My main motivation in getting a dog was for company and maybe lift my spirits. I never owned a dog before and I wasn't sure if she would be happy with me or not! I knew I had a lot to learn and I even surprised myself how much effort I put forth in researching the do's and don'ts.
As time went on, the frustrations of potty training and housebreaking pass- well..they WILL pass, I realize how much she makes me laugh and smile and I talk to her and she understands(sometimes)!! And its not just me- on our walks she gets all the attention and people I would have normally just passed, talked to me(mostly Sadie). I love how happy everyone is to see her and hold her and hear her little whimpers! Everybody loves her!! She makes everyone who passes her smile. I couldn't have better company or a bigger smile on my face and it's all thanks to a 3lb. little white dog!!!
So I hope she wins because she is more to me than just a cute dog, she is my best friend.
