Puppy love.

Puppies.  Who does not love a puppy?  It is the one thing I have wanted since childhood.  Every birthday I blew out my candles hoping there was one with a little bow on it's head hiding behind the door waiting to come out.  On Christmas morning I would run down my stairs praying there was a dog sitting under the tree. Every year there was another disappointment waiting for me.  Every year another heartbreak.  It did not matter that I did not get one the previous year because each new year brought new hope for a dog.  I've finally come to the conclusion that my parents are not going to get me a puppy.  That if I want one, I am going to have to buy it myself.  I am okay with that.  The only problem is that every puppy I see, I kinda sorta want.  Once I make eye contact, it is love at first sight.  I plan on getting my first dog within the next few years.  Most likely the year after I move into an apartment, and get myself settled.  All I know is that when I get a puppy, I will be buying it from a shelter.  Those poor animals face so much abuse in their life.  Now I am not going to preach about the poor animals because I am not Sarah McLaughlin, and I am not trying to ruin your day.  All I want to say is get your animal from a shelter.  Doesn't just have to be a dog.  It can be a cat, snake, bunny, basically anything.  Those animals are the animals that need the most love from a human.  If you were a good person you would help them.  So, are you a good person?

My friend Victoria's new puppy named Southpaw. 

She is only 10 weeks old.  I am in love with her.

She was so tired from playing she just 

fell to the floor and went to sleep.
