Hi Everyone~I am back!

[RobynA]

I am happy to say that I am back and expecting my doxie puppy October 14th or so.  His name is William Shakespear aka Willie Boy Bam Bam aka Willie. lol.  I now have medically protected status with a physician's rx for a furbaby all my own.  He is a sweet little black and tan shorthair, and will most likely  be a standard.  For those who haven't heard from me in awhile, I have learned alot the last couple of years about babies, puppies, apartment living wth furbabies, and most of all, my rights to have one.  If I knew then what I knew now, (when I had to shut the home rescue down)...well that's past and hopefully I am welcomed back to the board. 

I still have my two cats, tonka and aleu.  We were able to adopt a shihtzu for my older daughter Lynn.  His name is Ming and he turned a year old in May.  Willie will also be getting some training to alert me to a couple of things as well as being my custom bed warmer!  Ming will have a buddy, and  I can't believe I am saying this, but I am out buying goodies, toys, etc. like crazy so he will have everything he needs. 

I am so excited!  I do have some pictures and am staring a photo album of his beginnings...I feel so silly about it sometimes, but I now know what I need to do to keep us together, etc. 

I will of course need some advice about introducing to the pets we already have, etc.  I have started closing my bedroom door to keep cats and Ming out.  My room will be set aside for Willie to have his refuge.  Mariah turned 3 and is really good with the furkids we have now.  Of course I don't leave them unattended with her-I just don't want to take any chances of anyone getting hurt. 

I have gone back to college and have even scheduled my classes so that I can come home between them to play with and potty train him.  (thankfully I only live 4 miles from the sc hool)  Lots happened over the summer.  For those of you who kept up with me via email, thank you for your support during all the craziness!  I hope to rekindle some friendships and share the special joy that the doxies give!

Always,
Robyn

Well, as a devoted reader of Shakespeare, I have to say I love the future pup's name!  I am sad to say I didn't keep up with you much via email, but welcome back!
