Update On Calliope 11/02/09

Calliope Has Arrived In The World!


Update: I found out late last week that Callie will be able to come with me on December 18th! I'm so excited she really will be a Christmas baby. I have only heard from a few of you concerning my question about getting her fixed BEFORE she comes home with me. PLEASE if you have any information as to why I should or should not let the breeder fix her at 8 weeks please email me. Thanks!

I was naughty again I bought her another toy. I found this cute little baby Eeyore stuffy that just screamed Callie to me so I got it for her and set it aside with the rest of her gifts. I also bought a bunch of little costumes that were on sale for $2 each! I figure I can put them on her and take pictures before she out grows them so I have some new images to use towards next years Halloween cards. I got a bat, a ghost, a pumpkin and a red devil, she ought to look adorable in them. I know I know completely useless since she'll be too big for them by next year but I can put them on her now photograph her in them and use the pictures at any point in the future I want. It's not like I can make HER smaller later on.

Now that I know her arrival date here I went and changed my doctor appoints that were schedule the week after she arrived. I didn't want to get her then have to leave her all day while I did the doctor thing. I think its important that she not be left alone the first few weeks after all she'll be in a new place all by herself for the first time ever and is likely to be scared and nervous. I also don't want to leave her alone with Persie or Dora until I know for sure I'm not going to have any trouble integrating her into the pack. By changing my appointments it means all of us will be here with her for the first couple of weeks and she gets settled.

Last weeks update in case you missed it....

As you all know Miss Calliope arrived on October 18th. The breeder surprised me with the announcement and I am sooooo happy; Callie is finally here! Lynda, the breeder, sent video and photographs! I have posted them for you below and within the next few weeks I'll set up a page for Callie and move the older ones there and start adding new ones to the regular Pug-folio pages.

Anyhow Callie is here and is healthy and active. I haven't gotten to meet her yet but have scheduled to drive up and see her on November 11th. When I go up I'll actually be making the final decision on which of the 3 girls I want. My husband made me promise not to make a final decision on which girl I want until I meet them all in Pug-son. BUT this being said if you watch the video with their Mommy I bet you can guess which one caught my eye! So far everyone I have shown it to, and yes even my husband, has said the same thing ...They all go I bet you want the one that..... and I say yep THAT'S Callie...hee hee hee just watch the video and I think you know which one got my attention. Such determination to go her own way and do things HER way not like everyone else. Sound familiar? Gee what other Pug had those tendencies. LOL I in fact eventually asked Lynda which one that was and she said oh that's the first girl born and when she arrived she said, "welcome to the world Callie" so even Lynda thinks that is Callie. She isn't the biggest one nor the smallest but she is lighter and fluffier than her 2 sisters. Once again sound familiar? Anyhow I am sticking to my promise and am hoping when I visit that I'll know immediately which one is Callie even if it's not this particular one, I just hope she gives me some kind of a sign... I went from no girls to having to pick from THREE. I have talked to Didee and told her she better let me know which one she trained and sent along so the I get the right one.

On another important note please look under the Pug Medical Journals for a super critical question I am hoping you all can help with!
