Hot Guy: Shigure from Fruits Basket
Well, there's a reason Shigure - the Dog - is the guy for today. Today, we went to the Humane Society in town (my parents and I), and we adopted a puppy.
Okay, now the long part. My mom saw this dog in the paper while she was out, and - without telling me or my brother - went to the society and played with it for a while to get to know it. So, she came home and announced we were getting a dog.
This from the woman who: first, killed our last dog without even telling us; swore she was never going to get another; swore some more; and now does a complete 360. Needless to say, we were NOT pleased. Or happy. Or even joyous.
Nope.
So, my bro and I had a fit. Well, he had a fit, and I just was silent. And then she said she talked to dad, and he wanted one to.
WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON?!?!
Okay. He gets home, my bro refuses to go, and we take off. I sulk - I don't talk at all. We get there, and the dog has Chow and Golden Retreiver in it.
ExCUSE me?! CHOW?! For those of you who don't know - Chows are nasty dogs. They just ARE.
He was happy, though - a year old, and jumping all over and wagging and playing. Dad was sitting on the couch they had, and he climbed behind dad with a toy in his mouth. Dad started to play with him, and grabbed the toy.
Bad idea. Very bad. The dog bit dad. He didn't draw blood, but the lady came in (they HAD to have been watching with a camera or something, to get there as it happened - come on!), and had to drag the dog off dad. Luckily, he didn't draw blood, so dad didn't have to get rabies shots or anything, but now the dog is most likely going to be put down. It can't be so possessive about a toy - if that had been a child or someone who freaked out, the dog wouldn've taken their hand off.
That was obviously a bust. So, I was still pissy, and she asked if we wanted to see another dog, wait, or whatever. Mom and dad said they wanted to see another one, and we went into the kennel section. I had to leave, since the echos and barking hurt my ears, so I was surprised when they came out with a black lab puppy. We went in another room with him, and she let him loose to hang out. He's six months old, and a black lab/boxer mix - very cute. YOu can tell he's got boxer in him when you look at his face. Very hyper, since he's in the cage and happy, and very affectionate. And, as I told
The Assassin - addictive. He had me laughing pretty quick, running all over and stuff. We were there for a while - and he LOVES dad. Literally climbed on top of him and everything. He isn't as big as our other dogs, but not small either, which is cool.
After much thought, we decided to adopt him. So, he should be coming home tomorrow, and we already bought dog toys and all for him. I've never had a puppy before. Our first dog was already an adult when I was born - our second was nine months, but I was little, and our third was already four when he got him. So, it'll be interesting.
We took FOREVER to think of names. Top of list - eventually - were: Ziggy (from Ziggurat 8 from Xenosaga.....) and Taz (Tazmanian Devil, people!) But, we had an inspiration through my brother - Banshee, from Halo. ^_^ That's his name now. I think it's cool.
Part of me still is hesitant, but he's so cute, and I think it'll be good. And besides, I've always had a dog, and it didn't feel natural.
That's the big - and abrupt! - news! What do you all think?? I'm kind of shock, but I'm excited. I think it'll work out good.
Hmm....not much other than that. Been getting work done, thank god. Just not today - today was strange. Got work done in the morning, though!! ^_^
I'm convinced the boy I work with is a sociopath....I'm totally serious. He has no conscious, and tortues animals.....I have to go talk to the teachers about it Tuesday. I didn't get a chance today before I left. >_< Damn it. But I know it's serious.
Okay, that's over. I hope I'll see some of you around! Else some people are getting deleted.....Catch ya all later!

Good News??
