phobia of responsibility...
man oh man...
so anyone who knows me knows that i'm pretty petrified of babies (ahhh! where?!). not so much their existence, but the threat of their existence in MY everyday life...so, in order to combat this phobia, geoff and i have decided to get a puppy.
now, mind you, i've never had a pet larger than a large mouse (i refuse to call it a rat, even if it should be classified as such), and have thusly grown to be quite afraid of taking care of anything that is alive and breathing (babies and puppies are just the beginning). i know that i need to get over this craziness, and really, what better way to do it then with a cute fuzzy puppy? i'm still scared about the level of attention that this thing is going to require, but am looking forward to breaking out of my freakout mold. we're leaning towards a golden labrador retriever just to make the transition that much easier...
...so excited...
much research has ensued over the past week and a half, so we'll see how quickly this plan comes to fruition...i promise will try not to be one of those people who post pictures of their dog and go "awwww, look how cute _____ is. fawn over him with me now, or suffer the consequences."
there will be no consequences...just a missing out of cute-ness.
