After years and years of careful consideration I have decided on a breed of dog, and have consented to allowing myself to actually get said dog. I grew up around Airedale Terriers and since my mom was a breeder I generally had about 8 puppies to play with in addition to the parents and a small little miscellaneous dog named Sassy. (This is not counting the cats, horses, goldfish and pet skunks we had hanging around too. ) Aka, lots of animals. Anyways, back to the original point of this entry. I have been tossing around various breed ideas for about 5 or 6 years now but I kept putting it off because I was so busy with school, work and moving all of the time. Well now that the majority of that is over I have decided that I should let myself have the furry companion I have been missing. So...dramatic music...I will be getting an Irish Terrier. This way I will have the personality of a terrier which I love, it will not be a huge dog so it can handle the apartment until I have a house to live in, and Joey will not be able to complain about shedding hair because they do not shed. That last part was not a very big deciding factor, just a perk. I'm pretty excited and I have started contacting breeders. Sadly it seems like no one in Colorado has ever heard of this type of dog so I will be going out of state to get it. It will probably be a couple of months before I actually get the pup due both to being able to afford one and wanting to know what is going with Joey/work/ San Fransisco. But.. at some point in the next year I will be bringing home a little red headed male to keep me company on my runs and brighten my happy little home. I promise to keep everyone up to date as I find out more, because I am sure you are all dying to know. Really, I know how important my blog is to keeping your daily lives flowing smoothly. :) Alright alright, I am off to go do those things that I do... meaning I am going to go put away laundry and hang out with the maintenance men until they finish fixing the never ending problems with our apartment. Maybe I'll throw a picture or two up of the scary things that have been growing in our apartment. Yikes..
