will you judge me if i start this by saying i'm listening to kellie pickler? my ridiculously vast itunes library does the damndest things when i click shuffle and let her do her thing.
life's sometimes better that way, i think. on random. for instance, my dogs. at my parents house, we have two dogs. one of them is a female lhasa apso named sable. sable is my dog. or, really, i'm her boy. one of the constants in my life these past seven or so years, she's the truest definition of loyal i've ever seen. when i'm not here, she's depressed and low. she sits in front of my bedroom door and waits for me to come back and be with her again. when i'm here, she's always at my side. she's sleeping at my feet. shes on my lap. she's in bed and curled up against my back when i sleep. i can be gone for a year or two and she's the same. she can't really jump and she's half blind but, when i walk in the door, she runs and jumps up for me to catch her. that's love. and had my parents and i not taken a random trip to the pound, we never would have met. i remember that night like it was yesterday. she just runs up to me while i'm on a bench outside of the adoption office. she never left my side. sable's gotten me through some pretty tough times and i'm sure she'll get me through plenty more. and there's just no way i've ever or ever could deserve it. all because of random.
the other dog? auggie is a yorkie and he's a little shit. absolutely no loyalty whatsoever. he's the cutest thing in the world and everyone loves him but that's what bothers me, i think. if someone broke into my house, sable wouldn't be able to do anything but she'd try to protect our home. auggie would see some random guy in a mask breaking a window and think to himself "oh! someone else who can get me a biscuit!" but he is cute. the little shit.
and...for the record...it's now "we're at the top of the world" by the juliana theory. upgrade? hmm
