Wishing for Dog Days

Vanessa seems to feel more in control with dogs recently. Rather than her fully fretting over whether a place or home has a dog, she might ask so she can prepare for how to engage the animal. However, a few of her friends have some huge dogs that still seem to concern her some. We're thankful she is finding that there is a ton of joy in loving animals.

She's started asking for a dog but understands that dogs are a lot of work. (She also tells me that being a mom is a lot of work.) She recently explained to me and Zane that if you don't show a pet love and attention, it could die.

These last couple of days she also started wishing for Spring to get here. But are we really ready for dog days?

Poor Zane might need a little more time. He's been known to sit absolutely still on a counter for long periods of time just to be out of reach from a dog. He's also insisted we place him on our shoulders to get him up high, and he will stay there for a really long time, like forever.

Hey, kids, should we get a puppy for Dad's b-day?!
