This was an expensive week. Brother-in-law was in town so we ended up eating out and, we were waiting on him to do the work on our fence, which I had budgetted for so that came out and we finally got our dog so there were all the expenses associated with that.
We went to the shelter on Thursday and looked through all the dogs. Actually turns out they were doing a free adoption event for St. Patrick’s Day so we didn’t pay anything for her actual adoption BUT we had all the other expenses associated with a dog (collar, leash, kennel, food, treats, toys). The good thing is, we got that large check last week which helped fun a lot of what we needed for her. We were also able to get EVERYTHING we needed at once rather than having to budget out over a couple of months AND we were able to pay cash for it all.
We think the dog we got is somewhere between 8 and 12 months and we currently think she is a Border Collie/Lab mix. She was an owner surrender, they told the shelter they had had her for 8 months, lived primarily outside and she just wasn’t a good fit. She is super sweet and loves our family. We will start obedience training with her in a couple of weeks once she is a little more used to us.
That’s all we have for the week. It’s been an expensive week but it’s nice to have all these large expenses we knew were coming finally done.
