Or, perhaps a better title for this post would be "What in the World Were We Thinking??!!"To be honest I'm not sure if we were thinking at all. We certainly didn't plan this addition to our family she just sorta fell into our laps. Here's how it went down. Thursday a sales rep at Ryan's office (who res
cues dogs on the side) somehow convinced him that this little beagle puppy (who was going to be put to sleep) should come home with him. So Friday, she did!

I am laughing so hard right now!
I just read the comments for the post and I keep going back to our conversation today about Virginia and your feelings towards her...
So, can you live without her?
On a side note, I'm wondering why your Carolina Wren was named Virginia and not...um...Carolina?
