Disappointing

So, as I have blogged before, JJ and I decided to get the chocolate lab. We found the perfect breeder and JJ was going to be picking up Lilly and nearby it in a couple weeks. There were the perfect puppies to choose from available right then. JJ made arrangements with the breeder, she e-mailed him photos of the puppies, he said he would mail a deposit.

So two days later (yesterday) he called and said he was mailing the deposit, but the stupid breeder had already received enough deposits for all the puppies and we were too late. It is annoying because she must have told a lot of people they could have puppies and just grabbed the first deposits that came in. Lame! They were the only breeders around that had what we wanted so now I am not sure what to do. JJ is really disappointed and I actually am too. Those puppies were perfect.

Again, there are fires everywhere and the sky is filled with smoke. Not a blue spot in sight, just brown smoke. Everyone is being told to stay indoors, but poor JJ works in an open shop so although right above him is ceiling, he is right next to an open bay and fully exposed to all the smoke. I am hoping my work will close the patio so no one has to work in this.

But all is well, just the dog thing is disappointing. Hoping Mom and Richard are having a good time in Carmel.
