Meet Kiba.

The past 7 months have been amazing. Well... not really. Raising this kid from his puppy years, picking up his poo, cleaning up his pee, playing with him on Warren field, and taking him to get his shots, has all been one crazy experience.
I've been taught how to be patient, how to discipline, and most of all how to unconditionally love. Even though he's been a pain in the butt many of the time, Kiba is one awesome dog.
This quarter he's down in SD with me, and with our 6 a.m. morning runs, schedule feedings, and the constant thinking about him wherever I go feels good. I want to be able to raise him up to be good, well behaved, and so I pour out everything I have for him, money, time, efforts, energy.
I'm sure taking care of him doesn't compare to having a real child, but I think it's given me a glimpse of what it means to genuinely care about someone or something, and it makes me extremely happy.

Here's a pic of Kiba at the tide pools today!
