what are we up to, #4 of things i'm thankful for?

sooner or later you know i'd have to put my idiot dog in here. maybe its bc i just finished reading Until Tuesday (book about an iraq vet and his service dog. highly recommend it.).

i don't think people who dont have pets understand the bond that is there with a dog. or cat. or whatever animal you choose. they have unwavering affection. they curl up with you when you are sad and are excited when you take the time to play with them.

i will never say that calypso is a good dog. but she is entertaining and loyal and funny and crazy. i'm so very glad that mammaw got her for me as a graduation gift. it has been incredibly helpful to have her here lately especially. it is going to be really hard going back to living by myself. i'm not at all looking forward to the idea of this, but i dont really have a choice now do i? but i dont want to go down this sad sally trail of thought. as of thursday it will be just me and the dog again, and i'm glad for her company.

i just wish it hadnt ended up this way, is all.
