we just might have to get her a puppy…

The two little boys that I keep in the afternoons had a weeklong visit from their grandparents a couple of weeks ago. They came from Alabama with their two dogs and nine puppies. Julianna was in awe (as was I regarding them traveling seven hours in a car with eleven dogs). Anyway, she loved those little puppies and cared for them so easily. She would help carry them to their food and she would hold them timidly while she pet their soft fur. She loved playing with the gate to their makeshift pen and she's asked about them plenty since they've been gone. Here are a few pics that I got of her playing with the puppies.

Now she's been asking for a dog daily. Hopefully, we won't have to get a dog too soon. :)
