We got a new baby!

Her name is Katie. I have been telling DH for a while now that I miss having a dog, but I wasn't really planning to do anything about it at least until school was out. So when we went to buy fish food yesterday, we had no intention of bringing home a puppy, but she's just so darn cute, how could we not? She is a shelter dog that is a lab mix. We bought her a crate and she is doing really well with it. We're a bit concerned because she is sleeping a lot. I don't know if I have ever had a puppy this small before, so I don't if its normal or not, but we already have a vet appointment .

I think she likes the kids and treats them like her dog sisters. If they are on the floor, she just curls up next to them and goes to sleep. She finally went into her crate of her own accord. We are trying to teach her that the crate is her "safe place" where the kids can't mess with her.

I know its insane to take on a dog right before finals and my trial ad trial, but so far she's been little trouble. Also, getting the kids a pet makes me feel less guilty about ignoring so much them while my study schedule amps up.
