Yesterday, we welcomed a new member to the family, Smudge. After the kids turned over every cent they had, signed three contracts each, and created a meticulous job chart, we purchased a dog. I'm not sure if the poor dog has had a moments peace since she got here. The kids put blankets in the living room to sleep next to her (her only night in the house), and I noticed they brought down a lamp to read her a bedtime story. She sure is a cute little dog, and so far, has been very mild mannered.
