Talking Updated Photos?

I know there has to be some new pics of your beautiful Russian children, bio children or furry children!!

It really excites those of us who are waiting to see all the beautiful children who have "come home"!!!

I would post our furry children but don't know how to. Sorry!!

Thanks
Shay

Furry children - something I know a lot about finally!

First try at posting so here goes:

This is Bailey - we adopted her from a shelter after we found out we couldn't have children - She's a riot!

Too Cute!!

I am assuming they are labs? We have a lab as well, she would bet her life that she is human!! Sometimes we think she is!

Both have some lab in them we think - Bailey on right is a cross between a white shepherd (so we were told) and possibly a hound/lab - she definitely has the hound ears! Clancy's mom was an Australian shepherd and the dad was a shepherd/Rottweiler/lab mix - all his littermates looked like Rotties except for him!

They definitely think they are lap dogs!!!

Here's the original pic of Bailey - making herself comfy in the future nursery.

how cute are they!!! We have two black labs too, one is a working dog so he is w/ me 24/7. Labs are so much fun, but I have a feeling we may have some jealousy issues when the baby comes home!

And our first "child" Clancy - who usually "herds" our friends kids to keep them close to their parents - kind of funny! Here he is hanging out on FIL's boat.

Cat

I forgot to mention we have a cat also! He is definetly a momma's boy! You want to talk about jealous, wow he is going to be terrible. He has already let us know by tearing up some of the border in the baby's room! Good thing I love him! LOL

I think you are right on the jealousy thing - Clancy is great with kids but I wonder how great he will be when ours doesn't leave! We had a scare last week with Bailey - she had a seizure/convulsion so we rushed her to the Vet - she is ok now but they think she might be epileptic. I said to DH who needs children when we have all the highs and lows with our dogs!!! There is a book out there - something like " if you want to be a parent - get a dog first" - How true!!
