New Members of the Family

It's been years since we had dogs. It took forever for the cat to die, so we were finally free. Go where we want, do what we want, don't have to arrange for someone to watch the dog, feed the dog, don't have to be home to let the dog out... now that's all gone... Of course they belong to the kids who do most of the feeding, walking, grooming, etc., but just enough of it spills over to make life just a little more hectic.
Even so, they are family now. You get used to it after a while - like that constant ache in my left shoulder.
