Getting things set

The countdown is on. If all goes well, I'm just 24 hours from owning/being owned by a dog. I just spoke to the kennel and tried to convince them to give him a bath before he goes in for surgery tomorrow. He can't get one for 10 days after the surgery, and he is really in need of one. I even offered to make a "donation" to the shelter if they could bathe him, but they didn't take the bait.



Hopefully, they find a way to get him cleaned up today. Tomorrow morning, he gets neutered and assuming there aren't any complications I'll pick him up in the afternoon.



I registered us for obedience classes starting in the middle of the month. I know I can't do this alone, and even with Beth's help, I'll need professional assistance. So the first 12 days we are on or own.



Unfortunately for Miles, he'll have to spend a night at the kennel during his second weekend with me. I have my team's post-Christmas party at a resort outside Pittsburgh, so the dogs get a little vacation to Mancuso's Pet Hotel http://www.countrylanepethotel.com/. Bodie was there over Christmas and seemed happy, so the boys will go back in a couple weeks.

You'll do a great job with him - no need to worry!
