyone at the vets office is excited to meet the new puppy! They all agree we made the right choice on a Collie.

I was laughing as they had dealt with Ebony for 4.5 yrs and I knew they were all a bit leary when she came in for her appts...and they were also worried regarding what could happen if Ebony had decided to take her aggression out on Michael. So they are all relieved and very enthusiastic regarding my decisions in the past couple of months.

Tomorrow we have a costume contest at the library. I know Michael will enjoy himself and maybe, just maybe he'll place with his dragon costume. It is hard to believe that Halloween is almost here and before too long Christmas! Ekkkk....

I love having Michael as he is starting to understand and his exuberance shows when it comes to Holidays. It rubs off of him on to me! I always thought I would have problems getting involved with Michael and the Holidays but can see it is not going to be a problem...I love seeing that sparkle and excitement in Michael's eyes, it makes my life worth while.
