Spring fever has come. And with spring fever comes dog fever. Every time, hands down, that I see an adorable little, big, or middleish dog I simply cannot bear the longing I have to own one of my own. Which brings me to this current post. I have been doing my research...googling different breeds of dogs and studying the pros and cons, reading articles like this, How To Choose The Right Dog For You. After skimming through About.com's helpful tips, I decided the best size dog for me is medium, judging by the fact that I live in a rowhouse and am technically not allowed to have pets....mum's the word.

The reason I bring this up to you, my loyal readers, is that I believe I am in a solid place in my life to become a dog owner. I live less than three blocks from work so can go home as needed. I only work 35 hours a week so will have the perfect amount of time to care/train/love a dog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Be gentle on me. Thoughts on breed, size, etc. Although my brother believes I should wait until I live in a bigger place where I can have a bigger dog, I can't help but fall in love with each little guy that I see around DC....just strollin down the street....stoppin every once in awhile to smell the flowers. Perfect in all that they are. I leave you with a photo of my two dogs at home with my parents. Although lhasas are not on my radar, I do miss these little guys. All 3 of them. Photo courtesy of Robb.
