A puppy in our future?

Yesterday, for no apparent reason at all, I realized that it's time for Kels and I to get a puppy. Mind you, I've been pretty adamant about not getting another pet after having "Cinderelly" and giving her to one of the girls at Starbucks. I'm just not a cat person. Never really have been. I've always had dogs around throughout my life. From Pepe, the little feisty cihuahua (my first remembrance of a dog) to all the black Laborador Retrievers we had around the house growing up. Kels wants a puppy pretty badly and I'd love to have one -- even if I act like I don't.

So, with much excitement, kind of spurred on by seeing the blog of one of my online acquaintances, Nick Diaz and his dog Shakkan, I went hunting for a pup. Kels and I have agreed on a few breeds -- something mid-sized, energetic but not too nuts, fun-loving and intelligent. We settled on terriers (ie Jack Russells, Rat, etc). I looked at online Dallas-area kennels, pounds and breeders, but found nothing that fit our requirements.

Kels then sent me a link to PuppyFind.com and that's when I found him -- he's as cute as a button! So...we called the breeder, who put us in touch with the owner and we're going this Saturday to look at him. And she only wants $175 for him! I'm so excited!
