"Can we get a dog... please!"

The only (and therefore, the most exciting) pets in our house are our 2 goldfish, which we have only because we got "stuck" with them at a Christmas white elephant gift exchange. It wasn't surprising, then, that we constantly found ourselves having to pry our girls away from the dogs they got to spend time with during our whirlwind tour of Virginia. The most favorite, of course, were Cavu (pictured above with Grace) & Cassie. I'm sure it will be some time before we stop hearing the question, "Can we get a dog... please?!!"
