Our New Family Member

Yesterday we got a Beagle puppy for our new family pet. We researched which breeds are best for small children and every site had Beagle on their list. Even the breeder I bought him from said they are kid-proof dogs. We can already tell he is so patient with David and tolerates all ear pulling, laying on, and chasing. The puppy actually enjoys the chasing. Last night they were playing a never ending game of tag and the puppy was it. He follows David and licks him and nudges David to pet him. It helps too that the breeder has five kids and the puppy has grown up with lots of little people to play with. Tyler and I can already tell he is going to be a great dog for us. And, so far he is really good about going potty outside. I can't get my camera to work on this computer Tyler has been messing with, so for right now you'll have to settle for a generic picture.
