Second child?

Are you kidding me?!? I'm not ready for another kid, but my son used to ask me all the time about having a baby. I don't know why, but it started to get on my nerves. I have a lot of friends from work and school who are out there getting married and having more kids. I, on the other hand, am focused on finishing school (then onto the next), and getting into work full-time. My son's only 5, so I am not prepared to explain to him why mommy isn't having a baby.

So here's my solution:
This is Bandit. He's 8 years old. We're in the process of adopting him from Nittany Beagle Rescue. My mom had been looking into getting another beagle for awhile, she was just waiting around for the right one.

And honestly, Bandit is like a baby when you think about it. He get's into things he shouldn't, he has accidents everywhere, and he has to be taken out every 4 hours. Oh, and he reminds you when it's time to eat by barking non-stop.

Since we've gotten Bandit, my son has stopped asking about me having a baby (whew!). My son even calls Bandit his little brother!
