How far can love stretch...










I love my little family! I have the greatest man that I am so so lucky to have! James is amazing, he spoils me more than I deserve and is there for me like no one ever has been. I love him so so much. Then there are our kids, lol. They are covered in hair and don't speak a word of English... well unless I'm speaking for them :o). I love Wigger so so much! Strangest cat ever put on this earth, but he has his reasons. He's moody and likes his space, but when he wants to snuggle you better be ready for some head-butts and a heavy blob on your chest. Phoebe on the other hand hates to be left out of anything going on and will be a part of it whether invited or not. She loves showing off and can't live without her toys. Now when you combined Wigger and Phoebe it's quite a show. Wigger usually is extra annoyed and hisses and bats at Phoebe. While Phoebe barks and tries to get him to play. I love them both so so much and often find myself worrying if I pay equal attention to them both or if I've subconsciously chosen favorites.


Now we have a new baby coming! I'm so excited! We're getting a little boy beagle!! He's so so cute and I'm so excited to hold him and see him in person! I know he'll make a great companion for Phoebe and I'm sure he'll annoy Wigger even more than Phoebe does. It seems that this puppy will complete our little family for now and keep James and I too busy for our own good. I worry though... how far can love stretch? I don't want to pay less attention to Phoebe and Wigger, but I know that this new puppy will take some on that attention... and does attention = love?
I spoil my kids and I will spoil all three of them when our new little boy gets here, but it's funny where and when they get spoiled. Wigger gets water from the bathroom sink every morning and tuna juice anytime I make a sandwich. He gets belly rubs and long hugs and that's just the start of it, not to mention how James spoils him, which I know adds to the list. Phoebe gets toys and her own bed, treats for tricks and for just being cute, she sleeps with us, travels with us, even showers with us! So with all of those special times spent with our kids.... where will this new puppy fit in!? I hope he finds his little niche just like the other two have. I'm so excited to see him and Phoebe play and work as a team to torment Wigger! I'm excited for family pictures and fun Christmas cards!! I just hope that love stretches just far enough to keep everyone so so warm in my heart.
