Well, my kids and I would LOVE a dog. One Saturday we stopped at two Petsmarts with hopes of finding a perfect dog. At the first one we found a beautiful black cocker. She was calm and sweet, but was finishing heartworm treatment and wouldn't be available until Dec. 1. You know how kids are, when you tell them you're getting something, they want it now! So it was on to the second Petsmart where we found Scooby. His foster mom had more than she could handle with four new adopted babies under the age of two, two dogs of their own and several foster dogs. She was ready to find a home for Scooby, she said we could take him home for a night and try him out. Well, we loved Scooby, but he is a Beagle, and would be way too high maintenance. He kept trying to dig under the fence to get whatever he smelled on the other side, he was also a pain to walk because he would get sniffing and just be oblivously pulling his walker along. I think Scooby probably would have calmed down as soon as he got used to the new place, but it was too much for Scott to handle. So, no dog until the kids are a little older. But how they loved Scooby, especially Julia. She snuggled him in her bed right on her pillow with her.

We had a beagle when I was growing up! Scooby is soo cute, but I doubt he would have ever calmed down. Our little Kopper NEVER did the whole time he was alive! They are so cute and pathetic looking! They are hard to say no to!
