today i got a hickey (do they still call them that?) at work, no less. i haven't had one of those in many years. it was given to me by the new man in my life. i didn't think it was possible to fall in love so quick but this fellow has my heart for sure. hes a keeper, absolutely a keeper. i don't even know his name (shame on me) but i will soon enough. i was in the corner of the room and he was nuzzling on my neck and it tickled but i left him go at it. i sat down on a chair and he put his head on my chest and my heart beat seemed to put him in a trance almost. he worked his way back up to my neck and that was when i got the hickey (evidentally). my co workers noticed it immediately and i ran in the bathroom to see if indeed it was there and IT WAS, a small red spot. so who is this mystery fellow in my life that can't do without? it's my new puppy i bought today. i absolutely fell in love with this little guy from the first moment he was put in my arms. i don't know what i'm going to do for three weeks til he can come home with me. for those of you who follow my blogs you know that i currently live in a violent home life. it has quiet times and very bad times. it's quiet time right now. i cannot leave right now for financial reasons but am working on it (even as we speak). and for those cynical people out there that are saying "she should'nt be buying a dog". kiss my ass. i haven't had anything to share my life with in so long i forgot what it was to feel anything. i need something in this house to come home to and talk to and share my day with and to snuggle with at night and laugh with and to just feel emotions with. i need a human being you are saying?  you don't think i know this ? but for the duration this puppy will be my love. he will be my love in this house. he will be my traveling companion, my confidante, my companion, my best friend and he doesn't know it but hes going to be my savior. now for anyone reading this i have a favor to ask you. what do i name this sweetheart? please leave me some suggestions and i will choose from those names. it will mean the world to me to have help from my friends here on thoughts.com. i see so many unusual names and there is such a gigantic array of knowledge here that you would know different names. i don't want names like spike, skippy, mutt or jeff. i want something he will wear with pride and that will mean something special. he is a chihuahua (spelling is most likely wrong) and has a salt and pepper body with black markings on his little head. he has black also across his nose. help me give him a name that is worthy of him even if he has to grow into it. thank you so much. i am so happy right now. peace and harmony
