Lifelong dream accomplished! I have a dog!

You might think this is for my sons,  you know the adage that every boy needs a dog?

Honestly,  it's simply the first time in my life I could ever be a good dog owner. Growing up every Santa letter pled for a puppy,  reassuring the jolly old man it wouldn't really hurt my very allergic mom. Then I lived and worked in college residence halls where they were prohibited. Then I had my own baby's poop to clean up after the last 6 years.

But my youngest is potty trained and I'm glutton for punishment!  Bring on 10 more years of cleaning up poop!

After much researching and shelter hunting I found the most amazing dog,  Lucky!

A 19lb poodle shih tzu mix,  two low allergy, low shedding dogs in one! At 5 years old,  his elderly owner just passed away. All the house, leash, and simple training is done already!   (RIP of course)

He looks like a puppy but is docile and patient like a champ!  The boys wrestling around doesn't faze him, and he doesn't care to join in either.  It's so sweet how fiercely protective of Lucky Ethan seems already.  I hope he gets the unconditional love from his first dog that I always dreamt of as a child.

Check out the last pic,  the groomer gave him an Uncle Sam goatee. I had it trimmed for the puppy cut but a pretty funny option!
