Joey Visits

The Blakes have a new family member....Joey the labradoodle! We have been very anti-dog around here. First and foremost because of Cade's allergies...secondly because neither Matt or I want to mess with one as we already have our hands full. However, the boys have been asking for one. I am thinking that MAYBE we will do it in a couple of years. Cade is going through allergy injections right now and we will have to reassess after that. In the meantime, we have been talking to people about hypo-allergenic dogs that are good with kids and the labradoodle seems to be a top contender. Avery also has allergies, so the Blakes took the plunge. They were going to be gone over night, so we offered to keep him. It went pretty good!!

Carson didn't get that if you ran, he was going to chase you! At one point, he latched onto the back of his shirt and ripped his Cardinals jersey. Matt and I were laughing so hard that we couldn't even help him.

Cannon loves dogs...from a far! He didn't like Joey to get all rowdy with him. A couple of times, Cannon fell down while trying to get away from him and Joey would jump on him. He kept trying to play peek a boo with him...very funny!

Cade liked him, as long as I was holding him or he was settled down. Luckily, his allergies were fine and no break outs or asthma flare ups.

Carson really did the best with him....this picture is so sweet and ALMOST makes me want to get a dog.

However, no matter how good he was, we've determined that our little monkies are just not ready for a dog, and quite frankly, neither am I! We'll settle for visits with Joey for a while!
