Can I just tell you guys a story about my dog? Okay cool, thanks! So growing up, I never had a pup before, which is pretty ridiculous if you ask me. Older brother never got one, and older sister *hates* animals... Weird, I know. Well once I was the last of my parents offsprings living at home, I decided that this "never having a dog" idea was way too outdated. My first semester in junior college, I had a teammate who just got a gorgeous black lab puppy, and I had to have one. He told me that there were a few left, and the family was giving them for free as long as they went to good homes. Well, I couldn't think of a better home than with me. First thing I did was ask my mom, because I love and respect her. She said no. Second thing I did was text my friend saying "bring my dog to school tomorrow."

He sure did bring that dog to school, although he got there during my class. It mattered not
, I wanted to get out of there anyways. So now I have a dog, cool right? Well it did not go smoothly with the parents when I brought him home. It was unanimously agreed that he was the cutest pup any of us had ever seen, but I had to find him a new home. Sad day. I was sad, like the most sad. I thought I was going to have to give little buddy away, but after a few days of trying to find him a new home (I didn't try that hard), my dad actually found him a new place to live. Again, sad day. But here is where the day gets happy.

Dad told mom he found little guy a home, but mom says when dad was telling her this, he was getting choked up. Uh oh, dad loves the pup! Mom rolls her eyes, and says "I guess we have a dog now." Mom was not pleased, dad and I were thrilled! Happy days ahead, that was for sure. Mom took a little while to warm up to the dude, but now neither of my folks can imagine life without him, life is much better with the General (his title, not his name). Oh yes, Buster Brown (his name) is loved by all, I miss him so much while I'm away in Peru, but I know he is well taken care of! I miss this dude, my best bud! Thanks for reading, I'm sure you enjoyed yourselves.
