At 16 years old I had my first dog . Believe it or not , she arrived before the furnitures in my new appartment . I slept a few nights on the floor with her .

When I was a child my mother and father always told me that I was allergic to dogs and cats . I now supposed that cats and dogs were my medication against allergies .

We picked Keeley up from the breeder last June, in the car on the way home my Dh said, " I love wet cold dog noses, feel it."

I felt it...

Okay, it was wet...

Yes, it was cold...

And the puppy was sure cute, but I still didn't "get" the hype...

Then Keeley puked all over me. And instead of making me want to turn around and take him back (like I would have thought it would have), it made me feel for this little tiny creature, scared and car sick. My heart melted, and I have been in

love

ever since.

Not just in love, but ridiculously obsessed!

It is weird, going from a non dog lover to a dog lover, has seriously changed my life. I have become calmer, more compassionate, and happier since getting him. (Not that I was a beast before or anything). There is just something different about having a dog in your life.

This is soooo my story!!!! I did not like dogs, was scared of them and did not want one in my house. I relented after years of David begging and we went to see Punkin. I fell in love immediately and I love the little dog more than I can ever explain.

P.S. Punkin threw up on the floor of the car - at least it wasn't on me

All my life. Hubby was a dog belongs outside type of person. LOL, we had an inside dog after 1 week of marriage.
Mom said she would always have a lot of dogs when she became an adult cause her parents never liked them inside. She now has 5 dogs and 3 cats. All are inside at least part of the time.
