My friend taught me a lesson today. She phoned to tell me she was getting a dog. “Dogs are a lot of work Marie-eve,” I cautioned her. “Oh, don’t be that guy! Not you!”
My friend is a practical and intelligent woman, who hardly needs me to tell her that a puppy is a lot of work. I reached into my self important bag of wisdom and handed her what any fool could, advise that was both unwanted and pointless. I was taught an expression years ago by someone I no doubt offered similar counseling to, “Don’t stomp on my party.”
Dreams are not always practical, but they should never be judged on that quality anyway. My friend shared her news hoping for love, support, and maybe a little enthusiasm. I hope she had good reason to expect these things from me. The next time I get a chance, I’m going to be that guy.

She did get the dog, and informs me that he is the love her life. They are pictured above, and make a fine looking couple.
I LOVE this post. And, by the way, you are usually that guy.
