How Can We Not Get Him?

So the other day the kids and I were walking the mall with a group for some exercise.  It was pouring rain outside hence why we were there.  Well as we continued to loop I noticed a Pet Land there with a lot of little puppies.  When we were done walking we went in to check them out.  I love LOOKING at little puppies.  They are so cute!  Then I noticed this guy.....

How adorable is he?!?  I immediately took a picture and sent it to Erin.  He has always loved bull dogs and probably his dream dog.  In doing some research on this fact in college I learned quickly these dogs can be very pricey.  I think he replied immediately with, "Buy Him".

We were just looking at them when the lady brings the little girl out and asks if we want to play with her.  So the kids and I head into a sitting area and cuddle her for a bit.  Lawson was all for holding and petting the puppy.  Luke was more interested in watching from a little distance.

The lady comes back and starts telling me all the facts and information about the dog.  I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention since I had no intentions of purchasing a dog.  At the end I did finally ask the price.  She replied with, "Forty five ninety nine."  Now again I had found that these dogs were pricey.  I had previously found one years ago for just under $2000.  I was trying to process it in my head and decide if it was $45.99 or $4599.  I felt the first was a no way.  That is practically giving a dog away, especially a bull dog, but the $4599 seemed crazy!  I was too embarrassed to even ask so we just left and said thanks.  Long story short we later found that the $4599 was the correct price, which made it easy to pass on purchasing this adorable little puppy and just think about going back for a visit sometime.  My little bull dog (Lawson) did look pretty cute with one though.
