No, seriously, I think we are pretty complete!
Billy and Buddy I've always had a soft spot for animals. I tried to to get my mom to let me take in all kinds of pets. She was far more resolute with saying no than I am. My kids have identified this quickly. This past weekend we adopted a dog from Wright Way Rescue. Billy is a shelter dog, and he was perfect. My husband wan't opposed to another dog, but he wasn't pushing for it either. If I could find another dog who was housebroken, didn't chew, was good with the kids, didn't shed too much, and was an acceptable choice to Billy (we didn't want him to feel pushed aside) then by all means I could have another. Mission accomplished! Meet Buddy! He is such a sweet dog. Billy went with us when we went to meet him; he approved- not whole heartedly but there were no protests. Buddy, who went by the name Guy until he came home with us, is a Shitzu Terrier mix. He was everything on the list and more. He is a snuggler and loves to go for walks- too many for Billy's likes. He was a perfect addition to our house. We are now a family of two kids, two dogs, three fish, and a praying mantis; I'm not including the crickets in that tally since they are pretty much just a food source for Millie the mantis. It's a happy, crazy house! My husband loves the new little guy, but all the same, I'm not supposed to go to a shelter again, but there is always the pet store....
No, seriously, I think we are pretty complete!

Awww he's so cute! Do the dogs and Millie get along well? Knowing my dog, he would probably find a way to eat the praying mantis in the end, unfortunately... Yet he's scared of my cats!

Once Dusty found and ant outside and she caught it and ate it. She also caught and ate a fly that was oh so annoyingly buzzing against our window, and cicada shells are always a good snack...

They do not seem too interested in Millie. If she were out of the cage Luci would be the one to squish her.

Oh my gosh! He's so cute!!!! Dusty is a shih-tzu poodle mix, and, well, you've seen plenty of pictures of her... In some of the pictures Buddy looks a little bit like Dusty!
