She had me at the snuggle. She nosed her way up to my neck and settled in. There had to be 100 of them at the expo- all yippin' and jumpin' except for the few who managed to sleep through the commotion. But this one wasn't one of them, she just seemed intent on stealing my heart. Unfortunately she stole mine and left Kevin's in the dust. Even though he sadistically suggested I look at the puppies in the Fish Depot at the mall the night before. (I know, I didn't think the Fish Depot had puppies either...and sure wasn't in the market for either at the time...HE took me in there.) I was just looking for something to entertain the nephews after breakfast Saturday morning and suggested we go to the relocated Pet Center since he opened the whole puppy door and led me through it. They didn't even have puppies. So he starts handing me all these books on dog breeds. Suggesting ones that might be of the smaller variety. Why, I ask you. Is this the behavior of an insensitive clod who 60 minutes later would make me exit the expo without my baby? He's the one who asked the salesgirl if they had puppies. She sent us to the expo. And he said he had never entertained the slightest intention of letting me get a puppy. So now, I pine. I pout. There's a sweet little cocker spaniel feeling abandoned in a cage of rambunctious puppies who can't figure out why I broke her little heart. And I can't figure out why he took me into that stupid Fish Depot. I wasn't even thinking about having a dog and now I can't get it off my mind. Shame on you Kevin Nobis. Dog hater. Tease. Dream stomper. Shame on you. I'm not gonna play with you at recess for a month. I'll sit with you at lunch but I'm gonna glare at you the whole time. You're in the dog house big time...
