I've always wanted a dog but I have always been able resist getting one by telling myself my schedule was way too crazy to accommodate one, until now that is...
I was carpooling with my sisters back home from the family reunion at Lake Crescent when we happened upon a pickup truck on the side of the road with a sign that said "Puppies."
Becky, being the big sister that she is, told me I needed a puppy and promptly pulled the car over. I tried to resist, I really did; but when she handed me a puppy I knew it was all over. Before I knew it, we were making an emergency stop at WalMart in Port Angeles for puppy supplies.
Two weeks later I'm still totally captivated by this puppy. He's just so darn cute and therapeutic. In my opinion, every PhD student needs one! Even my dad thinks he's cute.
