and so it goes.

Every few months, I look Carlos straight in the eye and I tell him that I either need a puppy or a baby. He always says no to both. That was until last Friday. I called about an ad for a 6 week old chihuahua puppy- an hour later, she was ours.
She's technically Alexandria's puppy, but she requires a little more care than a 12yr. old can really endure- all though all the kids are helping out tremendously. Her name is Chica, and I am in love.
Having something so little and helpless to mother is extremely satisfying to me. It's what I love best in the whole world.
