Dear Tessa Marie

It's been a while since my last post. Things have been a little busy and hectic lately.

Today I want to discuss this little girl, who I fondly call Tessa Bear. She drives me insane yet makes me immeasurably happy. She is 8 months old, about 9 pounds total, and a good 3 feet long. Sometimes I wouldn't mind dangling her off the balcony to teach her a lesson, but at other times she is right there when I need her. I've never met another puppy who has as much personality as her. In her mind she is the boss and she will tell you so. If she's mad at me for something she'll literally leave her mark, and she does what she wants when she feels like it. Not all of that is a good thing. Someone is in desperate need of some training, but despite her flaws and despite mine, we love each other. I have never met a better cuddling partner. And she has this adorable puppy smell that sometimes I just breath in again and again. She has a crazy fascination with water, and I mean crazy. She wants to eat it, tame it, kill it, she'll chase it, bark at it, and on and on. She's my girl, and I love her. I'm so glad she's in my life, I don't know what I would do without her.
