In 2007 we had our baby girl, in 2008 we had our baby boy, in 2009 we… got a puppy!

Crazy? Maybe a little, but so much fun too! We got a labradoodle this summer, her name is “Cash”. Raising a two year old, a one year old, and now a puppy is exhausting. So many mouths to feed, messes to clean, and don’t even get me started on all the poop! If this puppy didn’t make my two kids so happy I would be having serious issues. But, my kids adore Cash! Sometimes they love her too much. They squeeze her, hug her, pat her, pet her, pull her tail, kiss her, ride her. (I swear this isn’t puppy abuse right?) Cash is a great puppy and is so soft with the kids even through all this torture. We have been doing lots of puppy training, but I feel like we need to train our kids on how to enjoy their new puppy! Any tips on having a puppy and little kids?
