Puppy No Name

Our friend just got a puppy. A Shiba puppy, which is perhaps one of THE MOST ADORABLE dogs as puppies out there because they look more like baby foxes.
When our friend emailed me to inquire about pet shops, I sternly warned him AGAINST having a dog. Azuki is my first dog and prior to having her, my image of my life with a dog would be like us taking leisurely walks, with her trotting in perfect heel position, and stopping to have lunch at outdoor cafes with her sitting serenly and patiently by my feet.

Instead, I have a dog that hops like a kangaroo, squirms in utter excitement when we are in restaurants so I can never eat in peace (always one hand trying to untangle her leash and holding her back from hopping into the lap of the person sitting in the next table, while the other hand trying to shove in as much food as possible in the least amount of time so I can get the hell out of there). Let's just say it hasn't turned out exactly like how I imagined things to be.

But when Travis told me that he agreed with my point--having a demanding full-time job probably means that it is not the best time to have a dog, but that he and his friend would pop in a few pet shops just to "look around," I already knew what was going to happen.

Yesterday, I received an email from Travis that had an attachment of the picture above with only these words:

"dah dah dah DUM.... guess what.heh."

And of course, the only thing to do now is for me to get SUPER PSYCHED because I GET TO PLAY WITH A SHIBA INU PUPPY!!!!!!!!! Matt and I have fallen in love with shiba puppies ever since seeing one tied outside of a convenient store. It was the cutest thing, just like the puppy in the picture above, and was very friendly. Gave us lots of puppy kisses and it was enough for us to decide that they are the cutest puppies in the whole wide world.

Congratulations to Travis on becoming a new dad! Man, you have no idea how your life is about to change :)
