It seems we finally ran out of excuses. Yesterday we adopted a one-year-old dog named Chanel. The kids adore her and she has brought both harmony and disharmony to our home. She is a female Shih Poo, which is a shihtzu poodle mix. She came house trained with beds, blankets, toys, food, treats, and pages of instructions from a rescue home. Hundreds of applicants for Chanel were turned away, but for some reason we were not. I remarked to Ryan how the girls' snotty noses, unkempt hair, and mismatched clothes (they now like to dress themselves), must have really impressed the woman running the facility. But truly, she said it was the way the kids interacted with the dog. She could tell that they would really love her... and they do.

How exciting! Uncle B desperately wants a dog. You'll have to post some pictures so we can meet her!
LOVE THE DOG!!!!!!!!
Mother of the year! I don't know if I can ever go down the "dog road".
Congratulations on the dog!! I hope she survives longer than your parakeet :)
By the way, Noah's bird only lasted 3 months. We're not sure what happened . . . that cage must be cursed!
