Meet our newest family member - Rex! Rex was picked up yesterday by my parents and will be spending the week in Des Moines until we go to pick him up next weekend. He is a Yorkshire Terrier. I know, I know, you are thinking, "Why did they get a Paris Hilton dog with two boys?" And the answer my friends, is simple.
Little dog = Little messes
And with Georgie (a.k.a. the messiest kid ever) living here, I have enough messes to deal with. Oh, and also I grew up with Yorkies, so I kind of know what to expect. Plus, since I'm the one who will inevitably end up taking care of the little guy, I thought I should get to choose.
And here is a little story that I tell people that is apparently hilarious, so I thought I'd post it here. This conversation occurred last spring as we were driving in the car.
HENRY - Mommy, can we get a cat?
ME - No, we can't get a cat.
HENRY - Why not?
ME - Well, I'm kind of allergic to them, but Daddy is REALLY allergic to them.
HENRY- Oh. (thinks this over). If Daddy dies, can we get a cat?
ME - (Cannot believe this conversation is happening). (Sighs). Yes, Henry. If Daddy dies, we can get a cat.
HENRY - (Nods). Okay. Thanks.

I love Yorkies. Especially when they are puppies. They have the cutest teddy bear faces.
I love Mom and Kay's side conversation about Charlie having radar ears when he was a puppy, ha ha.
Ang, you'll have to put the one of him playing with the raccoon up sometime!
