dog craving

I want to adopt a dog so badly it aches. I've even been dreaming about it for the last couple nights and I really, really hope we can persuade our landlord to allow a dog. So cross your fingers, think good thoughts, or send up a prayer, according to your preference. I'll take anything I can get, because I'm desperate to have a buddy of the canine variety.

In the meantime, I need to stop lusting for a dog and checking out the rescue websites to ogle pictures. Aside from the fact that I should be doing work, we wouldn't be getting the hypothetical dog until September, when hopefully most of the ones posted now will have homes.

I really, really, really want a dog. I'll do anything to make it happen and to be a good caretaker. So, here's hoping that it'll work out.
