Vacation Time

This week my parents are on vacation in Ohio to visit with family, which means I have the pleasure of being Samson's caretaker. Taking care of a puppy full time is definitely a challenge at times, but it has been helpful because some day I plan to have a dog of my own. I've had to sleep in my parents' room so he wouldn't get lonely and cry at night. I'm very thankful he let me sleep in the past couple of mornings. :)  He can be crazy, wild, and even mean at times, but we've also had plenty of times where we relaxed and cuddled on the couch. I hate how often I have to keep him in his crate, but it's unavoidable when my brother refuses to let him out while he's home. Luckily, I don't go anywhere too terribly often. I suppose it's a good thing for Samson that I don't have a very exciting life. Anyway...this week has been a trial and a blessing. I think I'm ready for my parents to come back though. I'm not sure I'm really ready to have full responsibility for a puppy just yet.
