Well we have had Emma for 2 days here now and she is really good. It's funny but now that we have her I am terrified at the idea of taking her into the trails.
I am worried about coyotes or a cougar getting her. But we got her for a trail dog so I have to get over it.
It's my over protective motherly instinct kicking in again!
You know what I hate? I hate it when you get an animal and you are a girl, people automatically assume that this means you will want to have children soon.
Oh, it's your clock ticking! Oh your desire to be a mother is finally kicking in. Soon you will want babies!
No ...trust me, no such thing is happening. There are a few differences between loving a puppy and wanting children.
Just because I care about the safety of an animal does not mean I want to have it sucking milk from my breast. Ugh! The whole idea of breast feeding is revolting to me.
Just because I enjoy taking the puppy out for a walk to do it's business doesn't mean that i want to wipe a shit smeared ass every hour.
Just because I can tolerate the relatively small responsibility of taking care of a dog doesn't mean I want to give up the next 20 years of my life to take care of a baby.
Trust me , no babies for me. Also, puppies are cute, babies are ugly.
That's the bottom line.
Now I have to get back to work. Too much time spent playing with puppy.
