Doggy contemplation

I don't think the younger of the two Bickerson children would make the ideal pet owner yet but I've been thinking about adding a dog or two to the family mix. 14+years with Bucket and 12 with Ed gave was a long, good time. It's only been two and a half years that we've been a doggy-free family and I don't want it to stay that way much longer. As nice as it would be to get the "perfect" puppy somewhere, there are way too many guys like these needing homes. But I think we need to wait a bit longer to make sure Tikka won't terrorize the adoptee.
