week 14: why I deserve a dog.

    I am a simple girl. I don't care what kind of car I drive. I don't care what kind of clothes I have. I don't even care what food goes in my mouth, as a self proclaimed human garbage disposal. I don't ask for much in this life, but I feel there is one thing I truly deserve. I have lived in Huntington Beach, on my own now for 10 months, minutes away from the dog beach. So the fact that I still do not have a dog makes absolutely no sense. Every day I see people walking around town with their furry friends and a piece of my heart fractures every time. "Why can't that be me?" my heart solemnly cries every time I see a human with their dogs, strutting down the street. I walk dogs for an app called Wag!, and just walking someone else's dog for a little bit every day is enough to keep me in a good mood for days.  What I don't understand is why those people pay someone to walk their dogs for them. I would give anything to take my dogs back in Arizona on a walk every day. If only they weren't so dang far. Because I cant see my dogs every day, I have attempted to bring home a new dog several times. And every time something has gotten in the way and it hasn't worked out. For reasons totally out of my control too! So i'm gonna go ahead and blame this on the big guy upstairs... so what the hell God? Why can't I have a dog? I've spent days going to adoption fairs and rescues and researching breeders only to run into roadblocks every single time! Sounds a little suspicious right? Maybe Satan is the one doing this to me. Whatever... whoever it is, they better cut it out because summer is coming up. If I have to spend summer alone at the beach in this stupid state without a dog, I think I might just explode. I am a good person and an even better dog mom who is ready to devote her entire heart and soul to a cute puppy pal. So hopefully my days lacking a dog end very soon.
