Him: If you could have a pet right now, any pet in the world, what would it be?
Me: Dae.
Him: (sighing heavily) Okay, let me rephrase. A pet who doesn't belong to someone else?
Me: A mediumish sized dog who is kind of lazy, sleeps at my feet a lot, and gets really excited to see me when I get home. You?
Him: A handsome dog who knows he's awesome and may come off as kind of aloof if you don't know him well.
Me: So you want a dog that's like you?
Him: What? (Thinks.) Well, you want a dog that's like you, too.

So there's still no dog in our household. Our lease comes up for renewal in three months. If they refuse to negotiate on prices, we may be moving to a new place. If we do, I think that "ability to have a dog" may be on my must have list. But then the joy of finding a dog that meets both of our requirements will be the next step...
Dae misses you both too. If you got a dog, however, it could play with Dexter and then Dexter would leave you alone and you caould have all the uninterrupted Dae-time your heart desires (and ummm.... I'd get a tired Dexter!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny little excerpt! My husband and I just bought our first house, and it's got a big, fenced yard that would be perfect for a pup or two. However, we have a difficult time agreeing on what kind of dog we want.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on that.
ReplyDeleteI had a personal insane moment last week and asked the boys if they wanted a dog. God must have intervened, because they said no.
