Happy holidays!
Izzy and I have been talking about what we hope to get this year. Personally, I’d love a new ball. This time of year, many families get a little bigger by bringing a new dog into their pack. In my opinion, every house should have at least two dogs, but pets shouldn’t be an impulsive gift. If you’re thinking about bringing a dog home for the holidays, here are a few things to keep in mind. Check your budget first.

Adopt! A great way to make sure a dog’s personality will be suited to your family is by adopting your new friend from a local animal shelter. The staff will be familiar with the dogs, so they can tell you who wants to go on long walks, who just wants to snuggle, and who’s good with cats and kids. We recommend the PAWS Shelter of Central Texas, which is located in Kyle. They have tons of wonderful dogs waiting to meet you! Whether you get a dog this year or decide to wait, we wish you a very happy holidays, from our pack to yours! Izzy & Emma
