This is a VERY big deal

This is Annie, our VERY coddled dog.

This is also a VERY big day for me. I'm about to do something VERY big. 

So back in '07, our family got Annie because Jane wrote a paper entitled "A Plea for a Puppy."  

Somehow, my parents gave in. Weird, they never give into Jane. 

Anyway....I HATED Annie. I hated her. I don't think anyone has hated getting a family pet as much as I did. I couldn't even look at her. 

I'm still trying to decide if it is because I was semi scared of her, or that we got her because of Jane, or because we didn't name her Sammy like I wanted to (dog on Parent Trap), or I just didn't like the idea of us having a pet. Whatever the way, I really disliked her. 

The key to all of this, is that its in past tense. I used to hate her. I don't anymore. 

And that is the VERY big thing. 

I'm publically admitting that I like Annie. I do.

Heck, I walk her almost daily. 

I even touch her willingly. And apparently she makes me look kind of drunk.

 I came around. Sue me.
