How We Got Our Dog...

I was by no means a dog lover, yes I would pet them when I saw a neighbor or a friend with their companion. However, I just never felt a connection. I guess they were cool to look at, but when I thought of the time and commitment that would take into getting an animal it wasn't something I wanted to do.
And after years of battling with my four children as to why we could not have a dog, I finally caved in but not reluctantly. It took months of researching that people thought I was actually insane. I think it took more out of me choosing a pet then I did for my car. I knew there were things I definitely did not want and things I did want. After long hours of surfing and interviewing I can honestly now say that my choice of a golden retriever was my best bet. I wouldn't change a thing, he is everything I wanted and so much part of our family.

Weekends are supposed to be relaxing?

How can anyone even imagine relaxing with kids around, huh? Weekends, oh yeah those are the days that we play catch up with laundry, cleaning and how about the extra curricular activities. Sports, birthday parties, play dates don’t they seem to come around on the weekends as well.
I think there should be two weekends yearly dedicated to do NOTHING! That is when we can actually spend true quality time with family and friends. Sometimes I feel like everything is so rushed that there just isn’t enough time. Monday rolls around so quickly then it’s back to a different tune. Well, I hope you enjoyed your weekend!
