Well, we have finally done it....we've adopted a dog! Our crazy two cat household has now turned into a crazy two cat and one dog house! To quote one of Sean's friends "You're house is a now an animal zoo". :)
The kids have wanted a dog forever and we promised them that when we had a house with a big backyard and a fence, they could have a dog. Well, not only does our house have all those things, it even came with a doggie door built in the screened-in porch. As soon as the kids saw that, it was all over. They were convinced it was a sign from the heavens declaring that we HAD to get a dog.
After lots of looking online and visitng shelters and the local SPCA, we finally found the right dog for us. Her name is Emma and she is WONDERFUL. :) She is just a year old and has the sweetest face and soulful brown eyes I have ever seen. When we first met her at the shelter, she came right in and put her head on my lap and looked up at me with those brown eyes and that was it. I was hooked and so was the rest of the family. She is calm and gentle and lives to make us happy. She is the perfect fit for us becasue we have never had a dog before and she has the perfect temperment for a family of novices. We are all learning together, but Emma is very patient with us.
We love her dearly and look forward to many happy years with her as part of our family.

Very cute! We don't have a dog yet but that is because I can only handle one baby at a time!! :) That spot is occupied at the time! :) I know that we will probably get a dog eventually too! My kids really want one- I don't know why nothing is better then a cat! Congrats on the new member of your family- I bet she did steal your heart! :) Enjoy your dog!
