Television
channels that were originally dedicated to promoting and playing music have
been the source of endless jokes here in Canada because of their lacklustre attempts to meet their mission statement over the past few years. I have been a
champion of knocking MuchMusic, CMT and the like for allowing YouTube to
takeover the music video scene. It all started so innocent with spinoff shows
that were relevant to music and then these channels just gave up and started
airing shows that have no business on airwaves that should be representing a
genre of music.
I
could rant about this all day, but this blog is a little bit of an apology to
the CMT network. On top of being a little critical of our Canadian music
television channels for checking out of the music game for a majority of the
day, I had been especially hard on the CMT network for their television show
“Pick A Puppy”. I still think it is crazy that there is an entire television show
dedicated to families picking out their dream puppy, but after a couple of
weeks with free reign to pick my own puppy I have come to the conclusion it is
much more difficult than I originally thought.
My
afternoons have been spent visiting my Grandmother’s ten new additions to the
family and I have been having an impossible time deciding on the puppy I want
to bring home forever. We have it narrowed down to three but time is ticking
down. People have begun visiting and claiming their own new little furry
friends and I feel a little hopeless. Boy? Girl? Who knows! It is between two
big boys and the tiniest little girl. One of the boys is a little bear who can
fall asleep anywhere. The other boy we have named Ruxin, he is slightly whiny
and has a white tuft on his stomach. The smallest girl is adorable. She does
her own thing and is never with the other puppies (they kind of pick on here).
My grandmother babied her to ensure she received enough food during the first
few weeks; she is still small but she is incredibly feisty. I call her Gadget
and I think she might be my favourite.
I
have no idea how this is going to turn out. Will we end up with a big, lazy boy
or a small energetic girl? Will they all end up massive black labs in the end?
One more time, who knows?
We
will see in the next couple of weeks! I am so excited to bring our little
lad/lass home and baby the crap out of them!
My indecisiveness
can be summed up in less than 500 words and I have been spending hours each
week with these puppies. I maintain that there is no reason to have an entire
television show devoted to the puppy picking process.
