Because I should be packing up my house for our move next week, instead, I've been perusing the ever-so useful world-wide-web for dogs. Yes, that's right, dogs. I'm stressed out AND I have the baby-hungries. Stewart is almost 15 months old, the magic number that indicates to the female reproductive system, it is an optimal time to procreate.
Only it's not.
Oh, the irony. This body cannot have anymore babies, YET, its innards scream to nurture life in its womb. Torture for my mothering heart. How many more years of "fertility"(i.e. hormone driven madness) do I have left--20? Great.
All this, of course, brings me to my time consuming search for a dog. I want a dog not a baby. Puppies and babies are very similar, like both words end in y or ies, BUT only one needs my body.
So a dog it is...though the dogs I want cost nearly as much as a hospital delivery.

Ummm, I spend WAY too much time on Petfinder.com. WAY too much time. We can't even have a pet where we live right now. On petfinder they have a place where you can narrow your search by house-trained, etc. I love it. Someday...
When I got pregnant with Lillian, I was so afraid this one wouldn't stick either, that I made Wesley promise that I could have a puppy if I had a miscarriage. He was worried 'You'll just want both', and he was wrong. I just wanted one small cute thing that desperately needed me.
It has worked great for us for the past two years! :) How exciting!! Can't wait to see what kind you get, Mose needs more cousins!

I like your dog picks and we keep thinking we want a dog but then all the reasons why we shouldn't end up killing the desire. dmaggiemay's post was pretty much verbatim the words that keep circling in my head.
