I've got the fever. It's been striking several times per year for the last couple of years, and I've been able to fend it off. This time, I think I don't think I can win. I think I'm going to enter the world of dog ownership.
Today, on a whim, I decided to stop and see "my puppy". By "my puppy", I mean my ex-girlfriend's dog. This is a picture of him from just over a year and a half ago.

That cute little puppy has now grown into a handsome dog that is over 70 lbs. When I kneeled down on my knees to give him a hug, he managed to headbutt me in the jaw. Ouch!
I wonder if his mommy told him to do that?
