Last thursday i was on my way to my econ class at 1130, but decided to stop into safeway to get a bagel. I got the bagel, got in my car, and started driving away. All of a sudden, i see a tiny tiny puppy just walking around the parking lot. No collar, no nothing. I had to rescue her. I went in to safeway and talked to management to see if anyone was missing a puppy. He told me no, but to go to Wal*Mart because there was a girl giving away puppies earlier that morning. So i did, but with no luck. She was already gone.
So.... I went to the dollar store, bought a collar, puppy food, water bottle, leash, dog bed and food bowl, and we went to the park downtown. I instantly fell in love with this dog. She is so tiny, not more than 8 weeks old. My grandpa is a vet and said she is a border collie mix. She is absolutely adorable. My mom has yet to decide if i can keep her because we already have three dogs at home, Corgis. I have one of my own, Bella. But there is a bigger connection between this new puppy and i than there ever has been between Bella and me.
I feel bad for bella, though. I hardly give her attention, but i love her to death. She is the most loyal dog EVER. If I keep miley, we'll have FOUR herdingh dogs. Thats a lot of dogs, eh?
Oh and get this. My mom has conditions for letting me keep her. At first it was, Bella or Miley? but that was too harsh. Then it was "You can keep her if you take out your tongue ring", but i completely disagreed with that. So now it has changed to "Write me a one page paper, single spaced, as to how your life would change and how my life would not change." Preety easy i think, but i have yet to come up with a paper.
Picture to come!

Oh, you have quite a dilemna. I fugure, if you find a dog, you either have to keep it or take it away right away (ie. SPCA) because it is too easy to bond, especially with a cute little puppy. That essay that your mom wants you to write is pretty funny. When I was a kid and wanted a new pet,I would always plead my case by saying how I would do all the work for the pet and it wouldn't effect my parents at all. I was always sincere, but they knew it wouldn't last. It never did, I have to admit.
