And now we are 7

Okay, so many of you may remember "Rascal", Emma's cat. If you don't, let me give you a brief history. Even though Cam and I ARE NOT cat people, we got Emma a cat for Christmas '05. Beautiful playful kitten...mean, mean, mean adult cat. Even Emma, the animal lover, wasn't crazy about him. She would always say, "I love my cat, but I sure do wish he was a nice cat". One day I asked Emma if she would like to find Rascal a home where he might be better understood and then we could adopt an older nicer cat from the Humane Society. She smiled and said...could we do that?!? So, we found Rascal a good home. That was about 9 months ago, and about once a week Emma would reference the "new cat" she was going to get. Cam and I were procrastinating because not only do I not love cats, but I HATE cat litter. Then, a wonderful thing happened...Emma said, "you know, I think I want a dog instead of a new cat"...HHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! Our original plan was to get a dog from the Humane Society, but we were discouraged to find out that they hardly ever get small dogs and when they do they are usually need to go to homes with children older than 10. Since we didn't want another big dog, we decided to get a puppy. We researched breeds, and decided to get a Rat Terrier (bad name, but so cute). So....now we are 7. We brought Punkin' Roobyroo (like ScoobyDoo) home Friday night. She is doing great so far, and everyone is enjoying having her around...even Aiden. Here are a few pics, for some reason I didn't get any of Katelynne with her, but she has been giving her lots of love too :) "Um, what is down there???"
"Who is licking my toes???"
Watching Aiden
"Hey, get back in that box"

"Stay in the box"

Face off
"Watch out...I'll lick ya"
