Age 8 was probably my last good year, come to think about it.
I just saw my first butterfly of the year, which is pretty quick work when you consider there hasn't been a whole lot of good weather for a caterpillar to grow up and get its wings in!
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
So we may be getting a dog. Ack.

Woo hoo?

A dog should be a woohoo, definitely. Unless, you know, allergies or whatnot.

No, just some nerves.

About any dog? Or this particular dog?

It's a yay from me. I often think I would love to have a dog, but I don't think I can practically break-in a new dog.
My friend just sent me pics of the litter of four-day old border collies that she will be getting a pup from. So mushy and cute.

Nerves in general. We've never had a pet, claiming that we were too lazy for the responsibility. This guy is a dog at the shelter we volunteer at. He came in without any socialization, and he's still scared of new people, but he knows us now, and he's very sweet with people he trusts.
We'd have to keep working with him to make him more confident. But he's house-trained, affectionate, and we're hoping he wouldn't eat the sofa.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Fun, Dana! It seems like volunteering at the shelter would be the best way to prepare for a pet of your own.
I finally made it to Target, where I pulled all (!) of the expired claratin off the shelf and had no trouble exchanging the one I bought. And I remembered to get the can of air I forgot yesterday, which I needed to show ID to buy! What is the world coming to, I ask you?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dana, he sounds like a sweetie, and you sound like you're well-prepared for what you're taking on. So YAY DOGGIE!!
