Today I had a couple of extra kids around. My niece Paige and nephew Noah. When you get additions to the house, it is a great thing. The kids stop fighting and all of a sudden a house that was so boring became so active. They played all day non stop. Summer days of sunshine are very few and they must be cherished at every moment. After supper, we ventured into the pet store to gaze at all the animals. The kids talked about what it would be like to own bunnies, rabbits, birds, fish and another dog. They pulled out the cutest little dashound cross to play with. Kate and Paige named her Solider girl. Noah and Billie called her cocoa... As the oohs and ahhs went on I knew the next question.. Can we keep her? So I did some day dreaming about what that would look like. A puppy is like having a newborn, cries in the night, pees on the floor and doesn’t listen. I am a single mom and the thought of one more thing in this house that has lost their capabilities to hear me would send me over the edge. That puppy was cute, but not worth my sanity or the $1100.00 price tag. When did dogs get so expensive?
