As if things weren't crazy enough around here, we decided to add a lab puppy to the mix.
His name is Jack and he came home with us May 1. Here is a picture of the four of us with Jack in April when we picked him out.
He is a bundle of energy and tries to chew on EVERYTHING but we've been very firm with him and are really starting to see him learn the rules, which is exciting. The house-training is going better than expected and he is learning not to bite when he plays with us. This is something we have been planning to do for awhile, as it is really important to us that the kids grow up with pets.
We chose a lab because they are good with kids and trainable. We are enrolling him in puppy training and eventually dog training when he is old enough to make sure we have a good, well-rounded family pet. Right now we are just having fun! I was baking the other day and spilled some flour. Guess who was right there to help mop it up!
I am not a dog person, but if I were, this is the kind I would get. Labs are such good, gentle family dogs. Wise choice!
