Random Doggie Daze (Thursday)

FYI: The last post with the pictures, came from typing "random" into the tool bar of google images.



I WANT A DOG!!!!!!!

I want a dog so bad! It's all I think about. Anytime I see a dog I have this deep longing for one. On the Today Show they talked about training dogs. I could train a dog! As the weather gets nicer I am finding myself daydreaming about taking my (fictional) dog to the park and playing Frisbee with him. The reason I do not have a dog is because I feel that I do not have the time for a dog. I work 10 hours four days a week and am generally very busy. I have an apartment with no back yard. That would be unjust right? And I can't keep house plants alive.

NOW SOME RANDOMNESS

There are approximately 65 million owned dogs in the United States.

Thirty-nine percent of U.S. households (or 40.6 million) own at least one dog. (I want to be a part of that 39%!)

I found this great website about how you can be a puppy raiser. During the first year of a puppies life you get to take care of it and socialize it, but then you give it back for advance training. Too bad the organization is in Virginia.


So, people I shouldn't get a dog . . . right?

you shouldn't get a dog until you can really give it the love and attention it needs (especailly if it is a puppy!!). i really want a dog too . . . but i know it needs a yard (because i want a BIG one) so i am going to have to wait . . .
