Today's puppy love was provoked first on Facebook - a friend of mine posted a picture of their newest family addition. Some small, fluffy thing stared at me from the computer wagging its tiny tail. (I assume this because 1) the puppy was looking at the camera and 2) the tail was blurry in the picture.) I melted and proceeded to join the endless comments regarding how cute it was.
Later, my friends wanted to go for a walk on this chilly evening in Portland and I will admit I wasn't too excited about it since my ankle has been fairly sore, but I wanted to spend time with my friends so I agreed to go. When we got to the park I saw an area fenced in with many dogs an their owners all standing together watching their dogs.
My friends continued to walk by the fence but I was a little excited and managed to convince them to go watch the dogs with me. In doing so I saw an adorable chocolate covered puff ball in one corner of the fenced area - other dogs gathered around and a large dog attempting to play by batting at the tiny thing. As we walked around we ended up in conversations with dog owners discussing the breeds and their behavioral traits.
Eventually the puppy came near enough to the fence and I ended up in a conversation with the owner - a toy poodle. Lacking the curly hair that has always repelled me from poodles, but showcasing his fluffy fur and winning my attention.
I hope to get a puppy soon, so I'm constantly weighing my options:
I'm so excited for the first puppy addition into my adult life.
