When Josh and I first started dating, I really wanted a dog. Like, really really. I would run after dogs in the streets, yank them away from strangers and cuddle them endlessly as I baby talked sweet nothings, squeezing all my love into the defenseless little guy. I was nuts for dogs! For our first Christmas together, Josh, knowing how much I wanted a little dog, had a big surprise for me. I was so excited! It had to be a dog, it was the only thing I ever really wanted! And, it was Christmas. All dreams come true on Christmas!
Well, this dream did not come true. Instead of a real, live dog, Josh gifted me a book: 21 Things To Do With Your Dog. The dog I didn't have. I had 21 things to do and no dog to do them with. But, despite this hiccup, our relationship did still go on and just under a year my real present arrived!
Josh finally broke down and agreed we could get a dog, for my birthday. After stalking Pet Finder online, I saw a little black and white dog with a big pink tongue named Harvey. We drove an hour away and it was love at first site. Some money was exchanged, a quick haircut (and name change), and we were on our way home, now a complete family of 3.
