What is in a pet?

Since the excitement of our new house, the girls constantly talk about what pet they get to have. Sierra is convinced that she is old enough to have a dog or a cat because she will be almost five, and will have a big house all the prior prerequisites that mommy once laid out. I (mommy) scramble to find a new thing that must be fulfilled before this pet enters our life, but since jesse is such a dog lover, and has wanted a dog since we got married, I know that i am fighting a losing battle. Alas.....
