I'm in the mood to talk about this, so forgive me if you get bored but it's been so long since I've had a solid text entry so y'all should be happy! :)
I love my dog. I mean, I think this is the love that people talk about with children. When I am completely down and feel like I'm all alone, I look into Sophie's big brown eyes and know that's not true; that my dog will always be there for me. When we stay at a hotel and we have to leave her to go out I cry inside because I know she's lonely. When we're packing up boxes at home and she looks at me like, "please don't leave me!" I want to take that pain away from her and put it all on me. When she has to pee on a car ride I feel so bad that she has to hold it and it may be painful. When I take out Dexter I feel guilty because she looks hurt.
One of the main reasons that I want this house in Georgia is because there's a big park that my dad and I can take her to on weekends. She's never had that before (the closest thing was the ballfield my dad took her running on at my last school) and I'd love to give it to her. I haven't been giving her adequate attention and exercise and I feel terrible about that. There's no where to go around here except in the neighborhood with the perv boys, but I know that that's no excuse. I can go with my dad! But I'm so terrible at being a mom to her. Gosh, I wish I could give her everything she needs and wants.
There's only one person with whom I can relate the song "On The Way Down" by Ryan Cabrera, and that's Jessie. But Sophie...man she saved me in so many ways. More than I could have ever imagined. Love isn't even a strong enough word to describe how I feel about my Moph. I can't even write a poem about this because words can't describe this.
I'm starting to feel this way about Dex as well, but this feeling with Sophie is way stronger than with him. I just love my pets so much - and I can't wait to possibly raise another one in Georgia. What do y'all think about a Dalmatian?
Tomorrow, I'll have another pensive post about what I want my future life to be like! Yay!
