I don't consider myself a pet lover. I grew up with dogs and cats, loved them, but I was never the type that was attached to my pet. Recently, the desire to get a dog has started to build. When Jeff and I were dating he always said he wanted a dog (a golden retriever to be exact) and I would tell him that they are too much work - it takes time to walk them, feed them, play with them, figure out what to do with them while you are out of town, etc. I said all of that when my life was so crazy busy (working full time and going to grad school) that I didn't even have time to stop and think. Now that my life has settled down and I have a bit more free time on my hands, the thought of having a little buddy to cuddle with really excites me.
This weekend, during the Superbowl, we were outside throwing around the football and spotted PUPPIES! A neighbor in our complex has 8 puppies that they are giving away for free! They were so cute! At 6 weeks these things are tiny. It was adorable to watch them walk around and try to hop and climb on things. I couldn't help but fall in love with them, who doesn't love puppies? Their breath, their innocence, their size, everything about them. Jeff even mentioned that someone would become a millionaire if they could figure out a way to make puppies, stay puppies forever. Isn't that the truth. Anyway, we asked and two of them are still available. The problem is, we are not certain what they will end up looking like when they grow up. They are mutts - mom is a corgi and dad is a terrier and chihuahua mix. Weird, not for me.
For now, it probably isn't the right time for me to get a pup. But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy other peoples dogs. Friends that we had over for the Superbowl just rescued a dog and brought her over to play. Isn't she beautiful? Her name is Abigail. And, starting next Monday I am dog-sitting for friends while they are on vacation. Great practice while I keep looking and trying to decide if I really am ready for one of my own during my
Life As A Wife.

SO CUTE. i love those puppies. i don't think they're ugly at all. one vote for the puppy!
Oh my, looking at those pooches stirred up my desire for a dog all over again. . .shoot. Maybe if you guys end up getting one I'll just have to live vicariously through you two, for the time being at least.
Marlin really wants a dog....Maybe we can get a dog at the same time too!
