I hadn't realized how much I missed having a dog. When Mieke died the boys were so small that the idea of adding a puppy into the chaos was enough to push me over. But lately I've missed having a dog. The boys are older and they wanted a pet. Heck, I'm older and I want a pet too!
So when a coworker's sister's dog had puppies I knew it was perfect timing.
"The boys are ready for a dog. The boys want a dog. A dog teaches
responsibility." These were things I rehearsed in my head to convince
the Mr that adding a puppy to our family made sense. I was prepared! I was ready to fight for a dog.
So much for being prepared. I sent my husband a picture of the puppy and said Puppy?
He responded with "cute dog. Sure."
So just like that, it was decided. She's half Australian Shepard/half Chocolate Lab. Someone told me that kind of dog is called a Sheprador. We always called them mutts. No matter what she is, she's adorable.
We had to wait a few weeks, but we brought her home this weekend.
The boys love her. I love her. Mr loves her.
Welcome to the chaos Scout! We're happy to have you in our family.
