Dog Sitting ?!?!

Nikki, our new doggie friend

No seriously . . . us? The Fultons are dogsitting? OK, I have to admit that I have pretty much run out of love for Babs (our dog that is 14 years old), but my kids are obsessed with dogs right now. They have been begging us for a puppy. When my friend Brenda got this puppy named Nikki, I thought it was so cute (to visit once in a while). Then when I heard that she was going out of town for the weekend, and needed a place for her dog to go, I thought it might be fun to let the kids hang out with Nikki and

practice what it would be like to be puppy parents. I wondered what Babs would think about a puppy in the house? Would the kids still be excited after a day or so? How much help would I get taking care of this new dog?

Our dog Babs, in her usual spot

Unfortunately, the kids LOVE this little doggie. They are having so much fun chasing her and playing with her. They are also being very helpful with feeding her and taking her for walks (its only been a day and a half). She really is very adorable and it would be hard not to love her, but I am still not convinced that I am ready to take on a puppy full time. So for now the Fultons will stick to "dog-sitting" and watching our old dog Babs sleep on the floor. We will have fun playing with Nikki for the weekend and then hand her back to her family. We'll see what my kids think of that . . .

Nikki dont take my ball!!!


How cute am I?
