ten things I love about you.

Lola, although you are a pup and can't use a computer, I thought there should be a post dedicated to you and the things I love about you.

I love...

1. the way you greet us when we come home. whether we have been gone a week or an hour, you jump around frantically and claw the crap out of our shins. we love it. 

2. your underbite and the fact that it is always visible.

3. the fact that you cry every time we get in the car, even if we're taking you to the puppy park or to get pupcakes. you're a wreck without fail whenever we ride in the car. you poor little girl.

4. how you love to dress up.

5. how ferocious you think you are. you fight gophers, cats, mailmen, you name it. you think you're the biggest baddest thing to hit the neighborhood, and you're only 12 lbs.

6. what a little boy you are. you smell whenever you run around outside, like to wrestle with your dad, and are constantly making messes. i love you, you dirty little tomboy.

7. the way you have loved your daddy-o since day one. you were afraid of all men except for him...it's like you knew he was your number one man from the start.

8. the crazy way you wake us up by pouncing on us, licking our faces like they're covered in steak sauce, and then hunkering down and sleeping for another hour. it's horrible and wonderful.

9. the way I can call you lola, lolie, puppylou, rooney, rooneybear, roonapin, lolarama, lolita, bubbles, bobo, dodos, or whatever comes to my mind and you respond to them all. 

10. i love you because you are the sweetest little thing I have ever met in my entire life and can't imagine my life without your precious soul. the best $90 our family has ever spent on craigslist was spent on your little self. 

kisses babysan, love mommysan.
