My little Angus is growing up.

Ok, so Im feeling especially nostalgic with my little angus. So, I'll share his story. Angus may be the only redheaded child I ever get, and hes extremely special to me. Has been from day one. When he came barrelling into my heart, with all of his 2.4lbs, I was a goner. Complete mental block. I couldve cried when I saw him in that tote, with the dirty newspaper. He was so cold, and almost dead. The "owner" wouldnt spend any money on him and preferred euthanasia. I couldnt hash it. I went in there with my heart on my sleeve, and begged for Angus' life. He (the "owner") relented and I had my little emaciated puppy. No more than 5 seconds after we gave him the Karo syrup, he wagged his tail and barked (a little half bark, mind you) at me. Hooked. Completely and utterly. I would've done whatever it took at that point to make him well. I am a freak. I wouldnt let myself believe he was going to live, in case he didnt. I was constantly checking his breathing while he was asleep. I made him take naps with me to ensure I could keep my hand on his heart (logically though, if it stopped, I woulda been asleep). I am completely irrational when it comes to him. I stopped taking him with me to work because I wanted to fight people who even sarcastically said bad things. Angus is my little man. He brings out mama bear. Now, I believe its safe to say he will live normally. I can start getting attached. Anyway, Angus was especially cuddly tonight, and it made me remember how special he was, and is. Musta been his birthday present to his mama :) He climbed up on the bed, smelling like fish worms and dirty pool water, and snuggled with me for a while. Then, he was over it, and went on to harrass the cat some. Its hard to believe Ive already had him 8 months! Time has FLOWN by. When I look back at the pictures where he was nothing but an enormous head, it seems unreal! But, hes still adorable :) Thats all. Sorry if this was immensely boring, but it made me happy.
