[NAGDU] Doggie tattoos!

[Daryl Marie]

Hi, all!In celebration of my new job (YAY!) and in honour of Jenny's 5th birthday next week (WHERE has the time gone?), I've decided to take the plunge and get a tattoo of her paw print with her name inside it. :) I am excited and terrified. The big day is this Friday, and I'm kinda waffling at the irony that I've decided not to take Jenny, the inspiration for this tattoo, to the tattoo appointment with me. The reasons of this are twofold: I'm nervous enough about getting a tattoo that it just seems easier for me to NOT have to worry about Jenny and her reaction to the tattoo. Also, my husband will be meeting me there, and I wouldn't be in full control of my dog if I'm on the table and she decides to go greet him (something she's gotten better about, but still needs some work).I know it's silly... this second-guessing. I know my reasons are valid. My tattoo artist is super supportive, wanting to make things work so that Jenny can be with me, but her BEING there would be one more thing for me to worry about.
Does this make sense?I'm getting this tattoo done because I do, seriously, want to be just like Jenny when I grow up. I want to work hard, to be good at my job, but not take life too seriously. I want to state my opinions fearlessly, and love with no reservations.SO excited.Daryl
