when we got Daisy last year, my friend, Paul, a dedicated dog dude (his SUV sports a bumper sticker that reads "Dog is Co-Pilot") heckled me and insisted that my cool chickness would melt and I would soon treat Daisy like my second child.
Oh no, no, no, I am so not one of those loser weirdo dog people, I told him. Well, turns out, yeah, I am.
She has crawled into my heart and I do refer to her and Schmoopie (my human child) as "the girls" and yeah, I let her sleep in the bed, especially when the Guy in the Boxers leaves for work--she hops into his spot and even lays her head on his pillow and stares at me with her huge chocolate eyes.
I am besotted with my Daisy-doodle and I don't care that there are dog bombs all over the yard and huge black furry tumbleweeds blowing through the house and someone wakes me up at 2:00 a.m. to go pee. I love her to pieces. And yes, I broke down and bought her a stocking. And I embroidered her name on it. Yeah, I know. I'm a loser, weirdo dog person.

Welcome to the dark side.
My pup and my kitty each have a stocking. And I have all the stockings of dogs and kitties past.
I don't buy them presents, though. I let my siblings do that.
Nice entry. Loser, weirdo dog people unite!
oh no, Hank, I am so busted.
Everyone, this is Hank, who happens to own a human who happens to be MY BOSS.
Great. Staff meetings will never be the same again. Can I just say I am soooo effing embarrased????
Maybe now would be a good time to delete my blog...
Although my yellow lab Sampson doesn't have a stocking, he does get xmas gifts - only food since he doesn't like toys, yes I know, strange dog. Although only from my husband's family who used to have a dog. I'm very disappointed that my parents did not buy him a gift and have made them feel very guilty about it. They can't spend $2 for a bone for the best dog in the world? come one!
