So, what WAS I thinking?

Well, I was thinking she was really cute, and it is the girls' birthday, after all, and they're always badgering me about getting another pet, and . . .

I dunno. I'm a sucker, I guess.



She doesn't have a name yet, but there's been much discussion already. We'll have to decide sometime. She's a dacshund/rat terrier mix, and she has hazel green eyes.



The kids are in love with her. They're fighting over who gets to hold her next. I don't think she knows what our floor looks like yet.



I know, I'm a wimp. But it is "the zoo" here, isn't it? What's one more? I keep telling myself that, anyway.
