Carlo or Ben?

The whole family went to the Delaware Humane Society today.

That was an eye opener!

We took a look at about 25 dogs big, medium and small.

We picked Carlo, and the worker guy brought out Ben.

We romped and ran with both.

The kids were in heaven! Chad and I were in shock that we were looking at dogs!

This is Ben. He is two years old. He's cuter in person.

He's mellower, shorter and Kirk votes for him.
This is Carlo. He is 4 months old.
He's younger, taller and everyone else votes for him.

Both are Beagles. Both are short haired and don't shed "much."
Whatever that means!
Both will live outside, and will run around on a dog run in the back.

Who do you vote for?

Chad, Kirk and a Bet!

Last Sunday, on the way to church, Chad made a bet with Kirk. It went something like this....

"Kirk, if you can guess who sings this song we'll go get a dog tomorrow."

(Side note: all four kids have been hounding us for a dog unmercifully all summer! Ha, no pun intended!) Anyway, Chad never, ever thought what happened next would happen next! Kirk guessed "The Beatles" and he was right! How does a 1st grader even know about the Beatles? Needless to say, we've been on the internet looking for the perfect dog. My criteria is that it doesn't slobber, shed or leave "anything" in the house or live in the house! We're still looking. Chad, Chad, Chad. What are we going to do with you? And you know, we're going to have to name it "Beatles."
