I'll Go Wherever You Will Go

Our Week With Nugget

Last week was a big week for Brad and me. It was the closest we came to having a dog. Our friends Christie and Daniel went out of town so we were able to dog sit their Morkie, Nugget.

Meet Nugget

I've been asking Brad for a puppy pretty much the entire time we've been married...to no avail. And when Christie asked us to dog sit, I knew that this was my chance (and Nugget's) to prove that having a puppy is totally worth it. After all was said and done, Nugget ended up really helping my case.

From the beginning to the end of the week, Brad's thoughts went a little something like this.

• Jule, we're not getting a dog
• Okay, I like Nugget
• Nugget is a cool dog
• Okay, I really like Nugget
• If we could keep Nugget, I wouldn't mind having a dog
• I don't want Nugget to leave 
• I miss Nugget 

It didn't take long for Brad and me to come up with Nugget's theme song,  "Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling. This was spot on because Nuggs followed us literally everywhere in our apartment. 

Let's take a look at our week with Nugget.

This face was the reason why she got about 3 walks on average each day

Nugget in a car wash. She looks happy here, but I have about 15 scratches on my legs to prove that she didn't like the actual car wash

Nugget getting peeved that we weren't playing with her chicken with her

She would just keep dropping the chicken in front of you until you played with her.

Nugget wondering why Brad isn't playing with her 

By the end of the week, I got verbal confirmation from Brad that as soon as we can find a place that we don't have to pay rent for a dog, I can get one. Thanks Nugget!!!
