The name Buchoy is definitely taken from one of my nicknames. He is my number one source of joy and strength apart from husband when I come home weary and tired from work. I love him so dearly!
I had been wanting to get a pet, at first I thought cat was fine but I found out that I am allergic to cats. Next, I was considering to buy a fish and just put it in a fish bowl you know, but someone discouraged me. She said I cannot pet a fish, like touch it. So I thought I'd just get a puppy. But hubby said, NO. He said he would move out of the house or would divorce me, blah and blah. Of course I did not want it to happen, right? So I quit pestering him.
One fine day in January 2020, well, it was cold and snowy, not really a fine day for me, haha, because I hate cold, but indeed it was, at work. My gorgeous co-worker named Ms. Shona was telling me about this Golden Doodle puppies available for sale at $800.00 each. And she showed me a pic. OMG, I got mesmerized when I look at the photo! I decided to get one right there and then! I said, if my husband will divorce me, I could care less! I am getting a puppy whether he likes it or not! This.. is not really advisable. Seriously.
"Ms. Shona Buns" said to call the lady owner to haggle the price, which I did, haha! And guess what, I got him for $200.00! It was a steal! The lady said, okay you can have him as long as you promise me that you will give him a happy home. How impressive my haggling ability, ha? No, not really.. it is because the owner is a friend or a neighbor of Shona's daughter. They live 4-5 hours away from where I live by the way.
When I got home that day, I told the husband I was getting a 6-week old puppy and that he is a Golden Doodle ( mixed Golden Retriever and Standard Poodle), a boy in cream color, he cost $200.00 and he lives a hundred miles away. He said, NO as expected. I just gave him a blank stare and a silent treatment afterwards (again, this is not advisable). He would talk to me and I would just look at him. My mind was boggling already how to get the puppy.
The following day, I left the house without talking to the husband. I was not happy about it but I really wanted to have a pet and the puppy was perfect! And guess what, one of the girls at work volunteered to get the puppy for me! It was so nice of her, yeah? She was going that way anyway for a doctor's appointment, she said, and her mom was going with her. Of course, I said yes! Everyone at work was excited for me. But one guy co-worker said, the husband should approved first. I should have told my husband before I called the owner, blah, blah and blah. I said, whatever. I am getting that puppy, by hook or by crook.
Before that day was over, I got a text from my husband. It was actually a list of the materials to be needed for a doggy door and for building a fence in the backyard, there is a fence already but there was a spot that is not fenced, maybe 5 meters or so. It also says the amount per material, etc. And he said he was going to Fallon the following day to buy them! I was like, OMG!
And the rest is history.
Thank you for dropping by! Have a good one!
