This puppy...having the responsibility to care, nurture, and teach him. In a way, this is what I've always wanted. Always been looking for a somewhat blank slate to make my own, to make into the form I wanted it to be. At the same time, I feel as if I've done too much of that and I don't want to di it anymore. I've been doing it all my life, I do it everyday.

Both my cousin and I (she in her thirties and is the eldest child) have realized that we need less responsibility in our private lives. That's the reason the only pet possibility I had thought of was a cat, which by the way, she has. Cats are independent and like I mentioned in the previous entry, [needy + clingy = annoying] in my eyes. *siiigh*

What WILL I do with a puppy? *groan*

Another side is that this is MY puppy. For the moment and maybe years on, I want to have a real bond if nothing else. Something that is truely mine. Of course, there's also a side track to that. If the dog sees my mother as more of its master...well, then. There won't be anything I can do about that.

If that happens to be true, I will let my mommy have him and have her fun.

*sigh* I have to go. *wave* Bye!

Dunno what you really CAN do with it. Feed it, care for it... Hope it doesn't soil your furniture...

Well I'm sure you'll figure something out.

If you want the dog to really respect you and love you, you have to assert your superiority. Unbroken eye contact is something you can do to prove you're the boss...as well as your infamous double-bladed sword.

But seriously, if all you do is play with the creature he'll just see you as another dog and will probably walk all over you. Sometimes, you just have to be mean when it comes to discipline.

Where be them pics???
