I used to have a coworker that I really liked a lot but now she is dead to me because she sent me to the craigslist posting for this beagle/pointer mix named Patch.

I want a dog. I really really really want a dog. And Patch looks pretty much ideal.  But, I just can’t have a dog in my life right now because I know I don’t have the time to commit to a pet, especially a very young, not-neutered, beagle-mix.  Maybe if I was living with someone that could share the responsibility, then I’d be able to give it more serious consideration, but that’s not the situation.  I hope whomever adopts Patch gives him the best life any dog could ever hope for.

And so, I used to have a coworker that I really liked a lot, but now she’s dead to me.
