There is a possibility that I will have two furry friends as permanent roommates...I am both excited and not excited about this prospect.
I am concerned about who will take care of them when I travel. Then I remember that I don't travel.
Then I think it is really nice to come home to someone. Then I remember that they're furry and their breath smells like ass.
Then I think that I won't want them staring at me if I get the chance to do the "ugly monkey dance". Then I remember it takes two to monkey.
Then I think that they bark too much. Then I remember that I'll whup their furry little asses if they keep that crap up.
Then I think how much I enjoy wrestling with Trey or letting Fancy on the couch so I can pet her. Then I know that everything will be ok.
The ex hasn't decided what she'll do and I'm not going to make the decision for her. If she wants to keep them, fine...if she wants me to keep them, fine. I'm good either way.
I think it would be nice if you got them.
I had a hard day yesterday, and I paid a short visit to a friend for some comfort. She has two cute little dogs and we took them for a walk. I picked one of them up and carried her for a while. I like to hug my cat when I'm feeling like that, so this little doggie was a nice substitute. But her breath stunk, and she peed on my shirt a little. And then I spelled like dog. But it was still nice to cuddle her for a little bit.
Spelled like dog? Smelled like dog.

He's sick right now and I'm waiting on test results to determine what the next step is. I'm not sure if I'm just prolonging the inevitable and having him put down would be more humane. Even though he's not doing well, the selfish part of me says to just hang on. Sorry if I'm depressing you, I'm just trying to impress upon you how important it is to make every moment with them worth it while they're still around! Let us know how it goes!

I had recently thought about signing on with one as a way to pay for a big trip I'm planning and then I started thinking about how my dog likes to put his big mouth between mine and the phone every time I'm talking to someone. I figure the amount of guys with that fetish is probably pretty small.
