Haha. I wish I could be a visual person, or even a poetic one! Alas, I'm very calculating and "machine-like." I'm by no means a psychiatrist or anything, but how you view yourself as, literally, different people, resembles a dissociative disorder. I'm bipolar, so I've always thought of myself as being "three" different versions of me -- the manic (fun-loving, impulsive, energetic), depressed (irritable, melancholy, distant), and the "normal" me all sandwiched together. Unlike DID, they aren't different people, they don't have different names; they're all just me ("I" instead of "us"). In a way, it resembles a dissociative disorder, but (for me) I think it's just a result of bipolar disorder.
It's probably impossible to be diagnosed with anything over the internet; my mom dragged me to a pdoc when I was in middle school, which is when I was diagnosed. However, only you can really know how you feel and think -- so if it sounds similar to your experiences, perhaps it is something you could bring up to a counselor/therapist/pdoc later in life. I thought the "Sanity Score" quiz on this site was pretty accurate, although it's certainly not a diagnostic tool. Again, it's something you can use to get a little "self-insight."

I'm not a psychologist or anything, but I think the reason I love him so much is because he provides unconditional love and is unconditionally loyal, and since I created Puppy's personality, it means that the only person I trust to never hurt me is myself. I don't know, I muse on my life when I can't sleep and this is what I come up with.

Speculation (musing, pondering, daydreaming, whatever you will) can be useful, but maybe you're asking the wrong questions. Instead of asking: "why do I love puppy?" you should ask: "why am I unable to clearly express myself to others?" For me, the answer would be something like: because it's easier to turn inwards; because I want to be independent; because I'm afraid of being hurt; because I don't want to worry anyone with my stupid problems. Being dependent on Puppy (I think) is probably the result of being unable to communicate with others for whatever reason -- YOUR reason. Why is it so hard to let others "in"? Why do you feel compelled to build up walls to barricade yourself? In an effort to create someone "unconditionally loving and loyal", does it not also say that you view others as being "faithless" and "unloving"? Why do you view the world this way? These are, of course, rhetorical questions that you can think about. Sometimes, just knowing WHY you do things or see things a certain way can be comforting.
Sorry if I'm completely off base here or anything; I just wanted to throw in my two cents.
