You are doing great. I hope my comment didn't come across that you weren't. I would have done the same. Bringing in a new baby with lots of action is not good. A bond needs to be built, quietly. You are on that track.

Oh no, not at all!! My boyfriend likes to give me a hard time about it in a joking way. I want him home so bad but I will wait (im)patiently. We originally were going to pick him up on April 29 but we are going to pick him up on April 28 so at least that is one extra day with him.

Megan = Meg,
I could have brought him home this weekend but it is my mom's 70th birthday and family is in town visiting and I am having a birthday party for her at my house on Saturday and visiting with family on Sunday. So I didn't want there to be too many new faces/people and kids screaming on his first day home. I didn't want him to get overwhelmed. I want his adjustment to be as smooth as possible. And it's easier for us to bring him home on a weekend than during the week. So I have to just torture myself until April 28. He'll probably be a giant by the time he comes home lol. He actually does look bigger in the pictures then in person.

I knew you were getting Meg...had no idea about Sophie! Or maybe I did and forgot. Congrats on both of your babies!

Sophie is a B-Day gift for The Prettyone her B-Day was last Friday , Your right about waiting way too much would be going on for him to settle and it being you MuM,s 70th it is her day for sure and everyone would want to hold the puppy good thinking .
I can hardly wait to see Louie grow up what a cuddle bunny he will be , thanks for the congrats will post some pics of the drive home with them .

Here is a fun moment for you. The day we picked up Canelo, I placed him in my lap for the ride home. He peed, my lap was wet, warm then cold. We got home, I bathed him, showered myself, then cuddled with him. My biggest issue was potty training with him. He's a great boy.

I texted my BF this morning and told him we could pick Louie up a day early and he made a comment how it could have been a week earlier. My response was well, it's not and he better knock it off. I think he finally got the hint.

Oh Canelo...hahaha. Picking up Louie will only be about a 15 minute drive. I haven't decided yet if I will hold him in my lap on the way back, put him in a crate in the back or put him in Jax's car seat. I know I am going to want to hold him so I'll make sure I don't wear anything nice. When we picked up Jax, I sat in the backseat with him and he was quite the little maniac, but in a good way. Jax got home and literally walked around the house like he had been there his whole short little life. Wasn't shy at all. I am hoping that Louie will be similar but I don't know if I can get lucky twice.

He is absolutely gorgeous, I bet Jax will love having a brother to play with
I remember when I brought FTSE home couldn't stop holding him just like you do with a fur baby but he is too big and heavy now to pick up but he sits on me lol

I am glad I didn't have to wait to get Chunky. I seen his picture late at night online and sent the guy a message and he replied back that he was still available early the next morning. I picked him up 4 hours from my home less than 12 hours after I seen his picture.

I know your pain of waiting. I could have had my pup three weeks before I did, but I decided to hold off until I could be home with him for several days. I think it made things a lot easier. Sometimes waiting is worth the pain. Beautiful pups, congratulations!

Well I was supposed to have picked him up yesterday but two days prior he was playing with his mama and she landed on him spraining his ankle. He's on crate rest now and I'm picking him up on May 5. So my waiting has turned into more waiting. Ugh!!!!
