 What should I do?
I have a depostit to hold my baby. The breeder originally told me she would be ready to go home at 10 weeks, which would be March 27. It was PERFECT because it's my last day of work and then I have 5 weeks off. The plan was to pick her up after work next Friday. Then I'd have 5 weeks to play with her, train her, get her adjusted before I have to leave her.
But today I emailed the breeder to check up on her and she replied and said since she's 9 weeks old today and doing so well, I could come get her this weekend if I want! There's no pressure, she is fine holding her until next week also, but she doesn't know how she is tempting me!
So the logical part of me thinks wait and follow the orignal plan. Give her another week with her littermates and a solid start to life with me since I'll get to stay with her.
But the emotional part wants my puppy now and can't wait any longer! I know I'll be losing sleep next week and still have to work. I have all the supplies I need except baby gates, but I can go grab some. I would be gone about 8 hours a day Monday through Friday, but my mom would come puppysit for about 4 hours a day. So she'd just be alone 2 hours after I leave and 2 hours before I come home.
