Puppy Love

I have been in serious stages of puppy love for the past year or so. When I lived in Phoenix, I prolonged breaking up with a guy for 2 weeks because I liked his dog so much. I had no chemistry with the guy at all, but his dog and I, we were made for each other. A few weeks ago, as part of a class I was taking, I got to meet several German Shepherd police dogs. They were so beautiful. I wanted to take one home with me.

I anticipate getting one or two puppies later on this summer. The house where I live now is not equipped to handle dogs, especially puppies, so I will have to move in order to adopt. Still, I am anxiously awaiting the day when my puppies will arrive. In preparation for this, I have been researching many different breeds of dogs.

I have been in love with Chihuahuas for a long time. They're very cute and lower maintenance. As I tend to work longer hours at my job I would feel better knowing that if I didn't get to exercise them one day here or there, it would not be the end of the world. My friend has a Dalmatian and he is so sweet. But I have heard that Dalmatians tend to be a bit high strung and I don't want a dog that could potentially destroy my house while I'm gone. I also love how affectionate and sweet black labs are. Again, I would feel horrible if I didn't have the opportunity to exercise my dog(s) properly. San Francisco is a dog city, hands down. The dog parks are packed with every kind of dog you can imagine. On Monday, in my neighborhood, I passed several Pugs, two Chihuahuas, a couple of pound dogs, a Poodle, a Golden Retriever, and a Great Pyrenees in the span of 45 minutes. (For those of you that haven't seen one of these dogs before, they are amazing. They are large and look like an enormous snowball with jet black eyes and a black nose.)

So if any of you have dog advice, hit me back. I've never owned a dog before, but I am anxiously looking forward to hearing the pitter patter of little feet this summer.


Cuidate. ;)
