Getting our dog

So, we did it. Somehow it happened. It probably had something to do with the pressure of having two persistent daughters and an empty backyard, but for whatever reason, we gave in...and got a dog. And while this may not sound like anything too extraordinary for most people, for two cat people who know nothing about dogs, this was a HUGE event.

On June 8, 2010, we adopted an 18-week old German Shepherd mix puppy named Casey. She was very friendly (exceptionally so) and seemed like a good, safe fit for our family. She was submissively calm when held and yet adequately confident. Our biggest concern was her potential size. We have no idea how big she is going to get, but we shall see soon enough. For now, we find ourselves navigating uncharted waters and figuring out the dos and don'ts of dog rearing. Hopefully, we haven't bitten off more than we can chew!
