My need for...puppies.

I am a dog person. Not just kind of a dog person. Through and through...complete dog person. And along with that, anti-cat person. I mean kittens are adorable, but then they grow up. And I really feel like they are plotting something against you. Creepy. Not to mention my mom's cat scratches me every time I go home.

But back to dogs. I grew up with dogs. There was not a single time in my childhood where we did not have 1, though more often 2, dogs. Caper was the first. And he was awesome- would play catch until he couldn't walk anymore. That dog lived forever longer than any other dog we've had. After Caper- there was Sebastian (though he didn't last because he ran away), JD, Rocky, Winky, and Duchess. Additionally, my brother has a dog, Dudley- who acts more like a person than a dog.

This all being said- I am currently without a dog. There are two dogs in the house where I live- but they are shih tzus. And just from looking at the previous pictures, you will notice that all our dogs have been medium to large sized. That's how dog's should be. I have no problem with little dogs- though sometimes insanely annoyingly a bit yappy. But all I want is a big dog. 

And the BF knows this. Almost every single day starts off with him sending me 1-5 photos of cute puppies from Reddit- yes they actually have a whole site devoted to cute animals.  

So yes...my day normally starts (and ends) with photos likes these. Which definitely does not help lessen the fact that I want a dog so bad! And we are going to name him Chauncey (yes this is a normal discussion topic). 

*sigh* now if only I could live in a place where I could have dogs AND it has a backyard for one.
