I’m sitting on my bed brainstorming post ideas and my only idea was to write about my puppy, Demi. Yes, I know what your thinking "Zoe! That’s the only thing you could think of?” Yup, it is, but who doesn’t want to see pictures of someone's unbelievably cute puppy? I definitely do!
I know I’m saying she’s mine but in reality, she is the family dog. We had tried to get a puppy for Dad, but that door was quickly shut. He wanted a Brittany for hunting, so he contacted a breeder in Saskatchewan and got on the waiting list. A few days before the puppy's due date, mom said that if we weren't meant to have a dog the mother would only have one pup. A few days later we got a message from the breeder telling us that the mother had had only one puppy! Clearly a sign.
When my Oma told us that a friend of hers in Lethbridge bred dogs, we told her to quickly email him and ask what type of puppies he had and if any were available for sale. He said he did, picked one out for us, and sent us a photo. SHE WAS ADORABLE! A few weeks later we drove to Red Deer to pick up the puppy. Our breeder had a truck driver friend who delivered pups to Red Deer for customers who lived in northern Alberta. We met on a highway turnout and he pulled up in a semi-truck filled with pigs! He came out carrying the sweetest little puppy we had ever seen. We got her in our arms (smelling like a pig), hopped back into the car, and drove the 1.5 hours home. She has only been with us for 9 months and I can't imagine life without her.
Happy Friday!
