I never thought at the ripe age of 22 I would take on any responsibility similar to having a child, or any responsibility at all!!

Having a dog is definitely a life changing experience. Instead of being woken up by a crying baby every morning I am greeted by a rustling of the covers and a 52 pound nuisance scratching at the door.

I never understood how people could fall head over heels for something that caused so much stress and required so much energy. I am quickly starting to understand.

Even though our backyard is an 18 hole golf course, and every shoe I own has a chunk taken out of it. I realize it is all worth it in the end.

After another energy filled day I glanced over to see Sydney sleeping on my sisters bed and realized life would be so boring without him.
