If Money Grew on Trees

My latest and greatest food for thought: I want a puppy. 

If money grew on trees, I'd already have one. Along with a maid to make sure my new apartment didn't end up smelling like dog. Unfortunately, neither a puppy nor a maid are in the current budget. One day, maybe I'll have both. But for now, here are some cute ones I've come across. 

Precious, right? I'd take either... But I suppose that if I had a puppy then I'd have to come up with some equally amazing name to sum up how cute either of these two would be. 

I think a puppy is a reasonable accessory  to my new life. He or she might just keep me sane.. Give me stability in this that is my new world. In a new city. With all of these new people. Everyone needs a friend. One that you can't move away from, graduate and leave; One that won't turn their back on you, who will love you always, snuggling up with you whenever you can't see the silver lining in the storm clouds... Woman's best friend? Be with me on this. 

Thoughts?

it sounded like a good idea to me. but low and behold dogs are a shit load more work than you bargain for. dont get me wrong, the constant companionship is great, the kisses and the puppy eyes will melt you to pieces. but puppies especially need CONSTANT attention until they get in the swing of things. this usually takes 2 years and a shit load of patience.

i love my pup, but there are times when i wish i didnt have to worry about coming home to let him out, or making sure he hasnt eaten the cats food, etc.

if u still want one, and cant afford much, go to a local shelter. thats where i found woody, my pure-bred mini dachshund. i was patient. took me about six months of looking until i found him, but he is a gem.

look at petfinder
take a peek at this and do a little research on puppymills, pet-stores, and backyard breeders first!
