I'm probably going to regret this....

Look at my forehead...is there a big sign that says SUCKER on it?? Because I went to Petco to get dog food and ended up leaving with THIS...

{ Definitely not dog food... }

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Hurley, the latest addition to the Casa de Cline. Yup....because if life with 3 kids and 2 dogs wasn't hectic enough, lets add a friggin guinea pig to the mix! The more the merrier! Or is it misery loves company? Either way...

You see, here's what happened. We went to Petco for dog food and unbeknownst to me, it was pet adoption day! NO NO NO NO NO!! Anyone who knows me knows that I can't say no to any animal. I can't help it...I'm a SUCKER softie. I can't even watch that dang ASPCA commercial without crying. Dang Sarah Maclachlan and her heart wrenching voice!!

So there I was, surrounded by mewing kittens and playful pups...all giving me their cute eyes and sloppy puppy kisses...I was breaking. And fast!! 2 more minutes and I would have been coming home with a new dog. No joke.We were almost to the register, when we saw him. Hurley, staring at us with those bambi eyes from behind his cage, BEGGING us to take him home. How could I say no to this??


Obviously I couldn't say no.

S-U-C-K-E-R.




So welcome to la familia Hurley....

and Happy Monday to the rest of you!!

  3. Bahaha omgosh. This is hysterical. I'm only laughing at you because in a few years, I too, will lack that very same willpower. I'm so thankful that my son is 11 months old and can't quite beg for these things yet... And Hurley? Totes has a rockin' faux-hawk. Rock on, Hurley! And welcome to the family :)

  9. Aw, I think the guinea pigs are so cute, and my dog loves to watch them whenever we make our dog food trip (thankfully I've never succumbed to bringing one home). I love lil Hurley!

    Thanks for the running shoe affirmation. I had great shoes... well, they were great shoes when I got them 5 years ago, but they'd kinda lost their everything when it came to helping me run. Still breaking the new ones in, but I have high hopes for them!

    And yeah, MacGyver and I both JUMP to change the channel every time that ASPCA commercial comes on. When I was pregnant and it came on, it was OVER.

  14. OHMYGOSH! I LOOOOVE guinea pigs! I just love how soft they are and all the little swirls all over their bodies and the cute little squeaky noise they make! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! I had one when I was little and called it my "skinny pig". Lol! I tried to talk Kyle into letting me get Logan one but he shot me down. No pets for us. :(

  16. I think you & I have the same thing written on our foreheads!

    I dont know why but I give in every time the hubs wants to get a new tortoise...I dont even really like reptiles *shaking head*. We've had 4, now only have 1 but this thing is growing fast & I have no clue what we're going to when it's eating an entire head of lettuce versus a cup full.
