So here is the newest addition to our family. actually He's my mom and Dad's little puppy, Barkley. isn't he adorable.
Here's the exciting part. If you've ever mentioned dogs to Ryan he's told you how much he hates them. He's always been allergic and his family never had one growing up so he's just not a dog person. For the most part I've always been ok with that, and just decited that it will be nice that I'll never have to clean up pee from our carpet (at least dog pee). but some of me gets a little sad. I think someday when the kids are a little older I'd like a little dog.
Well we went to my mom's on Sunday and Barkley came and snuggled up to Ryan. Ryan won't admit this but he totally fell in love with him. So later I asked if Barkley and another dog ever had puppies what he would think about taking one. and he said YES!!! so Barkley in 5 years you better be married and have puppies, because we want one.
Bailee is already on the countdown, I told her maybe when she is 12. it's a good thing we don't have one now, she would definitely mother it to death.
So the Milestone for Ryan is that he said Maybe SOMEDAY!!!

That is so funny Katie! Chris had the exact same breakthrough recently. So much so that we have actually talked about getting the kids one for Easter this year. I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of us. :)
I have to say I'm not really a dog person either! Well, I like dogs, I just don't want one of my own! We had a family dog growing up (I was the reason we got him too)and he was a little pest! I could tell you many stories about the problems he caused. Now my parents are pretty much our dogs nursing home because he might just live forever (he's 17!).
So, my advice is if you get a dog... train it right away!
Even though I don't want a dog, your parent's dog almost makes me want one because it's so dang cute!
what a cute dog!! dogs are a total pain, but it's worth it when I see how much my kids love her. if she's the one causing my allergies though, she's outta here. i can relate to ryan on that one. congrats ryan! the first step is the hardest. now you just need to go visit the humane society "just to see what they have". craigslist is also a good source!
Oh that little doggie is a cutie!! I love the pic of him wiht your little girl! So adorable!
XO
You are too funny. I hope Barkley gets married soon so you guys can get a little puppy!!
Oh my goodness same story for us! I am not generally a pet person but I totally am on a 2-3 year countdown for a dog. maybe we'll get one at the same time.
I concur... he IS adorable!!
I love those dogs...and I don't like dogs either
