We take Niko and Mary Jane on a 'special walk' once a month where we go to this dog/horse trail here. Usually I don't pay much attention to the other dogs we run into, but today I noticed literally every other dog there was a "big dog" and for SOME STUPID REASON I felt a little self conscious over our adorable little pups. I think it's mainly because I have talked to SO many people before that make fun of tiny breed pups (shamefully- I used to be one of them.)
When I was a kid we only had big dogs, I mean; not huge. We had a Red Healer named Honey and she was one of my best friends. When Brandon and I were dating and talking about the possibility of Marriage I told him I refused to have little pups. I am a 'big dog' type of gal, and I wouldn't settle for anything less. About a year into our marriage we decided to go to an adoption fair, I remember telling Brandon "We are not going to get a dog today." As soon as we walked up to the dogs I saw the big dogs and neither of us felt like they were 'our dog' when we saw Niko, a tiny Chihuahua half Terrier we knew he was our pup. So there we were, planning on not getting a dog (let alone, a tiny dog) and we were now headed home with one.
After having Niko bug for a good little while I realized tiny dogs are seriously cool. Surprisingly, I love my tiny Niko just as much as I love Honey. Niko definitely needed a friend, and we found this gorgeous German Shepard at another adoption fair and I LOVED her, we had to stop and honestly think about our already forever friend at home. Niko is GREAT with dogs if he's gotten to know them for a good period of time. He's even BETTER with smaller breeds. My heart broke a little when we realized the German Shepard wasn't the right choice for that moment.
A few months later we found Mary Jane, a runt of the litter Pug, and she's amazing I can't imagine NOT having MJ and Niko bug. They are our pups and we could never replace them.
I get it, big breeds have some enduring qualities. They can be great guard dogs, hunting partners, outdoor pups and adventure dogs. However- Small dogs have their positives as well. Now that I have my two small breeds I am a firm believer that a dog is a dog no matter the shape, or size. A dog will love you unconditionally no matter what.
I hear people all the time that say what I used to "I would NEVER own a small dog." Well, I am here to say: Keep an open heart and mind to all/any dog. Because... You never know what fury friend is just waiting for you to give them a chance to love them forever.
Also, I HATE HATE HATE it when people say "I want a real dog, a small dog is not a real dog." Let me ask, Then what is a small dog? Some mutant alien? SMH. .
PS, in no way am I closed off to big dogs either. When we have an actual home we want a big dog, but as for now I am PERFECTLY content with my micro sized doggies.
Why I’m not mad that they are re -(re)-booting Spider-man, yet again.
A lot of people are sick of seeing Spidey’s origins, why am I not annoyed? Because I am a HUGE fan. If you’re a fan of idk.. Money, are you going to get sick of making money? I mean, maybe you will eventually. As for me I will be quite content for a long time if they decide to re-produce Spider-man every 5 years. I am never sick of watching ANYTHING Spider-Man. Sure, I wish they weren't re-making the same story of Spider-Man for the THIRD time, you've probably seen the comment “How many times must Uncle Ben die?!” ha ha well… As many times as it takes to achieve perfection I guess. ;) I wish they’d consider making a Spidey vs. Carnage film, a girl can dream right? I am super excited for this re-re-boot and I hope it’s one of those whole ‘Third times a charm’ thing. I absolutely loved the Andrew Garfield re-makes, but they were a bit cheesy; still I loved watching the movies, same with the Tobey Mcguire films, as I will with these ones I'm sure.
With this re-re-boot it's rumored they’ll be adding Spider-Man into the Avengers which I’m very most excited for. Spider-Man is one of the original Avengers and totally deserves to at least have an appearance in the films. I believe this adaption is going to blow every ones minds, and all the nay sayers/haters are going to finally be silenced. However- if it ends up being the worst adaption of all, I DON'T CARE! I'll most likely go out and buy the blue ray when it comes out and watch it every so often like all the others.
Now- for the most important part, who do I think should play Mary Jane Watson? (My favorite lead lady Spider-Man Character)
They’re looking for a younger/teenaged Spidey to take us back to his highschool days, so I think it’s only fair that they look for a younger actress as well, but either way I'll be happy; as long as they don’t make another Kirsten Dundst mistake.
My number 1 choice:
Chloë Mortez 18: I know, she does't really LOOK like a Mary Jane Watson, but the girl can act. Dye her hair red and I think you're good.
#2 Bella Thorne 17: Okay okay, Bella is not my favorite actress. Actually, everything I've seen her in (Blended, The Duff) I have not liked her acting at all, but maybe it's because she just hasn't found the 'prefect role' yet. Maybe, just maybe MJ is the one! Let's face it, for being 17 she's a major Red Headed BOMBSHELL, lord knows I sure didn't look that good at 17; that's for dang sure.
#3 Odeya Rush 17: Yeah, I don't really know much about her. I saw her on The Giver and I thought she did a pretty good job. I just needed a third gal for the running. So here ya go. ;)
PS. Shailene Woodley has said she'd be game to have a 2nd shot at being MJW, and I'm STILL not mad at that. So many people hate the idea, but I totally have faith she could pull the part off.
It's rumored that Dylan O'Brien, 23 (The Maze Runner)may be Spidey himself, and I think he is adorable. Just PLEASE make Pete NERDY this time. PS can somebody please explain to me how 23 is at all considered being a 'teen'?!
