You want a puppy?

You want a puppy? Aw, come on. Aren't you a little more discriminating? Pets, like fine wine, improve with age. When I think about all the dumb things I did as a puppy, I just want to howl with embarrassment! The chewing of shoes. The peeing on rugs. The unfortunate incident with the vacuum, which is best not discussed.

 

But now I'm older and wiser. I may be a little slower, but I'm also smarter and calmer and less likely to drive you crazy. I'm ready to be your friend and couch-mate, to share long walks and evenings relaxing. I'll romp like a puppy sometimes, but not all the time. Believe me, that's something you'll appreciate at three in the morning.

 

So go check out the puppies and the kittens, and then, when you're ready for a mature relationship, come back to me. I've got a lot of love left to give. Will you let me give it to you?
