Now here’s something I never thought I’d hear myself say: looks like I’ll be getting a dog.
It goes against all of my cat instincts, but while I’ve been a lifelong cat person, Liz has been a lifelong dog person, and she’s waited patiently these last 8 years, so it’s about that time.

Liz knew from the get-go that I wasn’t open to having a dog until Alex had his full run. Unfortunately, Alex checked out a little earlier than I had hoped, but now that our apartment is sans cat, the decks are cleared for a dog.
So now Liz and I are doing some dog research, and it could be that we adopt one sometime over the next month. We’re not rushing into it, but even though I’m a cat person to the core, I’m an animal lover, and while I’ve never had a dog as a pet, I just know myself, and as soon as I see a cute dog, I’m going to want to adopt it and all of his friends, big ol’ softy that I am.
We’ve already filled out an application for one dog, and are have another one in our sights. I don’t know if we’ll wind up with either one, or an entirely other dog, but it looks like we’ll be adopting one sooner rather than later.
I’m still shaking my head at the idea of it.
Me with a dog. Who knew?
