I had a dog for 24 hours… wait maybe less than that. I don’t know how I talked my dad into buying us a puppy and a kitten on the same day but I did. Cayla, Dad and I went to the Humane Society the day after Christmas in search for a new friend. My dad wanted two cats so we were going to help him pick them out. Of course when we got there I stumbled upon the cutest little three month old black labrador retriever and I just fell in love. He was so mellow and sweet and just looked like he wanted a home. I didn’t even think twice about how much attention and care puppies need and if I would be able to give that to him or not. The reality is I can’t! I travel too much, am on the move constantly throughout the day and honestly don’t have the patience. I mean I can’t even handle a boyfriend and they are potty trained. Anyhow it was fun for almost a day and I promise you I really did have good intentions. So let me fill in the gaps a little more. We ended up buying a little kitten as well. We named her Misty and the puppy Leo. We had just gotten home and I was playing with Leo on the porch when my sister decided that she wanted our new animals to meet. Cayla opened the sliding door and the cat saw the dog and immediately darted across the porch and leaped into the jungle. Say what? Yeah… that really happened, all in a matter of three seconds. The good news is the cat came back when it got hungry, I found the dog a good home and peace is restored to the valley. 2012 I am keeping things simple.
