I found a CKC registered puppy from German work and show lines.I was planning on buying her.I called my bank to see when I can Cash my Saving Bonds in and low and behold not until January first.I was told they were cashable any time but its not true.So I guess I have to wait until than or longer.This sucks I was looking forward to another GSD.I am sad,I tried to borrow money from my mom but with Christmas coming she cant.Now I am out of luck.Stupid savings bonds.
