For my 20th birthday in October my parents gave me this:
Her name is Bella, and I cannot describe the amount of joy she brings into my life. I really wanted a dog, but I had no idea that I would absolutely fall in love with this little crazy ball of fur. If you are floundering in life and have the money (the vet visits are pricey), I highly recommend rescuing a dog :)
More to come in 2010 :)
