But What I REALLY Want for my Birthday...

    Okay, so if you know me, you know that for YEARS I've been trying to bring a puppy into our home.  Crazy you think?  Yes, probably so, but I grew up with a dog and she was such a huge part of our family.  (You dog people get this.)
    There have always been a thousand excuses why NOT to get a dog. 
    "We'll be tied down to it...it will destroy our house..
.we have four kids, we have four kids, we have four kids."  You get my point. 
    That's just it though.  As ridiculously crazy as our house already is, I can't help but think that we might as well throw a puppy into the mix since we can't remember what it feels like to have quiet and peace.  Why would we wait until the kids are grown and gone to start all over again? 
    The biggest reason though, is that I want the kids to grow up with a family dog.  They can love it and play with it as they grow and learn to take care of something other than themselves.      I've been trying to talk Adam into this theory since before our youngest was born and she's almost five now.  Adam has always been the voice of reason in our marriage though -
and I'm, well - not.
     So.  As luck would have it, a woman contacted me yesterday saying that she was about to have some puppies which will be ready to go home in March.  Guess who has a birthday in March?  Yep, this girl.
    I'll cross my fingers and try to sweet talk Adam into finally taking the leap, but if history repeats itself, we'll be dog-less for another year.  Can't wait to see how it goes! 
    Please Vote each day from any computer!  THANK YOU!

Bea! As cute as puppies can be, Adam may be more open to a dog beyond the puppy stage and I can hook you up with an amazing rescue. I know you seem to be drawn to labs, and I work with a lab rescue here. You just can't imagine the perfect dogs people throw away with nothing wrong with them. I have had 4 adult adoptions, all amazing. Mix or pure bred. You can find any kind you want waiting for a home. I have had 2 yellow labs, 1 black chow-chow, and now my little cairn terrier. Housebroken from day one, no chewing, and you know exactly what you are getting because they have been fostered. I have fostered many pups, and one adopter said it perfectly 3 days after taking one of them home: "It is as if he has always lived with us." .............. what day in March? :)

Suzanne, that sounds AWESOME! You are SO Wonderful to do this. Believe it or not, we put a deposit down on one of the little puppies but they aren't born yet. I'm hoping that we'll be able to get a little girl but I think we're already fifth or so in line for only seven puppies. I'm glad that you gave me this information and I'll stay connected with you as things unfold. I Love You and you know Adam does too! Thank You again!!! XOXO
