As a guilty working mother, I always made promises to my kids.  Sure I’ll take you to the park, yes we can go to the mall Wednesday night and definitely we can go to the amusement park this weekend. And the weeks would come and go and we were so busy playing living life and playing sports that I never fulfilled a lot of my promises.

 

But, this time it was different. I promised Megan I would get her a dog. Megan was sick at two months of age with viral meningitis and suffered developmental delays. Megan really never asked for anything but sneakers.  How do I say NO?  But then again how do I say YES?  We already are a crazy busy family and now we need to throw a dog into the mix.

 I started some research and we decided as a family we would purchase a Coton de Tulear. This is a small white hypoallergenic dog with cotton like hair originally breed in Madagascar. But, I found a breeder in New Jersey and they had a litter due in April.  Perfect! Megan will have a puppy just in time for her birthday.
