On Sunday, on sort of a whim the bf and I bought a 12 week old puggle puppy. I've always been a dog lover and since my beloved WeeWee passed away almost 3 years ago life hasn't quite felt the same. You get used to having an animal needing you, loving you, counseling you so getting a dog, though a big decision, was an easy decision.
So everyone, say hello to Stella.
She's the light of my life and has brought such joy to my lonely, workoholic, and rut-stuck life. In many ways she has made me a better teacher because she's reminded me how to both love and to not give a shit. I carry pictures of her with me everywhere to remind me of this little blessing that waits for me at home. When my kids drive me crazy, when I don't feel on top of my game, when my gas and heat have been turned off for 4 days in the apartment, and when the bf is busy with finals, I have Stella.
I just feel like I've gotten my groove back, and all due to an 8 pound puppy that snores while she sleeps and who likes to eat people's toes :)
