A New Addition to the Family

No, the baby did not come early!!!!

But we have adopted a doggie.  My sister’s doggie to be exact.

If you’ve been around for a while you know that he’s not the best behaved doggie on the planet.  He likes to eat baby toys and pacifiers and then needs $3000 worth of surgery.  Yikes!  But my sister was going to give him away and I just couldn’t bare to see him go.  So, hubs and I decided to bring him to live with us.

Yes, I know, we are crazy.

I mean, we will have a baby shortly and many toys and pacifiers will be laying around here too.  I am just a sucker when it comes to dogs and we’re keeping our fingers crossed that with some regular exercise and attention he’ll reform.  We may also spring for some additional obedience classes.  You can never have too much training, right?  Currently he knows how to sit.  Alright, so he needs some work.  We’ll do the best we can though and hopefully it will all work out.

Or we’ll cry ourselves to sleep every night.

Today is his first day with us.  I picked him up this morning and brought all his goodies to our house.  He’s a bit confused and wanders around every once in a while.  The real test will be leaving him home alone tomorrow while hubs and I are at work.  We plan to keep him in the kitchen because it’s tiled floor and can easily be gated off.  However, he’s enjoying sleeping in our bedroom right now.

And drooling all over the floor!

 

Do you have any pets?

Have they ever eaten anything and needed surgery?

How have your pets and kids mixed (if you have kids)?
