So me and Daniel were driving back to school from a kid's basketball game when all the sudden we came upon this strange ball of fur that was chillin' in the middle of the street. Daniel slowed down and we kinda looked at it trying to figure out what it was. Is that a trashbag? Or was it an animal of some sort??? Daniel opened the car door and the ball of fur got up and started wobbling towards him. The funny, wobbly way he walked is why he got his name "Wobbles". That is until we figured out it was a girl and changed the name to "Chloe". Well, I named it Chloe, he didn't come up with that name at all.
Now, if you know me you are very aware that I am NOT an animal person by any means. There is not a positive effect that can possibly outweigh the bad of owning a pet. Daniel claims to be a dog person, but I can garuntee you that he's not no matter how much he wishes he was. I mean, we both had the heart to save it and get it off the streets but the question when we got back to his house was…what do we do with it now?! We put it in a bucket so it wouldn't poop on the floor and gave it hot dog weenies and stared at it for a while.
"I don't know what you want from me!!!" Daniel said looking into the bucket at the dog...
"Daniel! We gotta take it out of that bucket, it's not happy!" I said meaning "you" much more than "we"
"I don't know what you want from me, either!" he said back with a priceless face, haha
Basically we didn't think through what would happen AFTER saving the dog. I realize that I do have a soft spot for animals and maybe that's why I don't like them. All the emotional,physical, and money trouble that come from an animal are just horrible! I don't see the point!!! Even though I don't see why anyone would want a pet, my heart was being tugged by the poor fellow. So I grabbed a towel and picked the dog up and held it to comfort it in it's turmoil. I mean, I am a loving person and I don't want anything (even a dog) to be afraid. I text pictured my mom and she said "What aliens have obducted my daughter!?" And my dad said "That dog looks like you!" which I'm not sure how to respond to, haha. I would HOPE that I'm not so ugly that i'm cute in a weird way! lol
Anyway, I just wanted everyone to know for the record that I saved a dog today. I didn't touch it with my bare hands, but I did make efforts to make it feel happy. I am itching really bad though which makes me wish I didn't have such a huge heart. It's horrible being such a good person when it comes to smelly,flee-filled things. ;)
