Jinxed it

by forloveofcarrots on June 26, 2012

I can be a very superstitious persona at times. I knock on wood, even if there isn’t any, the mere point of saying “knock on wood” makes me feel better about a situation. I usually keep my secrets until they actually happen then I will happily tell people. For example when searching for a job I went on numerous job interviews all of which my mom wanted to talk about and then tell other people about, this made me crazy because I believed that because I was talking about it I would jinx it and not get the job.

You may think this is ridiculous, but this is how my mind works.

Yesterday I went back and forth about whether or not I should share the news that we are getting a puppy. I decided to share our excitement with you and immediately regretted it last night when I got a text from Jeff saying we weren’t going to get out puppy until the 20th because one of his foster brother’s didn’t get approved by the vet because of some rash he has. So that meant none of the puppies can travel.

To say we are disappointed is an understatement. Of course the health of our new dog is very important to us and we are glad all the proper precautions are being taken. But we were so thrilled to get this puppy on Friday it breaks our hearts a little that we have to wait even longer.

My mom said to me maybe he will come potty trained now, I said he better come being able to do some back flips…

Sorry to be such a downer we are super bummed.

Here is to hoping Tuesday is better then Monday!

Let the count down begin

Honestly, I know it is hard to hear but you should be thankful. My aunt got a puppy and it died within a week because they didn’t take proper precautions right away at the breeder’s. Better they sort that out before you get attached like they did. I am sorry for the bad news but hang in there. It will still love you just as much. I am so superstitious as well!
