miss mo
still missing the sweet moleywole. letting go was never my forte. and it's a bit boring to be dog-less. i'd meant to travel around the world, ride my motorbike more, do things with my dog-free life, but mainly, i just yearn for puppy bellies, and dog ears -- you know that popcorn/frito smell of puppy feet and ears. the soft round bellies of contented and full dogs. that kinda thing. thought i'd wait a year, but i found myseld visiting THREE shelters today to just look at the dogs. i'm smitten with about ten of them, but remarkably came home without a pooch.

the spca -- tho a good organization -- made me feel a bit trapped. bureacracy and so many hoops to jump through. all for good reason, to make sure that the animals are sucessfully placed in a home, but made me feel like a cog in a very pretty wheel. their new building is gorgeous, and there seems to be a rather large volunteer corps, but it all felt a little sterile.

and i know everyone thinks that *they* are a good dog owner, but i wanted to jump up and down and proclaim -- really, i am really! i'd gladly go bankrupt for a dog, rather than give them up. but i didn't. i just filled out paperwork so they'd let me play with the dogs, and read the special adoption criteria ($500K liability/renter's insurance!) and promptly fell in love with many many dogs. aah. not a bad day, really.

well, probably good to take a deep breath and TRY to wait a little longer...
