I am heartbroken.
I went to the pet store today to pick up crickets for Nicholas and Alexandra (who tried to sting me last night, by the way), and I saw what might prove to be the cutest puppy ever.
She's this tiny little white beagle with black spots on her back and brown splotches on her cute puppy face. And she's $900. The evil evil attendant let me play with her in one of the booths, and now I'm in love with her.
She's licky, but not drooly, and playful, but not barky. And she loooves me. And now I want her.
But it's not fair to her, is it? I live by myself, and am in school or at work 8-10 hours out of the day. The money I could swallow, but only because I love her so muchly. But I wouldn't want her to hate me for being away all the time.
So I called my mom, the voice of reason. And she said she couldn't in good concience tell me not to get a dog, 'cause she couldn't live without one herself. She just recommended I go to a pound and get one that's cheaper or go to a breeder and get one that's potentially healthier. But she doesn't understand that, while this is partially just my overwhelming desire to own a dog, it's mostly because I love this puppy. And her little licky puppy face. And her little waggy puppy tail.
I already have a name for herrrrrr*.
My dogless life sucks.
Semi-related Simpsons quote:
"Aw, I wish I had an elephant."
"You did. His name was Stampy. You loved him."
Oh, and I did end up getting the crickets, in case you were wondering. But I fucking hate these pets today. Stupid scorpions. Why aren't you beagles?
