Doggy bags

Was pondering over whether to get this game tonight.

Nintendogs.... it's all the rage in Japan. Essentially, it's a glorified Tamagotchi (for those old enough to remember that phase). You can train your puppy to perform tricks upon voice commands, play with it, pat it etc etc. So tempting, but it's 310 bucks down the drain (250 bucks for the DS system and 55 buck s for the game). Can I help it though if i'm a sucker for puppies?

I've always wanted dogs, but circumstances always conspired to prevent that. Childhood allergies to dog fur, Singapore's restrictions upon dog sizes in HDB flats. You get the idea.

But i've always been more of a dog person than a cat person. So if and when we move out of our current HDB flat, you can bet that we will be getting a dog (allergies be damned!)

Thankfully, H is a dog person too, although we have slightly different opinions about which breed to get. We eventually settled on pugs, bulldogs, or frenchies. (I flatly refused when it came to rottweilers, and H thought Golden Retrievers were dumb). Why bulldogs? Most people think that they are ugly, whereas I tend to find their features uniquely cute. Don't ask me why. It's probably the same reason I hate vegetables and refuse to eat egg, even in fried carrot cake. :P
If you really pressed me, I might say that it's because they are compact, supposedly loyal, and because their squashed features just seem to fit so well with the way their body is shaped.

Vegetables, eggs... blech. But that's a story for another day.
