Lessons in Saying Never

So I'm notorious for saying "I'll never...". I've always done it. Apparently I'm a bit challenged because I haven't learned that inevitably I will eat those words. Allow me to share a few of my "never" statements...

1. I'll never stay in Dahlonega after I graduate. I made this statement at least a hundred million times throughout college. It was sometime during my 4th year after graduation that I finally came to terms with the fact that I really loved living there. So much so that I stayed another 2 years for good measure.

2. I'll never have a Facebook account. Um...guilty.

3. I'll never go to the University of Georgia. Interesting. It's my enrollment at the flagship university of the state that caused me to finally up and leave Dahlonega.

4. I'll never have an inside dog. Drumroll please.....

Cash the Wonder Puppy

Ok, I know that I'm partial, but he's awesome. Cash is a chocolate Lab who is 6 weeks old. And he's totally an inside dog. Well, except for of course when we're outside playing or learning the art of pottying in a designated outdoor area. It's especially super that I live on the second floor so I'm getting quite the workout. Here are a few more pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Hmm...maybe I should've named him Pete Sampras instead.

As for his name here is the origin of it:

1. The people that I got him from have the last name of Cash.

2. Johnny is ultra cool and legendary and with any luck, this Cash will be as well.

3. I love the show Men in Trees and there is a character named Cash. (Sidenote: I'm super bummed that the show has been cancelled.)

4. I'll be forking out lots of it on him.

I'm praying that he does a whole lot of this tonight in his crate.

So my long lesson in saying never is to never say it unless you really want it to happen. My next "never" statement will be something to the effect of "I'll never drive a red Volvo SUV." Stay tuned for puppy updates!
