Decisions, decisions...


We are considering getting a puppy.  Crazy, I know, because that is JUST what I need... something else to take care of! :-)  But, we want the girls to experience a puppy, and we think Grace might be old enough to understand and not hurt the dog.  She has really done quite well with the kittens.  One of Luke's co-workers had a litter of Australian Shepherd puppies (which is what we want), so we went over to her house to look at the puppies.  OH...MY...GOODNESS... they are the cutest little fur-balls you have ever seen.  We have narrowed it down to two puppies, both of which are blue merle Aussies.  Here is the first one with Kate.  She's a little female pup who has quite the feisty personality.  (I'm talking about the puppy... not Kate, though I guess she's a little feisty, too! ha ha)Here is our other choice, being held by Abby.  This one is a little male pup, with a sweet little lover-boy personality to match.  Look at those baby blue eyes!

Here is a photo of the Mama Dog, Miss Flash.  She is quite beautiful, and wonderfully well-behaved.  This family has four children, so the pups (and Mom, too) are all very comfortable around children (this is a BIG plus for us!)
Decisions, decisions!!  Which pup to adopt into our family?  We'll let you know as soon as we know, I guess.  The first dog that Luke and I owned together was an Aussie, so we hold a special place in our hearts for this breed.  Can't wait, though I DO dread the whole "potty training" thing... seems like we just did that with Grace! ha ha!

They are cure (all babies are!) Katie and Abby are both big enough to help with the responsibilities. What I worry about is "Who can you get to take care of all the animals when you come to see me?" Love, Mom
