Anyone who knows me in the very least knows that I have a thing for animals. If I had my way (and a few hundred thousand dollars), I'd go back to school full time, get a bio degree and then go to vet school because spending the day surrounded by animals would be the best job ever. I've made Kevin promise me that someday I can have a duck. And maybe a sheep. And a miniature horse. And a dog. Or three. Oh, and more cats.
I really, really, really want a dog these days. I want a dog the way other women want a baby. It's less of a want and more than a need...it's really becoming an obsession. I see a puppy and it's hard to keep from kidnapping it. I talk to Shmouse and I ask how she's doing, then how her dog Lily's doing. If I had the space and money, I'd be at the shelter this weekend adopting at least two dogs.
Knowing this, imagine how fucking sad this commercial makes me every time it comes on:
Seriously, forget Hallmark commercials, just show me adorable dogs in a shelter to make me cry. It's gotten to the point where I just have to hear the first few strains of the music and my heart breaks. It's really just not fair.
On the good side, if that's not a good way to convince people to A) adopt shelter dogs and B) SPAY AND NEUTER, DAMN IT, then I don't know what is.

Oh, man! That commercial kills me, too. Those big pleading eyes! Rips my heart out every time!
Why are we socking every spare penny we can find into the Downpayment on a House Fund? Sure, it's good financial sense blahblahblah, but more importantly... if I can save up a few million pennies, I can have a dog!!
My puppyfever is like a sickness. I want a beagle desperately.
I weep every single fucking time David Duchovny says "I'm a good dog!". And then I hug my cats who get all "What? stop touching me and sobbing, you're freaking me out!"
