Coming home and seeing her is such a wonderful feeling, and there are a million other things about her that make me love her more. I love how her paws smell, I love when she falls asleep with her head on my leg, or crawls onto my pillow and rests her head on mine, or the way she smiles up at me when we're going for a walk...she brings a lot of happiness into our lives!


awwww, I love coming home to doggies! Coming home is the best part of my day, because Traci is in the yard wagging her tail so hard you think she's going to break in half. She doesn't even need a leash to get into the house, because she's always so excited to hang out with me that I just open her fence gate and she bolts up to the kitchen door. I think the air conditioning helped with conditioning her for that, though!wink

My bedroom is the only room on the second floor, and she's not allowed in it. So when I get up in the morning and start coming down the stairs, she gets SO freaking happy, but she's still sleepy-groggy and snuggly....it's the perfect way to start the day. I feel especially good about it because even though she's super nice to everyone, she doesn't love BF enough to get out of bed when he wakes up before me. He'll try to play with her in the mornings and she just sits and stares at him. But if I start coming down the steps, she jumps up to say good morning. So I feel a little special. aww

Wow! How rude. In no way, should the words "how much does _____ cost....?" be the first thing you say to someone unless you are in a store. I wouldn't mind if someone came up to me and asked some other questions about my dog (like temperament, how much exercise, etc.) because they were thinking of adopting a dog of that breed and THEN asked how much he cost, but it seems rude (and a little suspect), for cost to be their first priority.

One time, I was walking my dog and a guy stopped his car and asked, "I like your dog. Where did you get him?" I told him at the shelter. He's like, "How much did he cost?" and I answered him (although I probably shouldn't have). He's like really, you need to pay that much for a dog at a shelter???? I felt really sick after that at the thought of him ever adopting a dog. I didn't pay that much at all for my dog and if he sees a dog as not being worth more than the relatively small amount I paid for him, I'd be afraid of how he'd treat one.
