Yes, I am crazy...

This weekend we decided to expand our family by getting a puppy. Yes, you may think I am crazy, but I have found a lot of good out of having a puppy. First, her name is Schatzi and she is a German Shepherd/lab mix and is 14 weeks old. The family we adopted her from had already started working with her on housebreaking and simple commands so we were one step ahead.

The biggest adjustment to having a puppy around is having a puppy around. The get into everything just like a baby. This is the up side. If the kids want to keep their toys they have to keep the toys picked up. So, that means the house stays clean and there has been little arguing so far. Also, Schatzi is getting me prepared for all of the things that Bianca will be into in a few months. So the puppy is helping me baby proof the house as well.

So far Schatzi and us are all adjusting great. She is sleeping through the night pretty well and is learning commands. So, while you may think that I am crazy for adding another thing to our crazy lives, Schatzi has made my life easier!
