We got a dog !!!!

After much hesitation, we got a dog!
For many years now Madeline has been nagging us to get a dog. After attending parent/teacher/student interview at the end of June, and hearing a VERY good persuasive argument that our daughter had written on the topic "Every family should have a dog" - we (the grown-ups) made the decision.
After much research from Rob on sites for dog adoptions, he found the "perfect"dog. Madeline had her heart set on a "ball of fluff" and had thought pomeranians looked "so cute". When Rob found "Chip" on the RSPSA site and saw he was 1 year, desexed AND pomeranian/papillon - he went to see him - and came home with a surprise for Madeline!
The look on her face - PRICELESS !!!!

 

Still have to decide a name for him ...
