I've always wanted a dog. I was never allowed one as my parents didn't think we'd collectively be able to properly look after one. Fast forward many years, and here they are. With. A. Dog. Yes, I moved out and they finally got a dog!
However, they got her in a very round-about way. My brother's ex had 3 dogs, Chicken being the little doggy living with 2 massive dogs. Inevitably, they stole her food and she wasn't very happy. The little dog had to leave... My brother asked my parents if she could stay with them until he and his now ex-girlfriend saved up and moved into their own place. They said no, they didn't want a dog around. Eventually my bro managed to persuade them to have her for one night as they hadn't found anywhere to keep her that night and my parents gave in. The rest is history as they completely fell in love with her, though my Dad managed to act inconvenienced for a little while ;)
My brother's ex turned out to be not such a nice person and barely even came to visit Chicken even while they were still together. So when they split up, Chicken stayed with my family :) I met her a few months lately and found her a little scary for the first few minutes. She's a tiny ball of fur with a huge amount of energy and she had literally launched herself at me! She soon settled down and fell asleep on my lap and that was it. I was besotted!
Two years on and I try to hang out with her as much as possible, which is difficult considering we're 5 hours apart from each other. My family get a little jealous as they think I'm just wanting to see her ;)
Here are a few photos we took not so long ago :) Be warned, this dog is a poser!
