New puppy woes

So I'm pretty sure now that I don't want kids for a really long time. Having a puppy is a huge deal. He takes my underwear, he doesn't seem to understand to concept of peeing outside/on the piddle pad. He loves to wake up and play and pee at 5 AM then 7 AM. He hates collars and his harness and his leash, but loves to hop through the fence and run as fast as he can down the driveway. He's figured out the he's a boy, and my other dog Lilly is suddenly very aware that she is a girl. Neither have their baby makers removed just yet. Lilly is currently wearing underwear. The puppy gets carsick and is afraid of cats. I am afraid that a bird will swoop down from the sky and steal my dog.

I always hated people for giving their animals up to shelters, but I think I understand now. People see cute little faces in the petstore window and automatically assume that they have the time and will to take care of it. It's harder than it looks. You need lots of time on your hands to dedicate to training a puppy, and you need to know what bredd is right for you. My mom surprised me with this puppy as an early birthday present. I was caught off gaurd and didn't realize until now how much work would go into keeping him. I would still recommend to anyone else adopting an older dog than starting from scratch with a petstore puppy.

My puppy is a tiny maltese puppy. We call him Joey now, but his name may end up being either Cloud or Elwood. He is adorable and I love him very much despite how much effort goes into taking care of him.

Whoa.

I pretty much forgot how to do this whole thing, and may just be the only person who still stalks this online ghost town, which may just be the reason why I may continue to blog here from time to time O.O.

Times are good but changing quickly. I've found myself missing something I probably won't ever be able to get back, and it's always hard to let go.

I think it's natural for a person to want what they cannot have. Now that I've reached the point in my life that marriage and engagement is a reality for my friends, fellow students, and possibly myself, I've found myself stuck in this awkward phase between wanting to move forward and facing the mad fear of completely loosing the friends that have been slowly slipping away for the past few years.

Have you ever fallen completely in love for someone you know for as little as just one day? It feels like the entire day is some heartpounding daydream full of memories with or about how great that person is, and then by the end of the day you settle your thoughts and slap yourself out of it. The whole ordeal in completely unprovoked and completely random, confusing, and terrible.

I just can't help but miss old friends and old ways.

I can't complain about my life at the moment. Everything is going well. There are always a couple of bumps along the way, but nothing to complain about. I've accepted that people will come and go, but I'm curious to see what the future holds. It's my senior year of college with an extra semester tacked on. I will have my Junior recital in the fall, and my senior recital next fall. I'm going to Italy in the spring and after I graduate I have no clue what I'll do. I won't think too much because I've seen what that can do to a person. I'll just figure it out when I get there.

RANT DONE

I may be getting a papillon companion for my dog lilly from the shelter. I think it's about time she gets another doggy friend

So.

I went to China.

'Nuff said.
