Totally Random

i have wanted a dog for a long time but i just haven't decided when and how to go about getting one. You see as a full-time student, there is really no time to balance everything talk less of taking care of a dog. I know it takes a lot of commitment and time and energy but i think am ready ;)

I grew up with a lot of animals in my house. My house was a small zoo. At one point we had about 6 dogs, plenty parrots and birds. I really love dogs but i have been scarred.
The funny thing is that i am scared of dogs now (cos of one experience that i had like this) or at least other peoples dogs cos you don't know if they are trained or not. You know that is why they are animals, they can decide to turn on you at any moment. It all started on one cold, rainy December afternoon/evening like this, my friend and i were coming back to my house and we decided to catch the bus. so as we were strolling down this road going to the bus stop, that is how out of no where one "mara" dog like this came out and charged at us. Mehn see fear!!!This dog was a bull dog look-alike; showing all its teeth and all... Thank God for information that i had read somewhere that "Do not run away from an animal unless you know you can outrun it" becos....hmmm if it catches you, then na you know...

So when the thing came near me like this...My head was saying run, run, run but my legs were numb. There was no way i was going to outrun that dog at all. In my mind o ;) i like to think that am one sprinter like that but at that moment i was like "i don finish today". My friend on the other hand ran away and left me there, she ran; i guess that was the first thing that came to her mind. Funny enough the dog did not run after her o,it stood there charging at me and all i could do was put my Sonic Cranberry Drink if front of it cos that was the only form of barrier that i had to protect me from this terror. I wasnt thinking at this point. I think i blanked out some minutes because i didnt want to feel the pain of the dog bite. I thought the thing had either bitten my leg or something.

After what seemed like 20 mins, this dog turned back peacefully like nothing happened and went back through the crack that it escaped from. It did not bite me o.... If not the owners will know who is who today... I will collect one big money from them like that hehe!... they dont know anything yet... even if i wanted to shout for help, nobody will hear me because it was raining, dark,cold, isolated area. My friend was shouting from the front that i should run, run ke?

I kept looking over my shoulder till i got to a safe place, as soon as i got closer to the bus stop, see running, i ran like mad as if the dog was chasing me.. i just needed to get away from that area. See me thanking God that i still had my limbs complete and that i did not catch rabies in a foreign land...Abeg o

Lesson for today: Don't run, Be calm if you can

Now i have decided that i want a Maltese. They are so cute, cuddly, friendly and best of all they don't shed so i dont have to worry to much about getting lint rollers on a regular.

i think i want a brown one just cos the white ones look like cats...Am so so so terrified of cats as in seriously there was one day that i stayed in my car for solid 45 mins just cos a cat was near my door. There is nothing i did not do...I honked, flashed my lights, slammed my car door but this thing did not move o...abi are they deaf??? Finally sha the owner opened the door to let it in....

Here is the picture

So what do you guys think? What other cute, non-shedding, non-growing dogs are out there?

Other Random Whareva *In Ini Edo's voice*

I wanted a maltese or a havanese but those dogs are too damn expensive. I don't have $500 or more to buy a dog. An average price for a havanese is $1500. Dem dey chop am? I no gree oh!

I finally got my ass to the animal control through petfinder and got me a yorkie/Lhasa apso mix. Cute ass dog mehn! I only spent $87 cos it was animal control and i was already ready to shell out $300 for a dog.

I heard mix breeds are healthier and for the longest time i wanted a maltipoo (maltese mixed with poodle). There are a lot of super cute mix breeds out there. Cockapoo, cavachon, teddy bear. I like Bichon Frises also, they are pure bred but they are cute.

Good luck finding a dog. I'm so glad i got mine.
