I know it sounds crazy that Timothy and I got Wilson, fell in love, and decided we were most emphatically, whole-heartedly, dog people.
I know I wasn't expecting it.
But that's what happened. Furthermore, one dog didn't seem like quite enough. When I read on ksl.com about a standard poodle mixed with german shorthair pointer, I couldn't resist.
So, the kids and I went and picked up Patsy.
The cutest little bundle of pup you've ever seen.

That's Mr. Wilson, for those of you who don't remember the freaky eyes. When I brought him home, he thought I was the best thing ever and he's remained totally devoted ever since. I take him jogging, I brush him, I train him, and I love him. He's my dog.
And while Wilson tolerates the children with laudable even-temper, he's not very interactive. No fetch. No toys. No games. Not quite what we had in mind.
Not that we don't love him. I adore him. Look at the loving/happy grin he's giving me in the above picture. There is nothing wrong with being adored, and I'll take all the love and affection I can get.
Between Wilson not wanting to play fetch and me wanting Wilson to have a buddy, and my insatiable desire to create work for myself, we got a puppy.

Now Wilson has a friend, Timothy has a dog that likes him best, and the kids have something to torment, ahem, play with. We're all very, very happy with the new arrangements.
