I've made a severely poor judgement call.  I thought for a moment that having the possibility of a job meant that it was ok to go to petfinder.com and do a search on young, small dogs in shelters in the Chicagoland area. 

This was a bad idea.

First the search turned up Benjamin, a shiba inu/terrier mix someone found camping out in a construction sight.  I cannot adopt Benjamin because the shelter he's at limits adoptions to people at least 24 years old.  Search number two was Darren, a doofy looking white thing with a shepherd's head on a wee body.  Search three was my doom.

Meet Cody.



He's a one-year-old "Tibetan terrier" mix (did a quick Google search, and I think he MAY be slightly more Tibetan terrier than I am), and the site says he's friendly, up to date on all his shots, and already neutered.  Guys, this is a PROBLEM.  I don't have an apartment yet, and common sense is telling me that bringing another dog into my house with two other, totally nutso dogs in it already, is a BAD idea.  But I'm already thinking about how long it'll take me to drive to Deerfield on Saturday, and whether or not I should call the shelter today to make sure he'll be there if I go visit.  And I've calculated that I have enough money in the bank to cover any expenses totally comfortably until I get a regular job.  I just.  I don't know.  LOOK AT HIS LITTLE FACE.

I was DESPERETELY concerned when I looked at the shelter's website and Cody wasn't listed.  I am SO concerned about the fact that I'm already thinking about him in terms of adoption.  I knew this was something I was going to do, and it's totally my fault for beginning the search just slightly too early, but is too early by a month or two really a problem?  Gah.  I'm in trouble.
