Meet Charlie...



We welcomed a new addition to our family of five. The girls have been asking for a dog for a couple of years now, especially Regan. It's wasn't that Bryan and I didn't want a dog too, but we just didn't feel like we had the time to take care of one.
Bryan took the girls to run some errands and to the grocery store Saturday morning, while I went to work for a few hours. PAWS was set up in the parking lot at the grocery store and the girls saw them... From what Bryan said, the girls asked 100 times in the store if they could look at the dogs, so he gave in. Luckily for the girls, there was a very adorable lab that needed a home. It was also a male dog, which was the only requirement of Bryan's... he needs another male presence in our house of women, even if it is a dog.
I met Bryan and the girls for lunch and they ran to me screaming "we found a dog",,, "daddy said we could get a dog". And Bryan stated, "I'm a pushover".
So here he is... our new dog. The girls have been attentive, making sure he eats and giving him fresh water, and they talk to him all the time. However, when it gets to frisky for them and starts jumping on them to play, well... let's just say they run for their life. :) Oh well, they will get used to playing with him.
