When I was growing up, I had a dog. At least from 8 years old on anyhow. I bought a dog when I when I was struggling with infertility and it has now been 10 years at least that I haven't had one.
I know S16 has wanted one and you would think with a house full of kids and 2 ferrets and 2 cats, I wouldn't even go there. However I have been thinking about it for a couple of months and so this past Saturday I hopped in the car with the boys and said, let's go look at the shelter. Just as we headed out, an add for the shelter came on the radio. they were giving a discount over this weekend for those adopting pets.
S19 knows that I believe in signs. He pipes up, "Mom it is a sign. We are meant to get a dog!" I laughed at him but agreed it was a bit odd with the timing.
After we get there, we spot a litter of 8 week old puppies. they were Westie mix(mixed with a lab, I think!!) Anyway about a half hour later and the three of us in love with him, we adopted Cooper. Merry Christmas everyone. I will post a pick soon on the alt. His eyes will melt your heart.
