Eddie

We are happy to announce the arrival of the newest member of our family...Eddie! We adopted Eddie from the animal shelter about three weeks ago and the boys love him. We went back and forth for some time on the whole dog issue. In the end, I'm sure I could not refuse anything that would make my three favorite guys so happy. I had some stipulations though. I wanted him to be small enough to keep clean. I cannot bring myself to have a dog that is just tied in the yard or trapped in a kennel until someone decides to amuse themselves with it. No, if we have a dog we will give it a home AND a family. This is why I had to have a dog who could easily bathed. It was on our third or fourth trip to the animal shelter that we found Eddie. Eddie seems very happy with us, he loves the boys, and takes is job as dogie guard very seriously.

I like your dog. He looks really cute. And a very happy birthday to Cayden. I love the cake. I am doing Joshua's bedroom in Johne Deere. I am in the process of doing it, but it will probably be after Christmas when it will be finished.

Awww. A cute little beagle mix! Beagles are good for active little boys.

Both our animals are from the shelter and they've been great pets!
