We have taken a huge step. After a year of no pets we have adopted 2 new puppies. This was a huge decision and it was greatly influenced by our daughter. She has been asking for a new pet since 3 months after the death of our previous loved ones. We finally said yes after lots of discussion and an understanding that she is responsible for their training, feeding and etc.
She has taken the responsibility very seriously. She spent her own money to purchase the food, bed, shampoo, toys, treats, collars, leashes, nail clippers, etc. and then spent quite a bit of time reading up on "how to train your puppy". She has been very firm explaining to us what she expects from us when we are dealing with our new family members. Things like when we are to feed them, how much, when they should be walked and what we are to say when they make an "accident". She has very specific plans about taking them with her when she finally leaves home and she doesn't want ill mannered animals. I'm just pleased that she is taking this responsibility to heart. Here she is taking a nap with Ringo and Pluto (I wanted to name him Mo Jo) after their first day.
Here's a close up with Shawna and Ringo. The puppies are a bundle of energy but when they sleep, they sleep hard.
Aren't they cute!

They are super cute!!! Shawna is pretty cute too. Does Shawna watch the Dog Whisperer? I've been watching that and trying out his tricks. Sometimes I make progress and sometimes I forget.
