Congratulations Eric and Lara!
Today my daughter turned eight. I wanted to mark her height on the wall, which we been doing since she was a toddler. But she had to leave for school. I gave her a robotic dog. I promised her a real puppy but that sort of thing takes a bit of time. My wife made appointments with two shih tzu breeders.
Told my daughter when the puppy comes home we need to put the robot away because we don’t want to give it bad dreams. She said if it is a boy she will name him Benny. My wife said she has a crush on a boy at school named Benny. (told my wife we aren’t naming the dog after a boy at school but still nice to know your child is normal and not some transgender freak. I always knew she is normal.).
We got a little white fluff-ball of a puppy a few weeks ago: I named him “Snowflake”.
