puppy love

I'm not much into small dogs. i pretty much feel like they all look sick. my boyfriend and i decided to get a puppy together yesterday. well, not decided, it was planned. we ended up searching the humane society, and craigslist, for puppies in need of new homes. after 34 litters of abandoned pit bulls (broke my heart, but we rent &GA isn't into pit bulls, or the rottweiler we saw, OR the english mastiff/bull dog mix that i pretty much cried over) we ended up with a black lab girl. her name was Peachez, which i can't figure out if that is really awesome or really cheesy. we definitely changed it to maylene. way more like us. i have  a feeling she wasn't exactly the runt of the litter, either. at almost 4 months she's big enough to put both paws up on our counter, and still swat at my plate of dinner. this could get overwhelming. but as long as juicy crittoure keeps putting out juicy paw balm& chew toys shaped like diamonds, i'm real into having a dog. i just caught her trying to chew on m's laptop cord and almost had a heart attack. whatever, its fine. who wants to give me some tips on training puppys to do awesome stuff like bring me beer, cook dinner  and maybe do my nails?

so anyway. getting a puppy is halfway to having a baby right? i hope not. but that seems to be the joke of the week. 

 i'm feeling real mature with my new puppy though. i mean, i always saw myself with a pit, or a bulldog of some sort. puppies are puppies, dogs are dogs, but i really had a guideline to how to choose a puppy. ghetto fabulous girls like myself need pit bulls, or maybe a rotti. princesses like my girl calirose need lil teacup yorkies. my boyfriend needed a bassett hound. instead we have a "yuppie" dog who looks like a little princess and smells like coconuts. who knows what i mean by "stereotypical dogs"... just saying. yeah i got a black lab, no i don't have 2 kids  and a taurus.
