For most of you reading this, you know me. So you know that I believe in what I want so much that usually it has no choice but to materialize. Like when we moved to San Diego. Or when I knew, I just knew!, that I was going to meet John Legend. Or when we moved 2 BLOCKS FROM THE BEACH! (Post pending.) But I never intentionally manifested this.
...Well maybe I kind of did...
Flash back to when I was hardselling San Diego to Joey. Over and over again. This was a 5-year sale cycle, so by the end I knew I needed to negotiate to get this deal done. And there, to seal the deal, I said something I never thought I'd ever, ever say.
If we move to San Diego, we can get a dog.
And for those of you who really know me you know how absolutely crazy it is for me to even have mumbled these words. I don't need to explain anything to you. I'm sure you're over there like "Amy Levine's getting a dog??? Yah right!"
And for those of you who really don't know me... Well, the story starts when I was chased home from a playground as a little girl. (If my memory holds true) The dog climbed the stairs of the slide, slid down behind me, and continued to race me half a mile home. I tripped in our garage and the dog trampled over me and into our house. I'm sure you can imagine how scared a kid would be after this, but just imagine it 100x worse. And even years later I am/was the awkward adult who hides behind the sofa if a dog is in the same room. I'm telling ya, it was Bad with a capital, bolded, underlined B.
But, I made a promise. And Joey deserves his fair share of our compromise. He's given a lot to my dream and has waited pretty patiently for his dog. I've got to give him credit - he played his cards right because I am actually excited about our pup.
So let me be the first to introduce you to Grizzly Benoit* (or one of his brothers who looks almost identical to him).
*Pups are designated right before they go since the breeder wants to make the most informed decision possible for good matches based on their still developing personalities, so male #3 may or may not end up being Grizzly. We'll know soon enough.
So the cat's outta the bag, or should we say the dog's outta the bag (that's for you, baby) <3
