spanish for buddy

i've had a dog since day one of being forced into this world. i grew up around big dogs, breed them, got small ones, blah blah blah blah blah dogs/puppies/mutts/strays/family. i love dogs, i love animals. i religiously watch animal planet in hopes of vicariously living through the ASPCA. i used to want to be a vet, when i was in 5th grade i did a fucking report on it and had a panic attack because i couldn't decide if i wanted to be a small or large animal doctor. so after i threw a fit, i threw the idea out, and decided to stick with dogs, or any animal i saw and could take home. mostly, dogs. since i moved up here, the most dog friendly area i've been to in awhile, i have yet to have the companionship of having my own dog seeing as though when i first moved i was unable to have pets in my apartment which meant my pooches were stuck back in LA. my sole drive in getting my own house was being able to have an accomplice in crime and snuggle buddy who'd be outdoors-ie with me. this is the first time in 22 years i haven't had my companion by my side, i feel like the biggest loser for saying it, but i had no idea what it was like to NOT have a dog. shits wack attack. so i've been on the prowl stalking the internet for puppies like an obsessed middle schooler over leonardo dicaprio (shit i duno, i'm so not "with it" on what 11 year old girls are swooning over these days, that was like "my time" ahahahahha, wow, i'm not that old). after weeks of deliberation and sorting, i found my options and was ready for the chosen one that i'd smoother to death with love and kisses. in talking to our realtor about the house me and the boys moved into, she put a firm foot down saying no more dogs in the house after the last one left. i was heartbroken. it was like i was just told that my ovaries couldn't produce eggs or some shit, it sucked. so, here i am, once again in bullshitville wondering where i can get cuddly posters of puppies, kittens and ducks. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT BULLSHIT.
so last night, after my tormenting day at work, i retire back home to for once (and is never) an empty house to watch some ESPN highlights, when my room mates girlfriend walks in with a fluff ball strapped to her chest. she says "want a dog?" i laughed like HA HA who's dog are you sitting? (cos thats like THE thing up here, fuck your kids, we dog sit) shes all "no really, want a dog?" i get up and grab him, and say "yes." it was like a beam of light was blinding my eyes and i got a fucking puppy in my lap who followed me around like i was Jesus. cutest little thing, as frankie would say. he had to be mine, i talked to the boys, some serious talking, and said if a puppy would make me stay i could keep the puppy (even though it was not the puppy i truly wanted). like i was asking my parents? FUCKING A, i'm like the mom of the house anyways, fuck yeah i'ma keep this bad ass bitch, hes got freckles on his snout!! hes a golden/peak mix, motherfucker will be larger than life. so,... i named him muchacho, much for short. he doesn't fuss or shit, dog's legit, follows me around, loves everyone and at 7 weeks old, manages to shit outside unlike the almost YEAR OLD dog we had that would shit every 3 minutes in the house and bite everyone. it was parker's birthday and the dog was mellow as hell with a full house and kicked it on everyones lap while we got rowdy drinking. he slept in my arms all night and didn't wake me up once til i took him out when i got up. TELL ME THAT ISN'T THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. thanx. plus i hada cuddlefest finally. adorable, its like cuteoverload.com.
so now im stuck in this, both hands in the air weigh shit out game. i'm leaving for DC in 10 days, going back to NZ this summer, working my ass off ang going back to school. is it fair to this cupcake puddum that i can't shower it with all the love and attention i'd love to devote to it? no. so the question remains, nate says "a golden doesn't fit you" which is true, but he needs a home, and hes just SOEWOWOWO cute, i'd throw him in my purse and take him everywhere til i couldn't. which will be in like a month ahahaa. either way, i got a dog until i figure it out.
