Synchroblog.

Hello!  Do y'all know Courtney of Chaos Theory?  Please go check out her blog NOW.  A few weeks back, she proposed the idea of synchro-blogging, where a group of bloggers get together and blog about the same topic every other week.  Under the name of "Those Who Blog Together..." Courtney has created a cool feature within the blogosphere and I am excited to play along.


This week's topic is pets.  My husband and I currently do not have any pets, although I jokingly mention every now and again that cleaning up after him is like cleaning up after a little puppy.  He's a messy little guy sometimes.  But we're pet-less, child-less city dwellers, and animals are not allowed in our building. We also work crazy hours and have come to the conclusion that we really wouldn't feel comfortable leaving a dog at home for 8-10 hours a day by itself.  


However, I do love (most) animals, and my family has the most loving, beautiful yellow lab in the world:  Maggie.

Growing up, we did not have any pets.  My mom was always allergic, so minus the occasional goldfish that one of us kids won at the fair, we never had pets.  When I was in college, and my mom's allergies subsided, my parents bought a dog, and the family hasn't been the same since.  We are all head over heels in love with this little lady, who gives you kisses when you're feeling sad and gets SO excited to meet new people.  My siblings and I joke that Maggie is really our parents' favorite child:)  We just love her.

Do you have any pets?  If so, tell me about them! 

And P.S.  The winner of the giveaway for the "My Heart Belongs" magnet is:
