Okay, do you remember the gold fish disaster from last year? Well, apparently we don't either because we just took on a not so low maintenance pet. Some friends were moving and couldn't take their dog with them, so we now have a two year old golden retriever. His name is Walker and he is pretty calm but not quite out of the puppy stage because we have already lost two stuffed animals and couple of tennis balls to his chewing ability and we just got him last night.
The kids seem to like him pretty well, Nicole and Parker are outside playing with him right now. Maris can't leave him alone, she follows him where ever he goes. Hopefully he likes having a little shadow.
We will try to make sure that he does not suffer the same fate as the goldfish (we killed about six of them). He should make for an interesting addition to our family.
