Nugget

I was always a cat person, until this little red dog came into my life.

I promise, I had no idea she was a poodle. She had straight red hair and when I walked by the store where she was, she followed me with her eyes. So, of course, I went in to look at her.  I asked the lady if I could hold her. As soon as I picked her up she put her head on my shoulder (the dog, not the lady). I asked the lady what kind of dog she was and she said a poodle. I turned to the friend who was with me and said,  “Oh, no. I am in love with a poodle!”

So for the next 15 years, I had the best pet anyone could ever have. She was so smart that you wouldn’t believe it if I told you.  She didn’t act like the typical poodle, no shaking (except when she got a haircut and was cold), no yapping. I have been without her for three years this month and I (and some of my friends – she was that well loved) will still cry about it if we talk about her.

So now I am a dog person, with strong cat tendencies :)

Oh, and I met this really cool rabbit here in Costa Rica, so I also might like a rabbit.
