A 'Mels' Best Friend

So lately I've been contemplating and drawing lists of all the possible 18th birthday gifts I could ask for from my family, after all it is my big 18th right?
And I finally decided on what I want...

It's got four legs
Comes in two genders
Occasionally referred to as a 'bitch'
And barks...

Yup that's right folks... I want a DOG!
It's something that I've actually been wanting for a while but my mother who hates all things that aren't human, despised the idea all along. But now considering it's my 18th birthday and on my birthday it also happens to be my year 12 Graduation and formal... I think I pretty much hit a triple-whammy and can almost ask for anything I want.
So my considerate mom has given in and agreed to a dog. There are conditions however (as always with Indian parents)...
The dog must be friendly ('cause apparently people tend to look for aggressive dogs *note the sarcastic overtone*)
The dog must be kept outside the house at all times
I must feed, clean & care for the dog at all times (regardless of if I'm on my death bed or likewise)
And the dog must be sizeable and appropriate to my mother's standards... which basically means it must literally be the size of her thumbnail as she fears big dogs!

Other than that I'm free to do whatever! :)
So I've decided what dog I want... It shall be a Golden Retriever!
I know, they tend to grow large but I reckon they're friendly cute dogs which I strongly believe my mom could actually grow to like!
Now the hard part is deciding a name for my future dog.
I've devised a list, however I think I like all the names so I'm stuck all over again.
Ollie (Oliver)
Coco
Hector
Boots
Hero
Meemo
Niko
Pebbles
Gatsby
Bingo
Buddy
Elmo
Oscar
Galileo
Kibbles
Nugget
Oreo
Polo
Picasso
Pickles
Bullet

Long list right? Yup... each and every one of those names excite me!
Oh well crunch on it for a while bloggers and maybe in a week or so I will have decided or at least cut down the list to possibly 3 preferences :)
Till next time, 'cause my hand is sore from typing now.... Keep cleans folks!
