this is my dog colt. actually this is my boyfriend's dog but i claim him now as well. i think colt loves me more anyway... just kidding (sort of). anyway his name is colt and he is a rather...er... voluptuous border collie. i, however, have several nicknames for him. they are:
colty
nolty
smolty
smolt
colt mccoy
colty mcnolty
stinker
stink dog
stink butt
stink
butt
mister
mister stink
and he answers to all of them! he is a very lovable, goofy, and strange dog and i cannot imagine life without. i never had any pets growing up besides fast fred, our turtle that my brother had when we were in high school. fred was cute in the way that turtles can be cute and i remember certain things about him before my brother sold him to buy video games. these certain things are how once we fed him oranges he refused to eat anything else. how we would leave him on the kitchen table and forget about him until we would hear a loud clunk and see his shell swiveling on the floor. i would take naps with fred sometimes... like i could pretend he was a soft kitten or something... and how i would wake up by him poking my eyeballs with his head.
colt is soft and sweet and like a child to me and its hard to believe how much i love him. isn't it funny how much we love our pets? i would like to get a cat someday. i had always imagined myself with my own apartment with a nice old cat but i skipped this step when i moved in with chris and moved out of my townhouse with my roommates. but it is still in the life plan to get a cat so maybe this fall we will adopt one. chris says this is a terrible idea, that i want to adopt a "dying" cat, and why would we get a cat when we could get another dog. but i can see it now... we'll get the cat and she (or he but we'll go with she) will stay home with chris while he works/plays video games all day and curl up on his lap and purr and they will become the best of friends and she'll want nothing to do with me. but yes. we'll get a cat someday.
