When we decided to move to Argentina, the kids needed a little something to get them excited about the move. Jared decided this little something would be a dog, and Emma was ready to go! Well, 9 months later that dog, turned into 2 dogs! We have a 3 month old female yellow lab (Tina, from Argentina) and a 2 month old male mutt (Mickey, from Mickey Mantel or Mickey Mouse, depends on which family member you ask). They are best buddies and we are doing our best to take care of them and get used to them. Emma is mommy, of course. Annie is mommy too. She learned quickly how to swat them, and does it even when nothing has happened (I guess she finally has someone she can boss around). Dallin and Ginger have taken some time to warm up. At first they were very scared and ran or hid. Now, they will go outside if we go together and will pet them if there is "help" nearby. This has been a big undertaking for me, and day #2 I was ready to send them back. Now it's been a few weeks and I think they'll stick around awhile, but now that I have 6 "kids" I'm crazier than ever!
