Should they stay or should they go?

So, Grant forgot to mention that we have Bitz and Winky on a trail bases right now. We have a week to decide if we want to keep them or not. It is definitely going to be a hard decision. On the one hand they are really cute, don't bark, and sleep through the night. But, we do have to deal with Bitz biting every now and then, picking up poop on walks, and the responsibility of dealing with living beings other than ourselves. It is a responsibility that we are not sure we are ready for. As each day goes by, they get cuter and cuter and closer and closer to our hearts. But then I just have to remember Bitz finding some black shoe polish and chewing it yesterday...you can imagine.

We will keep you posted on what we decide. I am just glad the shelter has a trial period available. Here is a picture of Grant with the dogs. They really love him.

The morning before we got the dogs we went on a breakfast picnic to Sugar House park right down the road. Grant had won a gift card to a local coffee shop and I made egg and cheese bisquits. It was a beautiful morning (remember you southerners that it is actually cool at night and in the early mornings here, I know it is hard to believe). Grant took some great photos of the park that I am going to attempt to paint.

Dogs are both a lot of fun and a lot of work. While LA and I were on vacation we did not miss the responsibility of taking care of Artie but I can say that since we have been home I have been playing with him even more because it is so much fun being with him. Cats are much easier but not really as much fun. If you guys like jogging or going for walks (which I think you do) the dogs will just make you go more. The shedding sucks, though.
