A Match Made!

I know a lot of you thought that my agreeing to take Puddy was a bad idea. Well, I'm here to tell you that you were ALL WRONG!!

I totally love this little dog. And you know what? This dog totally digs me! :)

We're perfect for each other!! Let me tell you why:
  • We both like to stay up late and sleep really, really, late.
  • We both like to cuddle. (And when I say "cuddle", I really mean that this dog likes to cuddle. As in he likes to lay right next to me and put his little nose next to mine and wrap his paws around my arm to get close to me. Yes, the dog likes to be spooned.)
  • We both like afternoon naps
  • We both like to eat late at night. (Since Ken's schedule was always weird, he never ate until Ken got home at night...This has carried over since he got to my house. He usually eats his food around 10pm or 11pm.)
  • We both like our space. (We like to fall asleep next to each other, but then later in the night he gets in his own chair, and I claim the bed)
  • We're both supportive (One night, when I was feeling especially sad and PMS'y...and crying...The Puds jumped on my bed, crawled up to my face, and put his little paw gently on my mouth and cocked his head as if to say, "Oh Tiff...Why you cry?" Then he nudged his nose against mine and I had no choice but to feel happy.)
  • I was going to make a "rubber toy" joke here, but I won't.
  • We both really, really like the bedspread my Mom made me.
  • We both talk and/or walk in our sleep (Well, he doesn't actually TALK, but he whines sometimes and his little legs just go, go, go! It's either a really BAD dream or a really GOOD dream!)
  • There's an obvious one here, and I won't spell it out.

I just love him so much. Now, everytime I read something about someone (Michael Vick) being cruel to dogs I just get so pissed off.

yes, they bring a surprising bit of joy into your life don't they!! like i said, or at least i think i did-doggie therapy is THE BEST. and who cares if you took ken's dog vs saving another one- obviously that doggie is better off w/ you! besides, it sounds like he's pretty good, no peeing,chewing,he's crate-trained,
etc. you would have not had the time to deal w/ a puppy having to start from scratch!

Great Post! And you are so right about that Michael Vick thing. Once you have a doggie to love, that shit just makes you livid! I hope he gets serious jail time some place really scary -- like Guantanamo! Of course, he probably won't. But I can dream!
I'm glad you love Puddy so much. He's a little cutie!

Someone in my store the other day had a Vick jersey on, and I wanted to walk up to him and cock-punch him.

Now it makes sense why you were so incensed about that guys Vick jersey. I didn't get it at the time. I mean, I got it, but now I "get" it.
