I’ve had to put up with this all year
Sometimes you just put up with things. Certain things become a part of your life, and before you know it, you just can’t get rid of them. It’s almost as if destiny has decreed that you need to put up with it, and you find yourself unable, and sometimes even unwilling to act.
Some things just become a part of your life, whether you want it or not
Like Afonso.
Thanks for a great year, little guy. You’ve become a comfortable, secure, playful and happy dog, and you’ve been the perfect complement to our other dogs and to our life. We are just crazy about you, you little mutt.
P.S.: I just noticed I made it through a blog post without preaching. Let me rectify that: If you’re in the market for a dog, cat or other pet, go adopt and rescue one. You’ll be really glad you did.
P.S. II - P.S. Harder: Also, give some love to Dogs Deserve Better, Tammy Grimes’ great site where she fights against leaving dogs chained.
Now let’s leave Afonso alone in the sun for a while.

[…] It is with regret that we announce that due to a severe case of ennui, Afonso will not be live-blogging tonight’s speech by Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention. We apologize for the last-minute change of schedule. […]

I am IN LOVE with this dog!

Tobes, he is just a wonderful, loving, happy little dog. The world is a better place because of the small amount of space he takes up.

I never had a dog growing up (even though I begged). I had/have allergies. Now that I’m grown and moved away I know my mom is considering a dog. She is 100% committed to rescuing one. I hope she gets one because I think it’d bring her a lot of joy.
Best of luck to Alfonso and his severe case of boredom
