You were beyond happy in your relationship with Hope, and you were ready to take the next step. The two of you had been dating for the past four years, and it was the happiest time of your life. You lived together and got to see her every night when you went to sleep and every morning when you awoke- other than if work got in the way as it did often. Everything was perfect, and you were certain that this important life decision was something you wanted with her. It was the next step to truly unite the two of you and add a new member to the family.

That's how you ended up at the dog shelter.

The two of your looked at all the cute animals that were in their separated segments, all pleading with you to come home. If you could, you'd have taken every single of them home, but it was unrealistic, and Hope would have said it was an unreasonable desire. Nevertheless, you were going to leave this place with a dog, the main question though was which. Your fingers were laced together as you looked at all the happy creatures to find the one that would fit your family.

As soon as you saw the creature, your heart swelled, a gasp escaping your lips. As you gasped, Hope did too.

"She's so adorable," you squealed running over to the glass separating you from the cutest corgi you had ever seen.

"She is," Hope said softly.

You turned to your side to speak to your girlfriend, but she wasn't there. She was stood behind you, looking into the pen of a St Bernard. You cocked your eyebrow. By no means was the dog not cute but it wasn't the corgi your heart had fallen for.

"Not her," you frowned.

Hope turned to you, seeing the corgi you had fallen in love with.

"The St Bernard is a lot cuter than the Corgi," she stated firmly.

"Liar," you retorted.

The two dogs stared on at the two of you as you bickered about which dog you would get. You both had valid points, not particularly extending past, this one is adorable, but neither of you were about to give when it came to your opinions.

It ended well though. Even though you bickered about which pet to get, you ended up both being happy. As you pulled away in your car from the dog shelter, Bonnie the Corgi and Hollie the St Bernard were curled up in the back seat, happy to both be coming home with you.
