Finally Over!!!

Why is the shortest month of the year sooooo bloody long? It felt like an eternity but February is finally over!!! Of course winter tends to try and stick around until April, so the only thing over is February, but hey it's a start.

Today is our dog Tiffy's 9th Birthday. She's getting to be a middle aged girl who can't wait until spring, because she's become pretty fat and lazy over the winter. Well fat and lazy are the corner stones of her personality to begin with, it just becomes more accentuated in the winter. I weighed her last week and she was close to 90 pounds which is too fat for a dog her size, so she will be getting many regular trips to the lake this spring and summer and less people food. I may even start running in the real world so she and Elton will get to go with me. Technically Tiffy is Darrell's dog and Elton is mine, but they don't know the difference. He got her a couple weeks before we met and started our relationship, so May will mark 9 years since we first got together and August will mark 9 years since we moved to New Brunswick together. Where did all the the go?

Happy Birthday Tiffy.

But, they're too much like children... im not sure if im ready for that kind of commitment. hmm, maybe i'll start with a cat. A grungy ol cat.

They are exactly like kids, only they never ever grow up and become independant, they're like toddlers for life, but they love you unconditionally. Having a dog is a very rewarding and very limiting experience at the same time. Ours go everywhere with us, even to work, but also make it complicated for us to go places. On vacation you either have to have someone look after them, or take them with.(both options have their complications)
It's huge commitment but so worth it, I wouldn't trade having our dogs for anything.
