Pet Sick

I don't know any other way to title this post. How else can I get across the fact the I miss my puppy!!! So, it's like I'm home sick, only...for my pet!

 

I mean, look at him!! He's adorable. He's my little Snickerdoodle (his name is actually Snickers, but doesn't he look more like Snickerdoodle to you?) and I haven't seen him in soooo looooong and I miss him like crazy.

He' a Yorkie-Poo and a ball of sass and energy (sometimes I call him my little Satan puppy. He can be mean!)

But he's still my puppy! Well, my parents puppy. And he's not exactly a puppy anymore, since he turned 2 this past December. But I will forever call him my puppy.

I love when I get to "pet sit" for my parents and he comes to stay with me! My roommate has a dog, but he isn't my little Snickerdoodle, so it's not quite the same. So when I get the chance to love and snuggle my puppy, I get so excited! He gets even more excited, though. Remember, I said he's a ball of energy. I'm pretty sure he could win a Nascar race sometimes.

Like I said, he's actually my parent's dog, so I don't get to see him as much as I would like. That's why recently, I've been contemplating getting a dog of my own. I wanted to adopt, but I can't find what I'm looking for at the shelters around my apartment. I want a small dog that doesn't shed (like Snickers!) because my roommate already has the position of "large dog that sheds like nobody's business" filled with her dog. I don't think I can handle anymore dog hair around the apartment. And I want something small because I feel bad keeping a larger dog in an apartment, where he doesn't have a yard to run around in =(

Since I can't find anything at the shelters, I actually started looking at Mi-Ki's. 

They are absolutely ADORABLE.

But also absolutely expensive. If I do decide to get one, I'm going to have to wait a while. 

BUT LOOK AT HOW ADORABLE IT IS! They're small, and there's a type that doesn't shed, so they are the perfect dog for me!

If I get one, Snickers might get a little jealous when he comes to visit.

But nothing could ever replace my precious little Snickerdoodle.

Bonus picture! Snickers when he was actually a puppy!! How freakin' cute was he?
