Maila (Nurmi) is my pet, I bought her from a colleague when she was just a puppy...
As I used to have small pets I couldn't imagine that she would eat my shoes and make a huge mess when left alone...
I'm still learning how to deal with her, and it is really hard for me, but she loves me, and I can see it when I come back home from work and her eyes are shining and she just want to stay by my side...
Dogs are a great responsability, they are a small life that you need to keep, feed, and give love for some years, and believe me, this time flies!
You may have a dog, work, friends, college... But all your dog have is you, he's aways waiting for you and trying to call your attention... You should consider him your best friend.
I can't wait to go home and see Maila there, waiting for me!
