Quadromom/dad

You know when you have a family that has like 10 kids they can't afford and you find out they are pregnant again? And you roll your eyes and say "They are pregnant AGAIN??"

Well that's us... only with dogs. We are like quadrodoggymom and quadrodoggydad. Because yes, we are getting another dog! (this will make four ......hence the quad... sorry I'm erring on the side of stupidity)

You see there is a good reason. ( well other than the fact that we are dog loving freaks and will most likely end up with a dozen dogs one day...either that or we have got to have another baby! why is it so much easier to take the leap and get another dog than it is to have another child? ) Lucy, as much as we love her, is slowing down. She only has probably 1 or maybe 2 hunting seasons left. She made this very apparent the other day when there were ducks in the next door neighbors back yard and she didn't even see them. Mike had to physically point her head towards the ducks to get her to realize it. Then off she went when they had already saw her! Mike swears she is the best hunting dog ever and he feels she needs to train another dog and/or have one trained before she dies(we are totally dreading that idea). Therefore with most pups needing to be a year old to really hunt that puts us in a time crunch. Oh and if your wondering; Daisy is a pointer and she wouldn't retrieve if her life depended on it. If you could get her to put a duck in her mouth she would just run around with it in circles until she ran out of energy... which would be never.

We have found what we believe will not only be an excellent hunter but also a wonderful addition to our family. SHE will be a Chesapeake Bay Retriever/Chocolate Lab mix. They are only a week old so we have to wait 5 more weeks for her to come home. We haven't gone to pick her out yet so I don't have a specific picture. We are very excited. I KNOW we are crazy dog people (instead of crazy cat lady; you know...ha ha- once again erring on the side of stupidity)
