Coming Home & Dogs (Read this Mom!!!)

I'm coming home from the beach tomorrow. I'm excited because I miss my kitty and my Brucie! Also I am SO OVER SAND!!!!!!! So yea that's pretty much the end of this little section. I'm coming home and I'm happy about it!!

Dogs. I love them!!! I don't have one. I WANT ONE!!! My mom doesn't want one. Not that she doesn't "want" one, but she doesn't think we can handle one with all our other pets. We have 6 cats in the house but it really seems like anywhere from 2 to 4 at a time. Me and my sisters cat are the only ones that roam the house 24/7 the other 2, Sootie (our big fat black cat) and Cuddles (my grandmother's big fat retarded cat) are only out roaming in the house a few hours a day, most of the cats just tend to enjoy being in separate rooms and keep to themselves. I think I know we could handle a dog, no problem! PLUS, when I go to college I think it would make awesome company for my mom and step dad. I even told my mom after she stated "I don't want a puppy to chew up and poop all over our house!" I want an older dog from a shelter who has been there a while, well behaved and in need of a loving home. I really want a dog to take on long walks, sleep in my bed with me, give me a reason to wake up early, make me smile, keep me company when there is no one around, take to the park... SO MANY ACTIVITIES!!! I really think our house would be well suited for a sweet mellow rescue dog, it just all about choosing the right one and not just running in the SPCA and grabbing a puppy saying, "BUT THIS ONE'S SOOOOOO CUTE!!!" I'm not saying no one should adopt puppies but people should take their time choosing a dog that's right for them instead of grabbing the cutest or fluffiest. Anyway, I hope my mom reads this because this more or less sums up my reasoning on why I  want think we should have NEED a dog.
