For my birthday in 2012, Branden took me to the ballet with my family. It was a blast going to see the Little Mermaid (one of my favorites as a kid). When the evening had calmed down and we got home, he handed me a small present. It was pretty obvious to me that it was jewelry. I was excited. When I opened it, I pulled out a small red collar. I mean, I guess it is like jewelry, just not something for me to wear. Branden told me that he was giving me a puppy, and that I needed to pick one out.
I searched and searched on KSL for days. And, by Friday, I found a cute little pup up in Idaho. He was 9 months old (so still cute, but potty-trained). We picked him up that weekend. He's a Maltese, though I suspect he may not be pure-bred. (No... that brown and grey fur up there isn't his, but he has very blond ears) In any case, he makes me smile every day and was the best birthday present that I have ever gotten.
