Look! He’s cute…….and he’s a dog.

I’m not really into dogs partly because I’m allergic to them (I’m already scratching and sneezing) and partly because our childhood dog and I were natural enemies. I was the youngest of many and she was the dog. I took no prisoners in exacting my revenge of older brothers and sisters teasing and torture on the dog. As a consequence we tolerated each other at best.

But  it is a different day and my kids have nagged and whined so much that I can’t hear the promises I made long ago to never have a dog. Also they need to learn to nurture and care and take responsibility blah blah blah…..anyway we have a dog and he’s cute and I think I’m going to like him. His name is Jasper.
