The day we had a puppy.

We have been looking at puppies for over a year now. 
My thought has always been to wait until we have a house with a backyard...but
last Monday, we  found this sweet little guy and all fell in love!
He was the sweetest puppy! He let my kids pull and poke and was
just happy to be around them, so we brought him home.
The next morning, Scott woke up congested with blood shot eyes and a rash 
on his neck and we figured he was allergic.
The kids played with him all morning and by the afternoon, he was doing great with
going potty outside...but with Scott reacting that way to him, we knew we couldn't keep him.
So we took him back, telling Avery that we just were watching him for the day and
that his brother and friends were waiting for him.
Talk about killing a 3 year old's dream! She was so devastated! I still feel so bad when Avery brings him up,
which is like 5 times a day.
I hope we can find another good puppy for our family...it will have to be
something that Scott can live with. But until then, we'll remember the sweet little beagle that we
named Charlie.

OMG, I want a puppy soo bad! We are trying to wait until we have a house/yard (which is years away). That little guy you brought home was soo cute! Too bad Scott is allergic. He might do better if get a poodle mix like a labradoodle. They have hair instead of fur so most people with allergies don't have a problem, and they don't shed. The other option is to wait until you have a yard and just have an outside dog.
