Wants and Reality

I read on one of my sisters quick blogs how my niece has been looking at puppies everyday when she gets up. I told my sister that she is a girl after my own heart. Over the last 6 months I have really really been wanting a puppy. Chris and I have been researching multiple breeds and we have narrowed it down to my top four breeds. But to make it even more difficult I am allergic to pet dander.
So that all in itself puts me in the have to have a what is called a "Designer Breed" pretty much means really expensive. So here are my favorites: Yorkies, Maltese, Maltipoos, Yorkiepoos, Yorkschons. All very cute and very much an investment, well what dog isn't. I have been looking all over for breeders here in the Northwest or at least one or two state driving distance, nothing. I even looked into Rescue sites. You would think they would be more open minded, but not really. They want to interview you, then do home checks and then do a back round check on us and then once they see that you are fit enough to take the dog they tell you to expect random follow up home checks. Come on really!!
I know that in some cases this maybe necessary but they act like they are putting the dog on loan or something and the neighbor will be watching and check up on us at will.

I want to be able to find the dog I want, go visit it and see if its personality and ours match, pay for the little one and take it home with me. Where it will get all the love and attention in the world, that we know we can give it. I don't want any strings attached when I leave the place in which I payed for my animal. Is that to much to ask for???
But here is the reality check behind all of this. We have way to much stuff going on right now to throw in a dog. As much as I really want one, the idea of one sounds a lot of fun opposed to having one. Chris has been looking for a different job, one that will be better for the needs of our family. We are keeping all options open which may entail us relocating. You never know what the good lord will bring our way. So with not knowing what is going to happen with the job thing, I think adding a puppy just isn't realistic at this point. I will just have to be patient and wait. Good things are worth waiting for right.
