being a good doggie mommy

Regular readers know that a couple of months ago, I adopted a 1 year old Pekingese mix from the pound named Bruno. Bruno has quickly become the number one man in my life, much to the amusement/chagrin of my boyfriend who likes to remind me I am not Bruno's mommy because I did not carry him in my womb. My dog is amazing and earned the top spot in my life for all the following reasons:

  • Bruno is a lover, not a fighter.
  • Bruno is a part Asian mutt, just like me. His dog DNA test says he is a mix of Pekingese, Cocker Spaniel and Poodle. I am still convinced he has Corgi in him because of his body shape, but whatever he is, he is awesomely adorable.
  • Bruno loves to eat and will enjoy anything you give him. We all know how much I hate picky eaters. Plus, Bruno can really go to town on some cupcakes, just like his mommy!
  • Bruno is also an "exercise bulimic." He loves to go running and hiking with me!
  • Bruno has charmed the entire neighborhood! People who don't even know ME know my dog! Strangers approach all the time when I'm walking him and don't even give me a cursory glance, they just stoop down and say "Hi Bruno!" He's just uber-popular like that.
Never mind that I can't stop him from chewing on the furniture when I'm not looking, Bruno is my man and I love him to death!
