142/365 Our new dog

Meet Chloe, the latest addition to our family. She's been very well-behaved and has adapted quickly to life at our house.Mom and I saw her in an art gallery in Boulder, Colorado, and we knew we had to take her home with us. She actually holds a small flower pot, but we haven't found the perfect one for her yet.

After we bought her, we called Dad that evening and said, "Guess what? We bought a dog!"

He's grown accustomed to our jokes and buying habits after this many years, so he wasn't even remotely alarmed. "Okay... so what is it really?"

"A dog! And we've named her Chloe."

"Alright... sounds like you guys are having fun, then."

[Sigh.]

Where's the fun in that?
