That is where we are at too! My boys are dying for a dog, and our catch phrase has been when we have more money and more room... we recently bought property and great grandmas farm dog just had 9 puppies... so guess who's getting a dog! we aren't living in the country yet but by summer! In the mean time we have also been walking the neighbours dog, and taking it while they are away a day or two at a time. It has been fun. (except for the hole in my carpet the little devil scratched through- I think it was a spot where baby had spit up just before the scratching started!)
I'm a science nerd, a domestic non-diva, and cheesecake connoisseur. Still friends with my ex, constantly sleep deprived, and continually committing to more than my sanity can handle. I love being mom, being crafty, and being just as immature as my 14 year old students.

All I can say is "Awwww..."
