Back to drool…

Have you always lived with an animal? College was the only chapter of my life when I didn’t live with a pet. (There was a brief period when I had fish, but it’s safe to say that I was not meant to be a fish parent.) Dogs and cats weren’t allowed in campus housing – and, truthfully, irresponsible college students aren’t in the best position to take care of living beings anyway.

However, we did occasionally watch Molly, a Basset Hound that belonged to the parents of one of my roommates.  We’d sneak her in for a few days here and there. She brought some much-needed fur and slobber to our on-campus apartment.

As soon as I graduated and got a place of my own, I started thinking about adopting a pet. A few months after graduation, Bella moved in… and the rest is history.

College was on my mind today after I watched the video below.  (Also, the puppies kind of remind me of Bella – especially the one with only a single ear in the air.)  If only there had been regular puppy stampedes* at my alma mater…

*I have more to say about puppy stampedes. Check back on Thursday…
