Puppy Love

My kids REALLY want a pet. Savannah will tell you, however, "My dad is allergic to cats & we can't have a dog until my mom is done having babies." Yep.

Until then, I'm thankful to have discovered our newest local pet store that invites the children to play with their puppies.

Savannah, Will & Lila fell in love with this little guy. I feel pretty good about driving the kids out to see their "new pet" anytime they want...easier, cheaper & cleaner than bringing him home :)

Seriously - that is brilliant.

You are so smart!! Wish I could have gotten away with that, but it was Brad who wanted (and got) the dog. Oh well...

That is a cute dog! We can't go to pet stores or we will take all the dogs home with us! Just cave in already!

Basically, you need to take the dog home. Or bring the puppy to me - Oscar needs a friend ;-) If that's a Schnauzer, they make great pets...just sayin'

That sounds to me like a ploy to get you and your kids to fall in love with a puppy. I imagine it's really hard for some people to say "no" after seeing their cute kids with a cute puppy.

Great idea!! That's more my style!

Hey I was wondering if you can email me your parents address? My mom was also wondering if you, or your mom, might have Dave and Diane Kroutils address. My sister is getting married in a few months, and my mom wants to send them announcements!

If you get a chance, could you email me them at: janabrookes@yahoo.com

Thanks!

Isn't that place the best? We need to meet up there and hang out. It's so fun and best of all you get to leave the pups there. :)I have the exact same philosophy on pets and Marc too is allergic to cats. I promised Savvy she could have a dog when she's 10. :)

Ok, where is this? I've looked and looked for a pet store with actual pets--I mean more than fish and birds and haven't found one. Will you email it to me?
