Mickey and Poppy

When I first started college about a month and a half ago, I talked a lot about my homesickness in various places online, including here.  As time has gone on my homesickness has got a lot better.  I still miss home sometimes, but I'm enjoying school now and being here at college.  Still, I realized that there was one thing I never really talked about when I was talking about my homesickness.  I mentioned my family and friends quite a lot, but I never really mentioned my pets.

If you follow me pretty much anywhere online, you may have heard me mention my family's two dogs from time to time.  (They've even appeared in a couple of my Youtube videos.)  For those who don't know, my family has two brussels griffons named Mickey and Poppy.  I haven't seen them since August, and I really do miss them.  It wasn't the type of missing them where I really noticed it at first.  When my homesickness was bad, I would sit there crying about being away from family and friends, but I never really thought about the dogs.  Now that my homesickness isn't making me sit in my room and cry anymore, I'm starting to think more about other things I miss, and one of those things is Mickey and Poppy.

They are seriously two of the cutest dogs ever (even though Poppy isn't necessarily the conventional form of cute), and I miss them both a lot.  I can't wait to see them both when I go home in October!
