Meet Cosmo... The Newest Member Of Our Family

April 25, 2011
Yes it is true, I finally gave in and said yes to getting a dog! This all came about because of Aunt Becky, Elora and Taylor. It all started on April 16. We were in Idaho Falls, and Jada gets a call from Becky saying she found her a dog on KSL. This has been a vicious cycle for a few years now. Becky calls... Jada Begs... I say no... Jada cries :(. So Jada cried for 3 hours this time. I called becky back and told her she has to stop doing this to Jada. Finally, I think I am smart and tell Jada that it is between her and Dad. Well Dave wasn't to happy that I was making him be the bad guy, so he said yes :/. So... here we are with our new dog Cosmo!!
This nice couple graduated and were moving out of state. The apartment they are moving to does not allow pets. Plus they both got full time jobs, and didn't want to leave Cosmo sitting at home all day. So, we are so lucky that they have trained Cosmo so well. He is 4 years old, and very obedient. He also knows lots of tricks, and is fully potty trained. We lucked out. He is so good.
Bringing Cosmo home :)
Had to make a quick stop to get dog food, doggie treats,
and of course a new toy....
Jada has waited sooo long for this moment!
I think Cosmo has been getting a little too much lovin from Dawson :)
Cosmo is going to get fat with all the treats that Dawson is constantly giving him!
The owners gave us a lot of things, one of them was this little info packet. Dawson picked it up and said, "is this Cosmos bedtime stories?" I am sure Cosmo will definitely go to bed easily with this story!!

I know this is a crazy move for me, but it was time for our kids to get to experience owning a dog. They are all very excited, and I am so happy for them. I think Dave is also very happy :).

I love having a dog. Give him time and you will love him snuggling up to you as you watch tv. And when your kids sass you, he'll give you unconditional love. Congrats!

Wow! I can't believe you got a dog! You are such a nice mom--my kids have been begging for one too...but I just can't do it! They are soooo cute but kinda time consuming too?? You'll have to let me know how it goes!
