“Mummy please can we have a dog… pretty please?” This is something I’ve become accustomed to hearing at least once a week. And each time I don my horrible mother hat and say no. It’s not that I wouldn’t love a dog – it’s just that I’m pretty sure the romantic notions of having an addition to the family who would be the perfect play mate for Boo and the cutest of companions for me who would sit curled up besides me while I worked – is not in fact how reality would have it. Reality would have me chasing a four legged creator of mess round my all white house and missing deadlines for walkies. Plus we are fortunate enough to travel so much that it wouldn’t be fair to canine Corriette to constantly be kenneled.
That’s not to say that I’m not seduced by the idea of a dog; many of our friends have dogs who are such lovely additions to their family and I think it’s seeing this that keeps Boo trying to wear me down and who can blame her. Having a furry member of the family would be great and no doubt would be subject to Boo’s passion for fashion aka dressing the dog up until it’s wardrobe rivaled mine! Yes I know Dogs aren’t fashion accessories but come on, as long as the dog is comfortable and happy there’s nothing cuter than seeing when a little girl has lovingly picked out an outfit for their dog. Top dog pet clothing is a great destination for the discerning dog owner from practical beds to blingy collars there is something for every style.
While canine Corriette won’t be happening anytime soon, there’s no guarantee that she won’t eventually wear me down especially when she’s old enough to be responsible for morning walkies.
