i don't know about you, but i love how i can talk to my dogs like they're listening to me. i like to vent to them, tell them about my day, and just converse with them. today, i'm thankful to have such fine furry-legged friends.
ringo and bandit are, to say the least, a handful. i remember back to that day when i begged my parents (specifically my dad) "pleaaaaase dad. i'll take care of him. pick up his poop, and walk him." have i done anywhere near my amount of duties? no way. and even though my parents take all the responsibility in caring for them, i love coming home from college and seeing them. i'm thankful my parents let stephen and i pretend that we would fulfill our duties in taking care of them while trying to convince them to adopt them. you see, they came from some petco adoption sale.
ringo came first...dad didn't want two, and ringo walked right into dad's lap, so we left that day with ringo in tow (leaving bandit behind). for probably a good six months, i kept an eye on bandit on a website that he was listed on called petfinder.com. i think it was around christmas and he was still available so i finally convinced my parents that it would be great for ringo to have a buddy.
i'm thankful my parents finally caved in. i'm thankful i can talk to my dogs and they at least look like they're listening. i'm thankful for the responsibility they have taught me. and i'm thankful they're still around when i come home from school.
ringo and bandit :)
