Liz and I have made a Major Decision (finally, after months of deliberation) in our lives: we have decided to get a dog.
Yes, that’s right. We will be adding to our family of two lesbians and two cats… and the new addition will be (hopefully) an English Bulldog (you may have seen them as the Georgetown or University of Georgia mascots)!! The arrangements are almost in place, we have 2 breeders lined up and puppies we like a lot (they are SO cute it’s almost painful)… the last thing to do is make sure that English Bulldogs are not on our apartment building’s list of breed restrictions. Once that’s done, I just have to make the payments and arrange shipping, and boom - hello bulldog!!!
It’s going to be a girl, and we have a few name ideas but we’re taking suggestions. Tinkerbell and Gertrude are the top 2 right now.

Why do you have to do breeders, shipping etc. instead of getting one from the SPCA?
I don’t know anything about dog-getting procedures, but it just seems more humane / less social class-ish.

Well, I’d agree, but since we already have two cats, we really need a puppy. We don’t want a dog with behavior problems (one of the reasons they end up there) or an older dog, because we need to socialize it to be with the cats.
On an unrelated note, now that you’re a fully-fledged graduate, how long are you planning on being in DC? Lexi and I want to go out for drinks. Or coffee. Or other forms of socialization. Or is your schedule all lined up with dates?
