Meet [insert name] White
My mom and dad have decided to adopt a new dog from the rescue league.
here he is.
right now his name is "scotty". However we don't really like the name (since he isn't a full true scotty) so right now name suggestions are appreciated. In the runnings are Marty, Ash, and my favorite, Jack.
I'm not quite sure how I feel about this. I'm excited that I have someone (yes I said someone. dogs are equals in my household...or nearly equal) to fill the void in my heart left by Bear. I only hope that I don't feel sad when I look at this new dog because he reminds me so much of bear. He's jet black, and those eyes!...so expressive.
I also feel bad because I thought I'd resent my parents for wanting a new dog so soon, but I can somewhat understand them. They have an "empty nest" and my dad misses his Saturday morning buddy. I miss car rides with my bud and having him lick me in the side of the face while I'm trying to drive. I find it strange that the greatest loss I've had has been that of a four legged friend.
I can only hope that through _________ I can be a better owner than I was with Bear and to treat him as his own person, and not a projection of Bear. I can undestand my dad's trouble with coping. First he had Heinz for 18 years, then Bear for 9. You love each one of those dogs dearly but feel guilty with each new one. Are you doing an injustice to the memories of the previous friends? Still this new dog needs a real home and I think my parents can give him a great one.
This is a sap-tastic entry. In all honesty, I really wish I was home to play with this new guy when he gets home.
