Declaration of Dog-Dependence

We The People, In Order to Gush About More Furry Creatures...

Three years ago today, John and I did a very daft thing. We set out from the two-bedroom apartment where we were temporarily living until we closed on our house and took a two-hour drive to western Maryland, near the West Virginia border. A few hours later, we returned to the beige box we called "home" with seven pounds of attitude and fluff:

Looked at objectively, it is an act of purest insanity to get an animal when your life is in flux. It was also not particularly fair to the cats who were also going through trauma from having been forcibly relocated. But we did persist in our madness, and harmony more or less reigned from the outset.

So, happy third anniversary of your adoption, MacIntosh. Today we redeclare our dog-dependence.
