Well, we took the plunge. Yesterday we decided to get a pet and after walking around the pet store and then visiting the local dog rescue shelter camping in the store we decided to get a dog. Penelope has been asking for a pet for quite a while. She's asked for a turtle, chameleon, bunny rabbit, fish, and even a pet snail. So after some deliberation our family of 4 is now a family of 5 with our addition of Lucy. Lucy is a catahoula, which is kind of like a hound dog. She will be a medium size dog. Right now she is the size between Austyn and Penelope. She is about 5 months old now. So she will get bigger but not too much (or so I was told). All the kids are very excited about our new addition. Penelope the most, obviously. Russ is completely embracing the idea of having a dog again. And I am looking forward to the running partner. She is going to be a great dog for that.
This I guess is the start of Blogopictionary for the month of May. I plan to take pictures everyday and post them up here for a month. What better way to start then Lucy.
