Me? Update two days in a row?
That's MADNESS!
But update I must.
Something very important has happened, and I am giddy as all get out! We have a new roommate. He's adorable. I just want to love him and squeeze him and never let him go.
We got a puppy! Actually, he is really in the custody of H, but I intended on reveling in his puppy love every chance I get.
Chicago is a dog city. They are EVERYWHERE. We have doggy bars and doggy beaches and tons of doggy parks and doggy salons... you name it. Chicago is one dog lovin' place! I can barely wait until the summer so I can take him for long walks and play with him at the doggy beach and get hammered with him at the doggy bar.
Getting him wasn't so simple. Daddy put up somewhat of a fight. He yammered about the mess and how it was going to affect his perfect life and the responsibility... but H is the most responsible 24 year old in the world. That's why we call her "mom." So I have no doubt this snout is going to be very well taken care of.
I have been dying for a dog for so long now. Straight up DYIN'. I always see people walking their dogs and I always felt a sense of emptiness. Ask any of my friends. I am dog crazy. So I feel very happy and blessed right now.
My substitute for doggy-lovin' was one Mr. Puppy Wupperson. And I'll always love Puppy Wupperson. He'll hold a special place in my heart.
We've shared lots of laughs...
...and I can always sleep very well with him at my side.
But he can't compete with...
This little guy!
Look at his sleepy, wrinkly little mouth!
I just want to squeeze him 'til he pops!
He is a Terrier/Lab mix, so hopefully the Terrier in him keeps him on the smaller side. He is this goldish/tannish/pewtery color with hazel eyes and has the softest fur ever. He makes these throaty little baby sounds that make me squeal with delight.
But we still don't have a name. We've tossed a few around. Right now, I am partial to Sambuca (Sammie) and Stewie... but nothing seems to suit him right now.
H and I picked him up from her friend's house last night and then took him through the McDonald's drive-thru. The big-faced Hawaiian woman working the window declared him adorable. So we took him home and both of the male roomies fell instantly in love.
We popped in Wedding Crashers (had to buy it last night. I love you Vince Vaughn!) and watched it as a family. He slept next to me on the couch and he twitched his little legs and face in his sleep. So freakin' cute!
It was really hard leaving him this morning. He whined and cried and howled and barked. This is his first day being completely alone and it has to be scary for the little guy. I am going to go check on him during my lunch break. Because that is what a proud mommy does.
Man, I just re-read this. Gag me. But it's how I feel right now, so there.
Now if we could just figure out a name...
