We attempted having a dog, and it lasted a year. The Easter bunny surprised the boys for Easter 2009 with a new puppy. But, the love didn't last long. Poor dog. Little Joe was a cute little dog, but poor thing was neglected by those who were supposed to love him the most. The boys loved him in theory, but when they went into the back yard to play, Joe jumped on them, chased them, and nipped at their heels. It got to the point where we put Joe outside in the morning, and brought him in at night for bed. He was starved for attention, and Jared was the only one who really gave him any. Plus, I am not a fan of dog hair, and he shed like crazy. So, we found a new loving home for Joe with a family in Reno. Matt had a rough few days, and Joe was "his" dog, but I don't think he has spoken his name since. Wish I could say, We miss you Joe, but I don't. (sorry for all the dog lovers)
