I haven’t had a dog since I was a kid. And though Mister and I occasionally talk about getting one, it simply isn’t practical right now. For one thing, the only yard we have is in the front of the house and it isn’t fenced-in. For another thing – and perhaps most importantly – Mister has allergies. And no matter how much I want a dog (and I do), I simply cannot put him through the misery of labored breathing. So we are dog-free. For now.
But a lot of our friends have dogs and it’s pretty fun to visit those pets. The sweetie pie shown above is Molly. When we arrived for that night’s festivities, she was pretty high-strung. But then she calmed down. By my feet. And she stayed there for a long time. And not once did I mind.
If and when Mister and I do get a dog, it’s nice to think I’ll have that pup as a best friend. So will Mister. I wonder if I can figure out how to install a fence…
