And dog makes eight!

So what is the definition of insanity? Five kids ...and a Dog! Namely, a puppy. Toby Mac, our adorable little Schnoodle, is both a menace to society and a blessing to our home. What were we thinking? I already have five children, ages 11, 9, 5, 3, and 8 months. Why add a puppy to the mix? House breaking has been a challenge, as has his seemingly insatiable desire to chew paper. But watching him get excited about playing with one of the boys, and that child smiling, makes it worth while. I fully believe that God made both babies and puppies cute so that we wouldn't give up on them when they are naughty. Thank God for cute baby smiles and wagging puppy tails. They both brighten our day.
