Dogs n' Stuff

"It's gonna be May!"

I was having a really hard day on Thursday.  Everything was going wrong and I wasn't shy about showing it.

My friend, Madi, gives me a ride to the train station when she can, and we usually spend the time talking about our lives.  I ended up talking about how everything was crashing down around me and somehow we got onto the topic of dogs.  She knows I love dogs and I love talking about them, so she told me how she really didn't like taking care of her brother's dog.  I said I would anytime, and she said I would be welcome anytime.  So we got to the station, I asked if I could meet her dog right then, and we left for her parents' house.

When I got there, I met Madi's parents and Bree, a beautiful black lab mix that was rescued from Hurricane Katrina.  I got to take her for a walk in the park and stayed with her for two and a half hours.  During that time, I learned that Madi's mom is a dermatology assistant and way more than strictly necessary about Jeffrey Dahmer (Madi loves serial killers).  I forgot my struggles for that time.

I said good-bye to Bree and went home, and I can't wait until I see her again.
