Life is Hard
I was almost consumed by giant, smelly dogs tonight. Even before the dogs tried to eat me, I was disgruntled. Have I mentioned how I hate winter? And how I don't like to leave the house in the winter unless my final destination is a See's Candy store or a Thornton's Chocolate shop or Tahiti? Yeah. So, I didn't want to be outside, but I had to go with Good Attitude Girl to visit this girl from church who's been sick. We got to her house and her brother let us in, mostly because it's 2 degrees outside. We never spoke to the sister. Instead, we talked to the brother (awkwardly) about his desires to write poetry, while he watched two black labs chew on my hat, climb on my lap and over my back, sniff me in an overly-familiar way, and try to lick my eyebrows off. I was sending Good Attitude Girl please-get-us-out-of-here-fast-before-dog-saliva-poisons-me vibes, which she totally ignored. Next time I think I'm going to pretend to pass out. I think I'll get out faster that way.

SK and I are practically board members of Sees with the amount of moolah we spend there when we visit the west...
Ew. I truly hate dogs that can't keep their tongues to themselves, winter or no.
I am not a dog fan and what happened to you (plus the hair everywhere) is exactly why.
On a happier note: Sees is exactly what I need (actually Thorntons is exactly what I need but Sees will do) and I didn't even realise it. Thanks.
The older I get, the less I like dogs. Your post was my idea of torture. Who knows what those obnoxious paws have walked through lately? Ew.
A new Sees just opened down the street from my house. The spouse frowns upon me visiting, because it takes away from the college education fund for Clovis.
Get yourself some tasty chocolate. It will take away the pain of the slobbering dogs.
I actually like dogs, although I like them a little less now that I'm an adult. But I like dogs that KNOW they're dogs and are treated like dogs. If our childhood dog had ever started licking or chewing or sniffing a guest, he would have been scolded and tossed right outside.
I think I WILL buy some See's, and all of you who have access to it should stock up as well. Even if your spouses disapprove.
Or there are the yummy cinnamon bears at candy mecca up the road from you. Oh wait. The BYU bookstore. Um.
I posted a pie day post for you. :)
