margot came home on monday. i got out of work per my fancy monday/friday schedule, picked up the boy and drove out to the country in the air conditioning, listening to donovan and chainsmoking, so nervous. a new collar and leash in the back, we planned on getting a boy, naming him eli, and brushing his long hair.
well, it turned around because even through all the leigions of yorkshire terrier babies, whose photos grace my desktops at work constantly, i fell in love with a mini dauschund, at first sight. she was sweet, floppy ears, playful, affectionate, quiet, rambunctious. her brother and her were in a kennel alone, and her brother was sleeping in her side, so their heads were on top of one another. we took her outside to play and within 30 seconds i knew she was it. this was my dog.
on the drive home, no accidents, an hour drive. she figured out what a window was about 15 minutes before we got home and was so excited. in the house, the cats weren't quite sure what to make of her. theo sniffed, junie ran, margot wagged her tail.
since monday she has had only two accidents in the house, sleeps with the cats, gets along with my landlord's huge great dane and husky, and walks perfectly on a leash.
i am in love.
