Canine Obsession

Well, the kids' obsession over a dog is reaching deafening proportions. It seems that Brent and I are going to lose the battle. I. just. cannot. say. no. anymore.!

This past Thursday we visited the Harford County Humane Society. They didn't have any small dogs other than a beagle ( ugly ones, too) which I don't want. Since I am not, by nature, an animal lover, it is very important to me to have a dog that is going to stay pleasant to look at. I know it is shallow and heartless and cold, but it is the harsh reality. I figure I'm going to have to look at this dog's face for a long many years and I want it to be a nice view.

So far, the dog I've found to be cutest and is in our size range (small to medium) is a Puggle. This is really just a mutt, but it's an "on purpose" kind of mutt! They breed a beagle and a pug and VOILA! You get a Puggle! Aren't they cute- and they stay cute, too. Now, just to find one in our small price range! Fortunately, over the past few months, I've found a few at the shelter sites. We'll have to keep looking....
