Puppies In The Rain
There was always a dog in our house growing up.

This means no "dangerous breeds" and no dogs over 25 pounds. This is a stiff kick in the neck, especially if you've been pining for a pet t keep you company.
Instead of subjecting myself to the torture of going to look at puppies in person at the local Petco or animal shelter, I decided to look online. Now, I know what you're thinking, and yes, you're right. It's not the best way to shop, but it gives me some emotional distance on a possible pet. Because, in the end, though I'm hungry for some companionship, I'm also very ambivalent.
I typed puppies for sale into Google and lo and behold, bingo! I found thousands of sites dedicated to the same emotionally cagey user experience. Now, I could browse through the classifieds and see which breeds would be ideal for my ever-increasing isolation. It would seem I'm not alone in my need for some distance.
One hundred dollars later, I had picked up my brand new Shih Tzu puppy. Pedigree, papers, and a supply of food for less than the cost of my heating bill! What a world. Of course, two weeks into life with Florence (my Shih Tzu) has made be reconsider the efficacy of my decisions, I have to say getting him was the best part. -->
