**UPDATE** Thanks to all your insights. The feeling has passed. I just needed to vent and get it out of my system!
Growing up, I absolutely hated when I would go into someone's house only to have a huge furry dog come up to me and licking my hand. There would be hair everywhere and the tail would whip you in the legs. They annoyed me to no end. There was poop in the backyard that you had to avoid. You always had to make sure to not let the dog out. It would sit when you wanted it to come. It would run when you wanted it to stay. I really didn't like them.
Then Uncle KC and Aunt Deborah's dog had puppies and we all wanted my Gma and Gpa to have a puppy because man, they were so cute! So we had a puppy at our house for a couple of months until they came home from their mission. It was fun for awhile but then it would bark in the middle of the night and pee in places it shouldn't pee. I was ready to not have the dog live with us any more. And now, even though Fred is great, I do not want to live with him. I'm fine with visiting every couple of months.
But now, after all this non-dog liking, I find myself looking at puppies on sale on ksl.com. They are so cute! I love the black and yellow labs. I love golden retriever puppies. I love them. They are soo darn cute. So, would someone talk some sense into me before I go out and buy myself one. Please?!
