Hi all. That's a pretty big update, I think.

Finally, after years of trying to finally have my own pet, my family caves. A month before I leave for school.

But we picked her out yesterday. She's a Golden Retriever, named Skye.

If anyone here has ever picked out a puppy before, you may know the story that you don't pick the puppy, the puppy picks you. Well, little Skye did just that...'cause when I picked her up, she immediately gave my wrist a very thorough tongue bath, and then cuddled up against my shirt and started wagging her tail.

Even at two weeks old, she knows where she belongs.

Now, since I leave for college before we take her home, the breeder agreed to let me come over whenever I wanted to and play with her and her eight other litter mates. Which is AWESOME. 'Cause now I get to play with 9 little fuzz balls instead of one before I leave! :)

I'm so incredibly ecstatic to FINALLY have my puppy. Really. It's like a dream come true. <3
