windreader let there be dog

Astrid

Oh my god I want this dog.... so very, very badly.
Anyone want to help me out here?
The thing is that my mother won't let me keep her at home until I get to move into my cabin thingy. This is making my life difficult, as I'm not sure where else I could possibly keep her. I have this theory that Brigitte might help me out here, but she's not at home and/or can't answer the phone. I'm trying really hard to think of another place and all I can come up with is Katherine's (which might happen if I cause her parents to fall in love with Astrid), or maybe Brigid's parents' place, which means she'd need to get along with Guthrie. I really don't want to traumatise the girl by putting her out basically all alone for several weeks... And I want to adopt her so bad.

Scroll down, it's alphabetical.
If anyone comes up with another idea for me and this dog I would highly appreciate the input.

Now, quick change of topic
I'm fairly sure that Larissa (Alex's mom) thinks that I cut myself on the leg on purpose. Y'see I managed to do a number on my leg with my razor... think avulsion, removal of impressive amounts of skin all in one go. Hurts a lot and won't stop juicing, but it's not infected, it's just having a really hard time figuring out how to build a scab on such a large area. It's icky. I'm scared of Larissa again, and just when I was getting over that.
