Must Love Dogs

Here's a simple fact about my family; we LOVE dogs and have three of them at home, (Plus two bunnies, a cat, and some fish)!

While rescue mutts may be my favorite kind of dog, my youngest daughter Harper LOVES huskies, (even though we have never owned one).

Yesterday while using my phone, (and evidently looking at Facebook), Harper discovered this post and immediately started begging to bring him home...

Sadly, since the petting zoo at my house is currently at capacity, I had to tell her no, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't secretly consider it for a moment when I saw Rockie's adoption fee!
