New Additions

Our family has two new additions so I thought I'd take a moment to introduce you to "the girls".

First off let me tell you how our new additions came about. BD thought it would be a great idea to visit the animal shelter and let the boys pick out a new puppy. So a couple of months ago BD and I take a drive to the shelter to make sure they do actually have some puppies before we spring the news on the boys. Yes, the shelter does have puppies, so off we go to pick up the boys from school and take them to pick out a puppy.

When we get to the "puppy room" of the shelter we're met with 9 of the cutest most adorable puppies. NOW comes the hard part. How to get two boys to pick ONE puppy from the 9 we have to chose from. Well I never should have been worried about BB and LB....I should have been worried about BD. The boys picked out a cute little Border Collie named Cinder. They were playing with her, getting to know her when I looked over at BD.

There he was, standing in front of one of the pens with a strange look on his face and I knew right then and there it was......puppy love!!! So needless to say, the boys picked out their puppy and BD just had to have one of his own - LOL!!

So......we came home that day from the animal shelter with not one puppy for the boys, but one puppy for them and one for BD. But I will admit...."the girls" are adorable. Cinder - the black border collie - is wound tighter than a clock and seems to bounce everywhere. Bella - a chocolate lab/Sharpe mix - is the more laid back of the two. The boys seem to really enjoy having 2 puppies around to play with and "the girls" seem to really enjoy playing with the boys.
