Our Little Addition

We have a new member of the Cottrell family. Yes folks, we got a dog! Anyone who knows me at all will be surprised since I am quite passionate about my dislike of pets of any kind. It doesn't make me a bad person, just because I don't like getting licked and/or jumped on by a dog when I go to your house. I don't even try to pretend anymore, I just push the cat/dog away as soon as they come near me.
But that's neither here nor there, because now we have a dog of our very own. First, a back story. My niece recently got a very cute dog from a some very dysfunctional owners (they wanted to have weekly visitation with the dog after they gave it to me niece--see what happens when you like pets?? You become crazy!). Her name is Kelsi. My niece takes her everywhere with her so my kids have gotten some good face time with the dog. I can't explain how much they love this dog. Molly talks about her all the time. If my niece is coming over Molly asks if Kelsi is coming too. Amos finds a ball and says it's Kelsi's ball. They are in love.
And so, now it's time to introduce you to our new dog:

Her name? Kelsi, of course. Kelsi apparently had an unfortunate accident at some point in her life--she now has four wheels instead of legs. Molly doesn't mind. I think she is practically perfect in every way. She doesn't shed, bark, or jump up and lick anything. Plus she can go for days without eating or drinking anything! Sometimes Molly makes her a bed on the floor and sometimes she is stuffed in the toy box, all with no complaint. Really, you couldn't ask for a better pet.
