All three of us fell in love with a puppy for about a minute today.

Okay, maybe it was longer than a minute.

Maybe about twenty.

It happened entirely by accident. John had been entertaining Benjamin in Petland so I could shop for birthday party favors at a store next door.

Like Murphy, she’s a pure-bred Wheaton Terrier. And as my Twitter friends were quick to point out, probably came from a puppy mill.

But. She is still a puppy.

And when I held her she cuddled right up into my chest.

Can’t even believe this little brown fuzz ball is going to turn into a white Wheaton Terrier, like Murph.

And I can’t even believe I have gone from being sublimely indifferent to the love and emotions dogs bring to completely head over heels. I blame this guy.

Such a sucker. But I am resisting. For now. If she’s still there in three weeks, outgrowing that miserable cage – I may have to rescue her. I don’t care where she came from.

We bonded.

I am delusional right now. Daydreaming of having a household with two Wheaton Terriers, one man, and one four year old.

But, hey, we could all go to puppy mill protests together. Right? Cuddling all the way.

Take a look at this one.

Even down to his fuzzy little tail, he’s got muppet written all over him. And just when I thought I’d never see a dog that looked more like a muppet this one showed up.

Meet Fergis, Murphy’s new coffee shop buddy.

After their brief stare down, it was on.

If they were cats one of their eyeballs would have been scratched out but instead they tackled each other in a doggy death match and then they stopped and started sniffing each other.

“Dogs make friends faster than people do, that’s all,” said Fergis’ wise owner. I think it’s also because Fergis and Murphy recognized each other from a day long ago when they were both rocking it out on the piano.

Dogs or muppets? Are dogs really muppets? Or are muppets really dogs? And if muppets are dogs than what are cats?

All is well.

Working on a top secret project that should be done by late next week. It’s why I’ve been so scant via e-mail, on Twitter, on the Single Moms Forum and here on the blog. My apologies. But I know you’ll all understand when you see what it is.
