My Very First Puppy

A personal story in the experience: I Have a Dog
I didn't use to like dogs .  I never used to understand why people would lose sleep, spend money and give so much of themselves to their dogs. 

Then on St Patrick's Day of this year I met a toy poodle who would forever change all that.  I went to a pet store (yes I know you're not supposed to buy pups from stores) to browse breeds.  i was actually looking at Yorkies.  But then my mom picked up this little, light apricot toy poodle and my life was never the same. 

I named him Captain Mal after one of my favorite characters ( From Firefly).

He is smart.  He is adorable.  He eats anything and I mean ANYTHING! off the ground, He is mischievious beyond understanding but I LOVE HIM!

My heart actually swells with love when I pick him up and sit him on my lap.  I can't imagine my life without him, even if I have lost some sleep and spent over 2k on him already.

I've always liked dogs but poodles were never really my thing. Then one day out of the blue my mom tells me one of her co-workers is breeding poodles. I said sure why not and omg. She is the most adorable fluff of snow ever. She's still only 7 months so she;s gonna get bigger. I never thought I'd love a poodle this much.
