I want to be a Mommy

Seriously. I’ve looked at a few pictures and I think I have narrowed down the search of my future daughter. Here we go…
The Yorkie is my very first choice. Yorkies I mean just look at him! Isn’t he just amazing? They are a little bit hyper which I’m not sure I like – but I’ve heard that they have great personality and are very entertaining. They are also very good around little children so my little cousin will be able to play with him and not fear getting hurt or bit or whatever. I don’t know if they are yappy things. The most important attribute, though? Audrey Hepburn had a Yorkie. I mean … HELLO! Audrey Hepburn. Not sure if Julie Andrews had a yorkie – but Audrey is right up there next to her!

My 2nd choice is the Bichon. Bichon I babysat a dog a bit ago named Mikey – and Mikey was part poodle and part Bichon and looked exactly like these sweeties. They are very very loveable, too – a bit on the submissive side I’ve read. But I think I would still be very happy with one.

My 3rd choice? Maltese The Maltese. Oh my goodness! I am a sucker for silky hair – and these beauties are said to have a great coat and they shed little (if at all). I’ve read that they are people pleasers, too – are sweet and loyal and kind to strangers. This is important to me. I don’t want a fierce daughter or son.

My fourth choice – Havanese The Havanese, I hadn’t really ever heard of. I like the size (toy/minature) and the coat again is very nice. They seem sweet like my other choices, too.

So … there are the finalists. I had also looked at the minature pug and the chihuahua but I don’t know… My co-parent (my cousin) kinda wants a chihuahua but I have heard that they are too independent and can almost be bitchy and hard to train. Potty training is like a necessity for real. Most of the places I’ve looked at are a bit expensive, but the puppies are diaper trained (or peepee pad trained) and that was like … CRUCIAL to me and my family.

The expense is … crazy. CRAZY. So I’m going to put up a puppy fund. LOL! Seriously. I’m going to make a button ASAP. Is this as important as money for books and tuition? No. Is it more important than any of the gifts I have listed on my wishlist? Yup. So I think if everyone just chips in 25 bucks here and there – by December I should have a new member of my family. I’m thinking of names now. Lola seems to jump out at me for a girl. Willis seems suitable for a boy. :)

Anyways – I should probably do something else other than look at puppy pictures tonight.

Stay tuned on the continuation of CeCe’s Baby. :)

Bet I could send out shower invites when he/she arrives, huh?

OMG, do you know how much of a heart attack I had when I read the title to this entry?? I thought Kylie had figured out a way to get you pregnant (if any girl could on her own…she could, she can do anything). :)
My cousins used to have a Bichon Frise. His name was “Thunder” because that’s the sound that he made as he tried (slipping and sliding all the way) to run across the linoleum. Get a real dog Cece… :)

WOW. I can’t believe Hmmm just commented and didn’t mention my love of little white dogs! He knows all about my maltese obsession! Lol… Anyway, now it’s official, CeCe~we truly are twins. My number two choices for “doggy daughters” have been (for the last 7 years anyway) 1. Maltese 2. Havanese

Love, love, LOVE their furry little white butts totally and completely to death! I want two of them though….I’m going to name the boy CoCo and the girl Chanel. *Giggles* (I know you got that, right, CeCe?)

You HAVE to call me when you read this. I have some distressing news for you. Actually, I might just call you when I finish writing this.

xoxo, Kylie

After much deliberation between myself and the co-parent – we have decided to go with…the maltese. I’m pretty excited to start gathering information (and money!) for this new addition to my/our family. We still have a lot of thinking and planning to do – and don’t expect this newest addition coming into our lives until December. By that time one or both of us will be on winter break and will be able to denote a bit of time to the training of this little monster. There is a chance that in the meantime we may get a shitzu puppy (well she’s 1 years old – but puppy enough) from a family that doesn’t have time to raise her. If this happens soon then the maltese will have to wait for a little bit. Don’t think we’ll have enough time for both.

Hmmm – the comment about a “real” dog – was out of line. lol. Size doesn’t matter… how many times do we women have to tell *you* that? hmmmm? *wink*. I want a little furball that will sit in my lap and not squish me – and someone who will be devoted to me and require very little from me. I think it’s by far the better decision I’ve made in a long long time. I’m ready for the responsibility and I’m tired of sleeping alone.

Twin – I know – I scare us too! :) I love you – and this means you’ll have to take a trip to Cali and attend the baby shower we’re going to put on for the little one. Just a quickie….a quickie little trip to pop in and say Howdy! :) Talk to you later. And thanks for the advise and helping me to make the final decision… I’m SO excited!!!

I dunno…the last comment that I had from a woman along those lines was, I think, “OMG, it’s in sooooo deep!!”… ;)
Good luck with the coming “blessed event” Cece.

*spitting out my applejacks on my flat screen monitor*
It’s in SO deep? are you serious? But hey…we’re on line, right? so we can pretty much say anything. I could, for instance tell you that I can put my legs behind my head and hold that position for about 5 minutes before a severe charlie horse occurs. Wait. That’s true…

Thanks for the congrats! You mighta just won yourself an autographed pic of precious when she arrives.

My nickname in Bermuda was “Apple Jack”…from when I was 6…one of the staff at the hotel that my parents and I were staying at named me cuz that’s all I would have for breakfast everyday. Did you know they celebrated a day of the year, while I was there in the springtime, when the black people could first start going in the water? Even at a young age, I couldn’t believe how racist that was… :(
Autographed by whom (or who?…I can never remember which it is)? You or the puppy? :)
