i can't help it - i'm in love

I look at Pumpkin's picture at least 10 times a day, and I can't get over how cute she is. So teeny! Nathan said that all puppies are cute, but he's wrong - Pumpkin is extra cute. Even cat people say so.

I love the expression on her face, so much like my silly-Dindle's. If they end up getting married, they will have the most confused looking hot dogs ever. And her eyes are gorgeous. But its really the nose that does it for me. That little nose - it kills me! I wonder if she can sense that, all the way across the country, there is someone who is already in love with her.

My anxiety has turned into anticipation, especially now that things are starting to fall into place. I figured out what to do with the house to get her situated, and I found an *awesome* pet sitter to take her out during the day when I'm at work. She lives in the building, loves doxies, and is doing it for $10 a day. Excellent! Even more important than the money, I'm happy that Pumpkin will have someone else around who will love her :-)

Not that I'm worried about this little one getting love. I'm sure she's going to be spoiled rotten. Rob is already searching for an A|X doggie sweater for her...
