If Only I Could Have a Puppy

I love that song, “The Puppy Song,” it’s just so cute.

I was talking on the phone with my mom a few days ago and realized, my five year plan now revolves around pets. I can control whether or not I have animals, I really can’t control anything else. Surprisingly, this isn’t making me freak out. If all else fails, I can spoon with my kitty. Hey-oh! All the fish I’ve gotten died. On the bright side I have some really cool vases…

Within two years I will get a cat. I will then start teaching. I’ll be the Art teacher with the cat. I’m okay with that. P.S. I finally applied and was accepted to the Art Education Department at BYU! I’m in and on my way to being an Art teacher!!!

I will teach for a few years, and within five years from now my kitty and I will adopt a dog, from the pound preferably. I love a good mutt. And then I will start graduate school because the school district that I work for will pay for me to go back to school. The joke is on them, because once I have my MFA, I’m looking for university teaching positions. YEAH I am. Yeah.

So basically, the addition of a new animal will mark my life’s milestones.

Now, just so it’s understood, I’m not trying to become a crazy lady with a ridiculous number of animals sleeping in my bed. No. Definitely not. Never. Never ever. I don’t plan on being anti-social or anything like that. I just love animals. Plus, if I’m going to come home to an apartment that smells like animals, I want to actually have animals. (Yes, it’s happening again.)
