Tomorrow's The Big Day!!

[Connie & Bocelli]

At last my journey of getting a Doodle is ending.  Tomorrow afternoon my beautiful Bocelli is FINALLY coming home!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am so excited I can hardly stand it.....I've been like a cat on a hot tin roof the last couple of days and just so anxious with anticipation.  You would think I've never had a dog before but this time it's different.  Bocelli represents more to me than just a dog.  He's a new beginning for me, a new companion, a starting over, a little man who will love me unconditionally and who will always be by my side.  I want to cry just thinking about it!!!  Since my husband left me in October 2008 after 39 years of marriage I have been on a very long personal journey, one that has had many, many tears, ups and downs,  but also one that has taught me a lot about myself too.  I am SO READY to start this next chapter and what better way than with this beautiful, furry creature who will always have his little chocolate tail wagging when his mommy comes home. Priceless :-))

Please pray for me and send good vibrations this way.  Since Bo is 11 weeks old and has already really bonded to the breeders (husband and wife), his adjustment to me and my home may take a little longer.  I hope not but I'm bracing myself for it just the same. He's really a very sweet natured boy but I've seen how he acts with the husband, following him around and the husband giving Bo lots of love and affection.

Again, I want to thank each and every one of you who have really helped to prepare me with all of the pearls of wisdom you have shared on this forum.  I truly don't know if I could have done this without all that you've shared.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I'll try to post tomorrow and send some pictures of my little man.

[Linda, Webber and Seda]

My Seda was older than 11 weeks when I got her.  She is my shadow, and thinks my lap is her lap.  Don't worry.  Hand feed him and you will hang the moon.  Post pictures, please!

[Linda and Murphy]

Congrats on Bo!! 

Can't wait to see photos.

Good luck Connie with the start of this new chapter in your life. Can't wait to see more photos of Bocelli. Love his name. How did you come up with it?

[Connie & Bocelli]

Joe, I named him after Andrea Bocelli who is the blind, Italian tenor.  He is my idol and I have been in love with this man's music (and he ain't bad to look at either!!) since 1998.  I have traveled to Italy and have actually had the good fortune to meet him a couple of times.  He's a beautiful human being and he has the voice of an angel.  My ex-husband HATED him so naming my puppy Bocelli has more than one SWEET meaning to me!!

[Anna and Achilles]

Good Luck, can't wait to hear all about it.

How exciting!  Husbands are a dime a dozen, but to find a good dog!  LOL

I am only kidding.  You will have the love of a wonderful being that will bond to you and be there for you.

Sending lots of luck and love and prayers.  Puppies can heal all ills.

Connie, what an exciting time for you!  We got both of our dogs at 11 and 13 weeks of ago and had no trouble bonding.  I think he's gonna fall in love with you.  We're here for anything you need.  Can't wait to see new photos! Have fun!

[Carol and Banjo]
