Meet the Langlois'

So we took the plunge. We actually threw caution to the wind and did it. We got a DOG!

We had been praying for a few years, wondering if we (Ryan and I) could actually handle it.  we knew Jonah would do great, us on the other hand? And by I mean handle, I mean stay sane long enough, to love it enough, to keep it. Catch my drift. It was probably was never going to happen if we kept telling ourselves that it would drive us crazy.

But something changed last week. A dog had been orphaned by a nice fellow named Bill. It was one of those,  "my best friends brothers, wife's, Dad's dog.." situations. We did not have any clue what we were getting. Actually, what we got was quite contrary to what we were told.

So, last sunday after a long Journey from Edson, (and a sleepover) we picked him and his WARDROBE up at his excellent babysitter and brought him home.

Ryan and I were FREAKING OUT! We felt like we were really shaking stuff up. We needed to shake stuff up, it was getting ALOT too comfortable around here.

But without a hitch the Dog.... POGO, came home and has been here for 5 days. He's peed on the carpet downstairs TWICE, (to Ryan's dismay) and One poop incident.  He has slept in Jonah's bed every night, and is quiet and very friendly.

He is nothing like we were told, and nothing we wanted, but EVERYTHING we needed.  Dogs do change things and shake stuff up. Pogo has done that, and we love him....ALOT. Its funny, I thought Id never be one of those DOG people, but I'm already there. I am meeting new people and learning so much. I find it's an Ice breaker when I am walking him. (People love to talk about their pets.)

I'm excited for the weeks ahead. I'm excited to see Jonah bond with him, and Ryan to finally join the baby talk to puppies phase. I'm just so excited....can you tell?

Anyway here is a pic of the little man... (not soo little, on a diet!)

Above is POGO before the Groomer.......

And after.... MUCH better. I think he lost 5 lbs of hair!

Until next time,
Dog lover....
