Those of you who know me/my life know that I've had Theo (aka little monster) for just over 3 weeks now. Having him, raising him - it's already been a completely unique journey. It's definitely one I'll always remember! As I think over the last 3 weeks, it's ups and downs, successes and opportunities to try again, I realize that this has already been a learning experience. I remember, after a few days of having little monster, my dad called me one evening. (Note: Father, while a big fan of the canines, is not a big fan of his less-than-rich, recent-college-graduate daughter getting a more-than-cheap puppy. I think he softened a little once they met, though. Father's a bit of a teddy bear, and Theo will melt your heart. :) ) As he inquired about my "son," he asked me, "So, are you teaching him or is he teaching you?" After thinking awhile (I don't take questions that have the potential to be philosophical lightly), I responded, "I think we're teaching each other."
I've come to realize more and more how true that is, and I'm excited to learn what else that statement will mean. So, tune in if you like, and I'll try to share what this life of raising the cutest puppy ever (no, seriously, he is) is teaching me.
