All Dogs go to Heaven...

So recently, I've been thinking about dogs. Why, you might ask?

Well, I often find myself chasing after squirrels here on campus, or collecting acorns and stashing them in my room and then carrying a few in my pocket so that when I encounter one, I have something to offer them that might actually be good for them (as opposed to the other students on campus who try to feed them things like pizza and candy bars). My conclusion: I need a pet!

"But Rachel, aren't you living in a dorm right now?" you might ask. Well, yes... but I'm thinking about getting one when I graduate in a year and a half, and I figured I ought to do some research... And I'm not entirely pet-less. I currently have a pet beta fish, Kerygma, who I got my senior year of college. He's still alive (amazingly!), but lately he has been a little slow and his appetite is waning. Things aren't looking up for him, and I fear his days are numbered.

So anyway, during the last week I've taken three or four "What Dog best suits your personalilty" type quizzes, and I've gotten all kinds of dogs:

Anatolian Shepherd Dogs, Labrador Retrievers (the most normal breed of the whole pick), Doberman Pinscher, Vizsla, Pomeranian (I hate yippy rat dogs! How did I get matched with this is beyond me!) Great Danes (not so sure I'd want a dog that's quite possibly taller than I am...) Irish setters, Boxers, .... and the lists go on and on. These are just a few highlights.

In the end, don't all dogs go to heaven? :) I guess it doesn't matter what kind of dog I get then.

Or maybe I should just volunteer at an animal shelter for a while.

Meanwhile, here are some of the cuter options from my results:
