doggy longing; puppy pouting
Dan and i have been considering getting a puppy for about a year now, in the same vague manner we consider ever having a child: wouldn't it be nice one day, if we could ever get our act together, blah blah blah.
Well, the thing about a puppy is it's about the same level of responsibility as a baby, only with about nine months less prep time. As in: This is what your impulsiveness gets you, you wanted a puppy, and now a day later you have a real dog to take care of, dumbass.
But since we still do want a puppy ever so badly, despite obvious logical thought processes, we are putting ourselves through a little test. We have to keep the house clean (ie: stuff off the floor where it could get eaten and then thrown up onto our carpet) for a full two weeks before we can start puppy shopping. The test starts whenever we actually initially clean the stuff off the floor.
So far: no puppy for us.
