Since we put Harvest down, Chris and I have been discussing getting another dog. Claire loves dogs like no other. Everytime one walks by our house, she is yelling "doggie, doggie!" She stares out the window and watches them. She loves to pet any and all that she can. Because we are a little insane, we decided to bite the bullet and get a rescue dog. Her name is Sophie. She is an adorable, 10 week old black lab. Claire loves her. They chase each other and Sophie tries to steal Claire's pacis. Such fun. Last night went well, but we are all a bit tired today. Sophie started out in her kennel, but amidst the barking and crying, Chris nor I could sleep. Chris, being the push-over that he is, brought her into the bed. She nuzzled up right next to Claire and I as if we were one big litter of pups. Cute, huh? Again, a little insane. Anyway, Chris took her out at 1:00 and I took her out at 5:00. All is well and we have had no accidents to speak of. Hopefully, we can push through the tiredness & get her back in her kennel before our bed becomes too small for this rapidly expanding family.

Your comment wasn't very encouraging. I thought of Baron when we were thinking of a lab. Our biggest issue right now is her desire to chew anything and everything. Thankfully, we've been hyper-vigilent, which has kept our house intact. We're hoping this phase passes quickly. She starts doggy daycare tomorrow and Chris will be taking her to obedience classes next month. Hopefully she comes home exhausted and learns quickly. I can only imagine what that dog could do to Claire when she is full grown--she can already knock her down and she weighs 8 pounds less than Claire!
