The New Addition
Well, I thought I'd never have an inside dog again. With some not so good dog incidents growing up, the idea of owning a family dog wasn't something that Michelle and I discussed regularly. I guess two small children changed that. Last Friday afternoon, we "embarked" on a new era in the Pilcher family (no pun intended). I introduce to you dog lovers out there..."Sadie." We think she is a Cairn Terrier. Frankly, she's beautiful...and the kids love her...and she loves us, even me. Think of it... Funny story: My dad and mom bought my sister a toy poodle when she was in high school after a traumatic experience in her life. Soon after they got her, she got sick and died. True story...my dad prayed her back

I have to comment you on this .
Welcome to parenthood again...Oh , I mean puppyhood ! We got a Westie puppy on Christmas Eve (Sugar), and December 23rd was the last full nites sleep I have gotten ! I had forgotten how much work they were. But I pray that she gets on your schedule rather quickly , and not the other way around ! Have fun !
Best of luck on your raising of another child. I see what you mean...it's no doubt a lot of work. It's amazing what you will do for your own kids.
Wow! I know Ethan and Emma are excited! I don't think Ethan talked to me as much in one sitting as he did when I asked him about Sadie. I saw Sadie on Friday and she definitely looks like a Cairn. My sister had a Cairn terrier, Max, and he was awesome! So much energy and so loving. From what I understand Cairns were originally trained to hunt and Max loved to stalk and chase other animals, especially birds. Ginger, our beagle-basset, died recently and the boys are after us for a new dog, but I think we're goint to wait a while. Maybe after one of our children is gone (graduated), we can add one of the four-footed variety again.
