Our marketing project has run into some pretty crazy difficulties. A combination of slightly flawed strategy and bad implementation is threatening to kill the entire endeavor. I had been hoping for a kind of slow end to the week, but it looks like that's not going to be the case. We've got some last-minute insanity to take care of because everything has to be done by Tuesday, and our final presentation for the client is on the 21st. There goes my weekend. Again.
On a different note, all I can think about lately is how bad I want to adopt a dog from the humane society or something. I keep searching the classifieds on cragislist for those "free to a good home" types of ads. There are lots of them, actually. Do you ever do that? Search for stuff online that you can't have but imagine that you could anyway? I do that with cars all the time, and now I'm doing it with puppies. How sad. I guess what's really sad is that if my apartment allowed dogs I would probably have already adopted one by now. Why do I want a dog so bad?

I do the EXACT SAME THING with puppies. I've even written a few blog posts about it. I want a puppy really bad.
For me there are a few of reasons,
1) my dog is getting quite old, and when she dies, I don't want to have to go pick out a replacement. Ugh. I've had her since I was 9 years old, and no puppy could ever replace her. On the other hand, if the puppy was already here, it would be comforting to me. I can't imagine myself dogless.
2) when I move out I don't get to take Candy with me because she's the family dog. Even though I'm the one who feeds, waters, bathes, brushes, gives her medicine, takes her for walks, and plays with her --- she's not "my" dog.
3) having a dog of your own makes it easier to be alone. cliche but true. they're a comfort and a delight --- a constant source of fun and frustration --- and they don't dump you.
