Business Trips and Border Collies

I don't have much time at the moment, but I have a couple things to tell you

1. Joel went out of town last week on his business trip, I went to visit my parents. And the good news is that I survived. Joel and I have been married for over 2 years now, and have never been away from each other (with the exception of camp, youth convention, etc). I was really dreading being without him for so long.Yes, I know I'm pathetic. Anyway, everything turned out to be fine, and I survived being without my husband for one week.

2. We are getting a puppy!! That makes me happy, because I miss Sachi. So this will help. Plus, I won't be so nervous about staying home without Joel at night. We'll be getting our puppy next week. It's a 5 month old male border collie. We've been planning on getting a border collie, but I'm kind of nervous about it. Border Collies are known to have health problems. But after researching the health problems on the internet, I think that our dog will be healthy. The mother and father of the puppies are both very healthy. I'd explain more, but it's boring information, that I don't feel like taking the time to type out. I'm really looking forward to our new dog. I'm also convinced now more than ever that Sachi was part border collie, as well as blue heeler. The vet told us she was part border collie, but people have doubted us, but now after learning about the mannerisms of border collies, I'm convinced that she really was. (Just in case you guys wanted to know)
