If you know me, it comes as no surprise that I am not a dog person. But I am a "my kids" person, and my kids have desperately wanted a dog. For a long time. We've talked about it off and on for a number of months now. Usually the conversation has gone like this:Me: Maybe we should get a dog.
Greg: No way! No, no, no, no, no! No way!
Me: You're right.
Then a couple of weeks ago, in a moment of supreme weakness, it went like this:
Greg: Maybe we should get a dog.
Me: Really?
Greg: I'm just thinking about it. Just thinking!
Me: OK.
Then last week we did a field trip to the Dumb Friends League to let the kids see the animals and to do a little on the sly research. We came home as dog owners.
But we seem to have gotten the sweetest, calmest, most obliging dog ever. And the kids are so dang happy. Whew!

I'm kind of with you. I like living with a dog. But I don't much like taking care of a dog.
Thank God Buddy is laid back and accommodating! Can't wait to meet the little guy!
Coz I also really love visiting other people's dogs.
What a doll! He's SO cute. He does look mellow, although he's still young and will undoubtedly chew something up at some point. I love dogs - all animals really - stick with him even if he's naughty, he'll be a total love!
My kids are begging for a dog too - but Russ is definitely not ready. Maybe some day.
Just got home from the park and stumbled across this blog - and it's yours! Ha ha ha. Had a good time today. Thanks for getting together. The dog is adorable, impossible not to love him I'm sure! Amanda
