I'm a huge animal lover. I always have been. I enjoy visiting cute animal sites and blogs like Cute Overload<\/a> . Sometimes when I'm feeling down, these sorts of sites can bring me right back up again. This was the case the other day when I had an argument with my boyfriend. It wasn't anything major, just a normal couples thing, but for a short time, I felt the accompanying upset and stress.<\/p>\n

So I turned to Daily Puppy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I had only been to the site once or twice before, so I obviously hadn't seen the overwhelming majority of the entries before. I browsed through the cute pictures of several puppies. Little by little, I started to feel better. Jack russell terriers, samoyeds, pomeranian mixes – all had begun to help ease the stress and make me calmer. And then I saw him. His name is Teddy<\/a> and he's a daschund.<\/p>\n

It was puppy love at first sight.<\/p>\n

One look at those eyes<\/a> and it was over for me. <\/p>\n

As for the reason I was upset, it's mostly resolved. Plus, in the greater scope of things, it's very trivial.  Once Teddy had made me feel a bit better, I was in a better position to relax and begin to put it behind me. <\/p>\n

I showed Teddy to my boyfriend afterward and he found him just as charming. He found those eyes to be quite pretty too. I  can't wait until I can have my own dog someday. It's something I've been waiting many years for. But the day when it will happen is closer than ever. And maybe I will have my own dog's pretty eyes to look into when I need comfort in the future. But for now, I've got Teddy bookmarked.<\/p>\n
