I remember as a child wanting a dog.  I always wanted a dog.  But we lived in New York City, and I don’t blame my parents, I wouldn’t have gotten me a dog either if I was them!  Seriously, walking it in the city, and all that stuff… Come on… that’s a no brainer.  But when we moved, I knew that there was a dog coming our way.  See, we moved to the burbs, of Philly.  With a fenced in back yard and a pool and all, we were set for a dog.  

My parents loved me.  They loved me a lot.  But they still didn’t get me a dog until I was 12.  I waited.  12 whole, long years.  That was not fun.  But I waited.

What was the hardest thing that you have ever had to wait for?  What do you think about while you are waiting?                  

Let me give you a hint, the hardest thing that I’ve had to wait for has not been the dog…  What about you?
