Well, that was short lived. Brandon and I decided to get a puppy because we thought the girls would enjoy it. Eleanor always goes crazy when she hears a dog bark and everything. So, on April 26th we got a german shorthair/lab mix-- she was 6 weeks old. It took about a week of attempting to housetrain and keeping the girls from killing the dog (Eleanor's favorite past-time was carrying the dog around with one arm under its front legs and the other strangling it) before he was ready to find the dog a new home. So, this evening- MEG went to a friend's house to grow up-- too bad I couldn't see this coming and already pre-paid for all her vet visits for the first 4 months.... :) I guess I should have known.
