puppies and gre's

Still waiting on news about Bella from the shelter, I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, but I want to help her get back to good health. I feel like this pup and I could really help each other. There was an extremely cute black chiuaua mix with the biggest eyes, but deep down in my heart I know he's not strong enough to live in my lifestyle. Bella is hearty though - she's got some punch despite having worms in her heart. She's very protective, but I'm hoping she could learn from my personality and my big group of friends and family, to be more open and friendly. It makes me nervous to think about the costs of having a dog, but I also think she'll make my life more structured and meaningful. I think I'd be more money-conscious knowing I have to feed someone else, and more focused in school knowing that someone is waiting for me to get home. I think one major limiting factor in getting Bella would be if I don't get into grad school, it would be difficult finding a reason to leave her and go abroad with the Peace Corps, or to a firm in Slovenia.

All I keep doing is refreshing the humane society's website. The girl at the front counter seemed so happy that I was interested in this puppy, she told me that when she's up on the website she'll be ready for adoption... but maybe she's not there because she still needs treatment for her heartworms. I just hope it doesn't mean someone's already taken her.

No lies, they are this adorable.
