We love our Snoopy!
I have to let everyone know how we came to get our dog. It really is kind of funny! Keep in mind, my husband is not an animal lover (here I am already talking bad about my husband when I just posted about not gossiping about our husbands!).
The kids had been asking if we could get a dog. Dad said no. He is just not an animal lover, never had pets as a kid. It was kind of an on-going joke.
Back in 2004, our local Meijer store was giving away free goldfish. Jason (my dh) says, we could get kids some fish, I guess like a starter pet? I went to Meijers and let each one pick out a goldfish (except the youngest, still a baby). Then I bought all the fishy stuff; tank, filter, food, etc...those free goldfish cost us about $70. This began our journey of pet ownership :o)
The kids start asking dad again about getting a dog. He made a deal with them. If they could keep all five goldfish alive for one whole year, then we will get a dog. Goldfish never last more than a few weeks, right?
He had no idea what good fish caretakers we are.
Exactly a year later, we took a trip to the dog pound and adopted our Snoopy. Dh is the one who picked him out. To this day, that dog follows him around, greets him at the door, etc....it really is funny :o)
By the way, we still have one of those fish left, he will be 4 years old in May.
