A dog lover (almost)

I got a dog.  Really I thought this was a good idea.  I have a husband, a five year old and a class of five year olds and I thought you know what I need, I need another helpless thing in my life that wants attention.  So I got a dog.  I'm blaming the child she had more all hyped up about getting a dog that I forgot she is not actually going to help me at all at all.  My husband warned me and I hate that he was right so right the rightess he has ever been.  So I got a dog.  Really I got a dog?
