We have a new family member!

We have some very exciting news! We have a brand new family member who was just born, yup you read that right. We're getting a puppy! Sorry, I had to. Anyway, Jason dogsat for his friend recently while his friend drove to pick up a dog who found abandoned and pregnant. I guess Jason should be a professional dog sitter because his friend felt like he did so well at it that he deserved a puppy. Okay, maybe that wasn't his exact thinking he knew we wanted a puppy but couldn't afford to just straight up buy one. So long story short we're adding a puppy to our crazy bunch, yes I know it's a lot to handle we now have 9 kids, a dog, and who knows what other animals we'll add into the mix as time goes by. As you can imagine the kids are pumped, they've already picked out too possible names for the dog-one for a boy and one for a girl since we haven't decided which we want. I have a mix of emotions, I am excited don't get me wrong, but I'm also nervous. I haven't owned a puppy since I was eight and I didn't train him my parents did! I have no idea what I'm getting myself into, but I really want my kids to have these memories that dogs bring. So, wish us luck as we learn all about dog training and what the heck a Bagle Hound dog is like!
