Drivel: A Younger Man
I said it would never happen. What is that old adage about women never being wrong, we just change our minds?
It happened.
I have a new man in my life.
He's got gorgeous thick brown hair, soulful brown eyes, and the smallest wet nose you ever saw.
He's a 7-week old Shetland Sheepdog, and he joined our household (much to the cat's dismay) last night. I think this is the youngest dog I've ever had.
He's very small, yet seems to have an indomitable spirit. He's been popped by the cat at least twice today.
The decision took us about a week and during that time we were discussing deep theological issues... like who was going to chase the chicken out of the backyard this time, and what were we going to do
with that little bit leftover from dinner? Wouldn't it be nice to have a dog to clean up the spilled noodles and what would I do if an intruder came into the house?
So we browsed breeds and ended up back with a Sheltie. Big surprise there, I guess.
Now our dog would solve all these major dilemmas, right?
Well, the reality is a little bit different.
A 7-week-old can't have people-food.
An intruder would likely step on him because he has this tendency to attack your feet when you walk.
Remember Simba's first attempts at roaring in The Lion King? That's the way this guy's bark sounds.
And the chicken in the backyard? It's bigger than the dog... so far.
He'll grow, though, and he'll learn. Some day, those chickens better look out.
