Parents to a Puppy

We've been talking about getting a dog since the day we decided to move from New York City to Tucson. Now that we live in a house with our own back yard, it's perfect for our new puppy Tucker! On Sunday we took a visit to the Pima County Animal Shelter. We should have known it would be impossible to walk out of the shelter without taking a dog with us! Tucker is a two month old chocolate lab mix (his mom was a chocolate lab, and we're still speculating on what breed his dad was). We're in the middle of potty training, which is a challenge in and of itself! Let's just say Tucker is enough responsibility for both of us for a while;)
