The deposit has been transfered, so I just need to wait for it to clear and it'll all be set!

It's weird, but I've had just the one email communication and one ten minute phone call with Noonbarra and I just trust them completely- I'm seriously impressed with their breeding, and the amount of knowledge they have, and I am one hundred per cent certain that this is the best decision I've made all year.

I spent last night reading through the remainder of the pages on their website, and checking out the CCCQ website forms about the Sporting Registery, which is where the pup is going to have be registered with the ANKC since they're done with the Working Kelpie Council only. But it seems pretty straightforward, and I've got a friend who had a working kelpie, WKC registered pup on the SR, so if I have problems I can just run to her for help, hehe.

But yeah, it all seems so easy I'm kind of waiting for something to go wrong- and I know how pessimistic that seems but I'm naturally cynical. I can't help it.

My parents didn't even question it- my dad's even a little bit excited. I've got the majority of the money to buy the actual pup coming in August, after my birthday from the extra bank account my dad's parents set up for us kids when we were little. I'll need a bigger crate later on, but for the immediate few months I've got Fletcher's crate and ex-pen already here.

I don't really have to get anything or do anything other than wait for the right puppy to come along.

So yeah, like I said: seems too easy.

Or maybe my previous experiences have all just been too hard and more complicated than they should have been. Hopefully, because I much prefer this time round. No stress, no fretting, no arguments.

It's a bit of a relief, actually.
