she calls me mommy

Now, from reading this headline you may assume I have become a mother of a new born baby girl. RIGHT? notttttttt...are you kidding ? Me, at the age of 21, becoming a mother to a child. I think not. Instead I have become a mommy to a 14 week old shiba inu puppy (harlow) who is absolutely gorgeous and sweet. Aside from the occasional "pee pee" on my older sister's carpet, she is the greatest joy of my life. But, having this huge joy in my life brings great disgust because of the amount of negativity I have received from people. Some of these people I happen to share my blood with, while others I have met this summer. Either way, I could care less about the new purchases in their life. I don't care if they have purchased a horse, a tiger, or an owl for christ's sake...so why do they care what I decide to do with my life??? Its not like I am having a kid.

The conversations go a little something like this, "Hey so I got a puppy for my birthday!!"

"WHAT?! what are you going to do with a puppy during your last year of college? Where are you going to
keep it? Do you know how much money a dog costs and that it will be with you for 12-15 years?!"

But, little do they know I have much experience with dogs and raising puppies. But, even if they knew that they still do not give a damn. It makes me upset that only a few people are thrilled for me. I know harlow is the best thing that has happened to me in a VERY LONG TIME. She makes me feel content, compassionate, responsible and most of all loving. If anything, harlow my shiba, keeps me grounded. SO hah in yo face suckas. Does anyone (whoever you are reading my blog) face similar situations in their daily life? I would love to hear.

Below, I have attached a picture of the already infamous harlow.
