Honda-Oil Change-Puppy

Call me crazy, not sure how I got from getting into a freak accident with a crazy Utah road rage driver to happily getting it fixed this last week with no questions asked by the other party thank you very much! To then needing to replace all 4 tires on the Honda to getting an oil change to wanting a puppy?! Well, this was how it started, I dropped our Honda off at Central Collision just across the street from where I work on Monday with a rental car provided which ended up being a boat of an impala lol but I am grateful considering the situation I was in. It was ready to be picked up right on time Friday looking as good as new! So happy about that since we were concerned with how it would turn out without them replacing the body part around the driver wheel and bumper. Chris and I then took our car to Discount Tires to replace all 4 tires... Ouch is right! It was a great location though because we were able to go to Smith's for some groceries, eat lunch and window shop with the temptation in buying a sewing machine due to there big sales going on... if it weren't for the expensive tires we just paid for, I think we could have done it. Well, it remains on our wish list for now and that's okay. Our car was ready by this time, so we took car of our last errand by going to Jiffy Lube for an oil change. Call it timing but when Chris and I entered their little waiting room, there were a couple people already there. One in particular had an adorable little Shorkie puppy that melted my heart. I had to share the wealth by letting Chris have a turn holding him before the owner's vehicle was ready to go. Apart of Chris did not want to return the puppy to his owner and then we found ourselves ooing and awing over that puppy. We then realized that we should have asked the owner where they purchased him but then jumped on our phones to a ksl.com Shorkie puppy for sale search lol! For the rest of the drive home and shall I say the rest of the weekend, I searched for Shorkie puppies, about them and I even called our friendly neighbors who had a Yorkie to find out about monthly expenses etc. I couldn't let it go... I found some for sale that were located in Orem, I talked to Chris and he let me stop by at the vet in which they were currently located after work to see if I liked any of them. At this time it was Wed., it was now 4 days and nights dreaming of having a puppy in our home. I am at the point where I am super baby hungry but with our current situation, I new that was not something I could have at this time so I resulted to needing a puppy to give me something to take care of and love! When I arrived at the vet, I hung up the phone call with Chris to see the puppies, at this point, there were 3 girls and 1 boy left for sale. They wouldn't let me touch them since they only had their first 2 sets of the 4 sets of shots needed before they would be good enough to fight germs etc. So the girl just held them while I looked at the puppies analyzing personality, looks, etc. while asking a few questions since I have never owned a dog in my life. I left and called Chris back, told him what I found out and told him that I wanted the boy puppy hands down. He was quite, mellow and the only one that had is dads cute little Yorkie face with his moms Shih tzu floppy ears and coloring. After weighing out pros and cons and the fact that we weren't totally financially ready to purchase a puppy right away, Chris told me what I didn't want to hear and that was that I couldn't get a puppy right now. I finished the drive home in tears. I came home, changed, made dinner trying to hide my tears but Chris saw how sad I felt. We played a game and finished the night trying to get my mind off of it. Chris was so sweet and kind about it too. The next day when I came home from work... to my biggest surprise... a little puppy followed Chris out as he walked out of his office to greet me! I was one happy wife! He was everything I needed to get me through the emotional difficult times that I was going through. I couldn't believe he did it! I talked to Chris throughout the day and on my way home from work as usual without a clue of what he did for me! So there you have it, Chris and I became the proud owners of a new puppy named Milo just before he turned 9 weeks old and just shy of 2 pounds! We finished the night by taking Milo over to the Guernsey's home for pizza and pumpkin painting. Little Avery loved playing with Milo riding her bike around the kitchen while Milo followed her around and around :)
