    Canidae - Gina Marie Dogspotting Society March 20 at 8:11 PM O ... Dad two years ago: "I swear to god Gina, I'll kill you if you get a dog. I don't want a dog. They're too much work. DON'T GET A DOG." Dad today after walking less than a half of a mile: "Shes tired. Her legs are small." Me: "She's fine dad. She's a dog." Dad: "But her legs, they're so small. I'm just going to carry her the rest of the way home" Edit: her name is Belle! Like the princess. Fitting, I know.
