Temporarily Dogless may soon be dogless no more...

Hi all! I haven't been around in a while 'cause of a very hectic life. We've moved and are in the process of cleaning up the house and surrounding property. About half the junk has been cleared out of the backyard and we have four rooms painted. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/whistle.gif The colors look great! So much better than that drab flat white. That busted garage door will hopefully be getting fixed by the end of the month, and I'll finally be able to return to school!

The reason for this post is a dog-search update. I know I said I'd have one by Spring, but the job situation has been a bear. I'd stil prefer a rescue dog, but as Beagles almost never come into the rescues around here, I may end up buying from a breeder. There is a very nice one out here. Anyone ever heard of Mojave Desert Beagles?

Anyway, the financial situation is looking up, and I'm HOPING I can get a dog by mid-June. My ultimate goal is have one by my birthday, July 7. This waiting has been driving me batty, but there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. Keep your fingers crossed. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif
