~Still thinking~

If this little furry creature didn't poop
I think she would already be ours!

We visit our local Humane Society often.
Mainly so the kids can play with the dogs and cats
(I do not go in with the cats....
we will never have a cat).
They have learned we leave empty handed.
We go to just look.

However, we went this past Saturday and I in
particular took a liking to a very cute,
cuddly soft black dog.
She is poodle with some Shih Tzu.
She was found in a local park (actually close to our home)
and nobody has claimed her.
They believe she is 4-5 years old.
She is 12 pounds.

Danny and I decided to allow the kid to take her out and walk her. We played some with her. Saturday was such a nice day for this. We asked the kennel staff some questions and they tried to get us interested in a
dog that already came from a daycare setting. However there was just something about that dog's situation that made me think it wasn't the right dog for us.

So Danny and I talked about it and agreed we didn't want to jump into anything.We couldn't go on Sunday as we already had plans and they were only open a few short hours. Monday they are closed. So yesterday Danny took the girls back to walk the dog again and see how they reacted to her.

We are still trying to decide if she is right for us. We haven't had a dog or puppy in almost 3 years. The last one we had we did not go about it the right way. We jumped into things and it wasn't the right type of dog for us.It didn't do well with the kids so we had to give her to another family.

When we ask Maddi about it she tells us she wants Winnie! Winnie is my aunt and uncles dog. So that's not really possible. So I guess we will wait and see. If she is still there Friday she will hopefully become ours. If she has already found a home then we know it wasn't ment to be. This would give us the weekend to get used her being around and a chance for her to make herself at home before daycare kids are here.
That is another issue- I have to talk to my current daycare families and let them know we are concidering a dog.

Its almost just as much work as having a baby!!

So come back this weekend and see if she is ours and if so what her name will be! (because she came to then as impound she doesn't know the name they gave her, Jenny. So we would change it)
