So Dave and I were invited to a bbq this weekend -- and we went. My friend Heather just had twins this fall and I haven't been out to see them. And my other friend Josie and her husband have 3 children. So it was a bring your meat and something to share type poot luck bbq extravaganza. We were fashionably late -- which was fine. We chatted and visited out on the deck -- at dinner. I held babies -- it was fun. After a couple hours though - of holding babies and playing with toddlers and a 7 year old ... it was time - time to go. Dave and I had a movie to catch.
On the way to the movie we discussed babies -- and we are both a o k with not being parents at the present time. Then we discussed the possibility of a pet. I suggested a cat -- cause I love kitties! But that was quickly veto'd as Dave has allergies and a dislike of cats. So ok a dog -- but a cute one. I like jack russel terriers and Enzo dogs -- not sure exactly what an Enzo dog is... but it's a dog like the one we dog sit. He's like a lab -- and some "duck fetching" brand -- but technically he's a mut -- but I love him -- and I'm not a huge dog person. I also like german shepperds and springer spaniels -- they were my childhood dogs -- and he is alergic -- so we are talking about dogs with less shedding -- and he likes bulldogs... thinks they are adorable. I think they drool to much -- but maybe he likes that? Maybe I should drool on his pillow more... oh wait I already do that.

June 29, 2008 at 7:43 PMsurprizingly enough I vote for the french bulldog, they aren't as drooly allthough they still do shed so for allergies I would suggest frequent washing...also you do get decently immune to your own dogs. It must be love if you gave up on the cats that easily :P- Anonymous said...
June 29, 2008 at 10:42 PMto avoid shedding you need a dog that you take in to get hair cuts... i think. im not expert, but ava's bulldogs shed like a mofo, so id avoid that brand of dog. yes i meant to say brand.- Kristen said...
June 30, 2008 at 8:05 PMIt'll be awhile but it's fun to think about -- I like jack russel terriers - but they shed alot... I also like Enzo -- which is a 1/2 novia scotia duck diver and 1/4 lab and 1/4 unknown. but he's adorable. I'd also be okay with a beagle or schnauzer
