expressions of a dog-lover

The past two months I have had a deep desire for a dog. Not just a fleeting thought...oh no. This is something that comes into my mind often. And stays. I honestly get this almost "homesick" feeling for the want of a dog. It's kind of weird. I am so happy when I get to go to a bishopric members house for FHE and there is a dog! Or last night when we were at the park for FHE, a dog came over and I got to pet her---adorable dog. I was so satisfied.

Yesterday, I got my free movie rental from the RedBox. I always try to get movies that I haven't seen before. This Monday it was Marley and Me. I already knew the gist of the story but am usually somewhat unaffected by that sort of thing. No, no. Not anymore. This new love for dogs has changed me. I am so nervous! I don't know if I can handle it!! There is just so much love and dedication to raising a dog...I wonder if I could do it.

Conclusion-I realized I could really be a dog lover. The fact that I could love them that much converted me 100%. I'm in love and just can't wait for the day that I will be a dog owner and love my dog.

HALLELUJAH!! What wonderful news!!! I had no idea you were a closet dog lover! Well, I knew you liked dogs... but no idea that you wanted one! Wouldn't that be great if we got one around the same time? Then they would be friends!! I am seriously going to get one when 1) I get married or 2) I finish school. Whichever comes first. Have you thought about which breeds you would want? (You got me so excited.. can't you tell?)
