This is Bingley (in his Halloween costume)! He's a schnoodle, and he is a little under 5 months old now. While a lot of people thought that getting a dog might be a bad idea during my first semester of 1L, I just couldn't help myself. I was lonely and I reeeeeeally wanted one.
Plus I live RIGHT across the street from campus. If I didn't there is no way that I would have gotten a puppy. It wouldn't have been fair. But as it is, and as you can see from my last post, I am home A LOT, so I feel like Bingley gets plenty of love and attention.
And he's a great distraction and outlet for when the sheer amount of work that I have seems to be too much...he always cheers me right up! Right now we're working on getting 100% potty trained (he's at, like, 88% now), and basic obedience commands. He knows sit, down, off, roll over, paw (shake), and jump. But he's a puppy, so he gets distracted.
If you're in law school and considering getting a dog, please consider whether you live close enough to be able to go home and give your dog the interaction that he deserves. Most of my friends stay on campus ALL day, at least 7 hours, and that's just too long to be away from a puppy (or dog of any age, unless you have a backyard). But if you're a dog lover and can give (or make) the time for a furry friend, I recommend having a pet...they make life so much better!
you missed a OWLS dog\children halloween get together at White Rock lake yesterday afternoon. I think they are planning on having one in month or so.
