my first dog

PEANUT!
in other news...
also in june, i got my very first doggy. i don't have a particular fondness for dogs in general. they often smell bad, drool much, and pee in undesirable places. but i found myself at a place in my life where i was just going to have a dog. so i found peanut. he is an 8 pound miniature pinscher who had been in foster care with a rescue organization for over a year. i saw his picture on the internet and it became overwhelmingly clear to me that this was the dog i needed to have in my life. he is so cute it almost makes me cry and he is so funny it does make me cry. he is a little bit blind and the vet describes him as "geriatric" but i love him and i get to be his mommy until forever.
