I really want a dog, and I just can't stop thinking about it lately. I've wanted one for a long time, but have been feeling responsible by putting off the responsibility of owning my own pet.
Well, I already have Hampton the Fire-bellied toad, of course--But let's face it, ever since Mary Lou escaped to her death, he just hasn't been the same. I try to take him on walks, but he refuses his tiny leash. I tell him to go for a scenic drive, but his eyes just don't sparkle when he drives his mini mustang anymore. He refuses to wear any clothes whatsoever. Even when we play frisbee in the park, he just lets the frisbee land right on top of him.
Hopefully getting us a dog would lift his spirits. The romance wouldn't be there like it was with Mary Lou (slut) of course, but at least it would get him out of the terrarium once in a while.
I want to get a small dog, because I know there's no way Hampton would be able to control a larger dog if he decides to walk it himself. Also, I want a little snuggle buddy--one that I don't have to worry about smooshing, stepping on, or finding dried up like frog jerky if he leaves the terrarium. Not that I would keep the dog in the terrarium. Well, it's a nice place. There's a tiny pool and a rock wall that provides fantastic hiding places. I just think that Hampton would appreciate his own space as he continues to mourn Mary Lou.
And it doesn't have to be a full bred dog. I, myself, am not full bred. So since I'm not a hypocrite, I will insist on finding a dog that is half white and half Puerto Rican like myself.
So does anyone know where I can find a small, half white/half puerto rican dog that is frog-friendly and well hydrated? Oh and any knowledge of Adobe Photoshop would be a huge plus.

Petfinder.com is pretty good and will search all of the local shelters and organizations. Many of them have notes about whether the dog is dog friendly, cat friendly, kid friendly, etc.
Thanks, Ward! What a serious comment to that silly blog post. But thank you, I'll check it out! :)
Hello Mary Lou Good bye Heart...sad what happened to the poor thing? My suggestion for a dog would be a pug. They look just like a frog and they could have little frugs. LOL
Whatever you're on give me some...
Ciao darling
Mary Lou was the victim of what is commonly known as "owner irresponsibility." Her owner (and I shall remain nameless) left the lid off of her terrarium after changing the water. She escaped and I didn't find her again until she was dried up and crispy. Oops! Hampton still won't talk to me.
Oh I do love pugs! They're always so confused and unstable like a furry newborn baby.
:)
I'm not sure how many dogs are frog friendly. But, given the fact that my three dogs will eat anything moving that small, I'm not a good one to ask. Good luck.
Dude. I'm stepping in here with a small intervention. I think we need to get you some human contact. I'm here for you. Either way, your blog is friggin hilarious. Rock on...
