Getting a puppy

January 10th, 2004 · No Comments

Our neighbors down the street got a puppy and the girls got to meet him yesterday for the first time.

On our way home, walking up the hill back to our house, I could tell the girls were getting attached to the dog, so I wasn’t surprised by Abigail’s question…

Abigail: When can we get a puppy?

Me: A dog is a lot of work. Who’s going to give the puppy a bath?

Abigail: Me!

Me: Who’s going to take the puppy for a walk?

Abigail: Me!

Me: Who’s going to clean up the puppy poop?

Abigail: I don’t know.
