A Dog!

The last time I had a dog as a pet, I was probably less than 6 yrs old.  I've wanted a dog for a long time. Recently, things came together in the right way at the right time for that to happen.

Now, go ahead and judge me. I didn't get my dog from a shelter. I've wanted a papillon for a long time now for a variety of reasons. I did check adoption groups, etc... but I wasn't interested in a senior dog at this time.

I found a lady online, and googled the heck out of it to make sure she wasn't a scam.  We met her a pet store on Saturday, and got a dog.

Her name is Lily. She's already bonding with me, and doing well. She's 7 months old.

And now the obsession over "is she pooping enough" begins. Fun times.

She's small - just over 3 pounds. She probably won't get much bigger. I really never saw myself as having such a small dog. Papillons can be up to 11-12 pounds. But again, a variety of factors were in play here, and when it's all said and done, i do feel like she was the right choice for many reasons.

So.

I'm a dog person now.

Or I'm a cat person that has a dog who is pretty cat-like. Haha.
