My Request

I love being married to Mike. We are having so much fun as a married couple and we are just so in love. So, as a person that just wants more of a good thing, I have been hinting that I want to expand our family by getting a puppy. (Not baby...puppy) Now, I'm a pretty logical girl and I know that having a puppy isn't the best thing for Mike and I, but I bring it up to Mike everyday because I like to tease him. So, this post is just letting you all in on my little joke.

At this time of year in Southern California, EVERYONE has a dog. They are on the beach, on the streets, even in purses! It is the biggest trend right now.

The dog I want is an English Bulldog. Anyone who knows my family knows we have Sharpei's and we love their loose skin and wrinkles. So, it shouldn't shock anyone that I want another kind of wrinkly dog. It just runs in the family.

But, because I tease Mike about getting a puppy, I have planned out all the details about our future addition. And here they are:

If we get a boy, his name will be Toby. If we get a girl, her name will be Zoey. While he/she is still learning potty training, I'll just plop some baby diapers on the dog until she/he learns to go outside. :) (Mom, aren't you so proud of me??)

Toby/Zoey will come to work with me and my boss already called "dibs" on the dog being our office mascot. (This is why I love California Ad agencies...so laid back.)

In our apartment complex, we have a smoker below us and sometimes his smoke creeps into our apartment. So, I would just tell our manager that we got sick of smelling smoke so we decided to get a dog so we could smell him/her instead. Seriously now, what would YOU rather smell? Dog or smoke? That's what I thought.

So, now you all know what goes on between Mike and I everyday. One day, I know we will get a puppy, but for now, I'm happy to focus all my attention on Mike. Plus, he deserves it. He works so hard to provide for us and I could be happier that he is the man I get to tease for eternity!
