I have been researching kennels, resue centers, and breeders for the past week. I have narrowed it down to a couple of places, and I have a nice little list for Liam and I to visit today. I am so excited.
"Can we go now?!" I whine
"Five minutes let me finish watching the game." Liam says
I pout, and continue to pace around the living room like I always do when I'm anxious.
"It's been five minutes!" I shout
"Jesus Christ you win we'll go now." He replys
Too bad I nearly have to drag him out the door. The furthest place is 45 minutes away, we go there but they don't have pugs, lots of other cute puppies, but none that catch my eye. We also have no luck at the second place. Liam is beginning to get frustrated. Finally we arrive at the third place, which is the home of a breeder, I am surrounded by pugs.
"Oh my god they are so cute look at how wrinkly they are!" I squeal
"Yeah they're adorable alright." Liam says sarcastically
I am petting them all, but there a really tiny one that keeps licking me. The second I pick him up I couldn't put him down. I just knew he was the one. Ironically, I got the same feeling when I knew Liam was the one. Well I guess it makes sense since they are both dogs.
"This is the one." - E
"Are you sure? He looks like a little shrimp to me." - L
"C'mon Liam how can you resist this whittle face?" I say while forcefully handing him the dog. His facial expression changes. He likes him too I can tell.
"I won't leave until I have him." - E
"Fine. What Ella wants Ella gets." - L
"But babe I want you to like him too!" - E
"I do...he seems like an easy going guy." - L
I giggle "So what are we gonna name him?" - E
"How about Simon." - L
"After Simon Cowell?!" - E
"Yeah, think about it if it wasn't for Simon basically creating the band, then you would have never fallen in love with me." - L
"You are so right. Although Simon making you famous isn't the reason why I love you, but he does have something to do with how we met. Simon is it." - E
"We'll take him." I tell the lady
After paying the hefty cost entirely in full ($2000 to be exact) an hour later we are ready to take Simon home. He already has gotten all of his shots, so as just need to stop at Petco for the basic stuff.
"If he pees in the car I swear to god..." Liam warns.
"Oh relax." I hold the puppy in my lap tightly.
After spending over $300 at Petco we can finally head home. I couldn't help myself okay. We had to get all of the necessities.
"Can you tell me why we had to get him a god damn tooth brush?" - L
I cover Simon's ears "Shh no swearing not in front of Si, and yes that was necessary if you must know." - E
"You already have him a nickname?" - L
"Yes." - E
We get back to the house and set up Simon's area by the kitchen. He is already exploring he loves it.
"Are you happy?" Liam asks me.
"Yes very thank you." I kiss him on the lips. We gets I caught up in making out that we don't even notice the puddle of pee next to us.
"On the new hard wood floors you have got to be kidding me!!!" Liam throws his hands up in the air and screams.
"Darling please calm down I will clean it up. He's only a puppy he doesn't know any better." I bat my eyes at him affectionately.
"We should get him a trainer." - L
"I will call tomorrow." - E
"Good." - L
