So no more babies, what about a dog? Anyone who knows this family, knows how awful of a track record we have with pets of any kind. Here’s the thing, I can justify it 9 ways from Sunday, but I love dogs. I like cats, sure, but I LOVE DOGS.

So Kyra, Tyler and I went for a long drive yesterday and came home with a new baby. An 11 week old Collie puppy to be named later. The glorious part? The breeder said we could take it for a couple of weeks and see if it works out.

We spent the night with the dog gated in the kitchen. Already, that’s different from our former mistakes. Can I just say, no accidents…This dog is a genius! He’s calm and docile and so nice. Tyler loves taking the dogs toy and giving it back. No caos!

Of course this could all go south, but what if it doesn’t? We got a dog!
