I want a dog. Its funny because Will and I totally flip flopped. About 6 months ago, Will kept talking about how much he wanted a dog and I was totally against it because I thought (and this is really silly) that things were “progressing too fast.” Isn’t that silly? I know. It’s like you get married, get a dog and the next step is popping out your own litter of children- something I don’t want to do for a long time. Will said I’m crazy and I know that I am, but that is a really touchy subject with me. I mean, it took me 6 months to make our plants grow, I didn’t think I would be ready to take a dog out in the middle of the night, clean its poop, and all of the other stuff- that all reminds me of having children. Okay, let me put a disclaimer out there for all you mothers out there- I know in my heart there are so many joys of having a child and I am not minimizing those, but I am totally not ready for all of that. but now I am changing my mind when it comes to the puppy thing. My plants are in good shape at last.

Initially, Will had been trying to talk me in to a min pin- yuck. They are so yappy. I couldn’t have handeled it. Eventually we want a lab. Will’s fam raised labs for a long time, so those are his favorites, but we were in need of something small to fit in our condo for now!

I want a maltese soooo bad. They are my favorite small dog. Will knows that if we ever got a dog, that would be my choice. Ever since my parents put Cleo down 2 weeks ago, I’ve been dog crazy. I told Will that we should get one to take to Kuwait with us. since I don’t have a job yet, a puppy would keep me company. A great idea, but not practical at all. When I get a job there would be no one to take the dog out… there are dozens of reasons Will came up with- some reasonable, others just silly. But, he is probably right. Once I get a job there would be no one to take care of it. I just keep thinking that if I have “puppy fever” (NOT baby fever ) this bad, I won’t be able to wait 3 years!

Maybe we’ll get a camel or something.
