How much is that doggie in the window?

Still no puppy. I am puppyless. My house is a puppy-free zone. Number of adults: 2. Number of birds: 1. Number of puppies: 0.

I need something little and furry to love, you just don't even know. My bird hates me, so he's no help.

S asked if he could get a rat. A rat, people. I mean, I'm not the kind of girl who freaks out over creepies and

I'll use any argument I can get my hands on. *g*

My best friend bought herself two rats last spring, a move I have yet to comprehend. She also has a throughly neurotic german shepherd, so you can guess how well these creatures get a along. One of the rats caught pneumonia and died a month or so ago, and you know, I feel guilty as hell about it, but I just couldn't manage to summon any sympathy over a rat. I just couldn't.

Granted, she got them from a breeder so they don't look like something she pulled out of a sewer, but they're still rats. It kinda creeps me out when she lets them sit on her shoulder and crawl around a bit. Though, really, they kinda creep me out in concept, anyway.

I thoroughly understand and sympathize on the puppy issue, though. I'd love to have one myself, but I have a second floor condo and not a lot of room (or a lawn), which I just don't think is fair to a dog, however much I might want one. And, on my salary, I figure I can afford to take care of me and...a hamster. So that's right out. But I hope you find one soon!

All your puppy talk is going to make me want to start haunting the animal shelter website again. ;) I so want a puppy, but I keep putting it off since I live in an apartment and can't really afford it at the moment anyway. Sigh. Someday. I keep thinking I should at least get a fish to tide me over. You know, start small and work my way up to a dog. Hee.

Rats... ::ponders a moment:: ... MICE are cute. Maybe a rat, but I don't think so.

And you can share my new puppy, Granite. (Yes, Yana, that's what we named him.) He's stuffed and brown and has cute floppy ears. Not actually, ya know, LIVING, but still... PUPPY!
