I'm getting a dog!!

So I've wanted a dog for a long time now, but never really thought I was ready for one. Well, whether I'm ready for one or not, I'm getting one. Meet Bandit. A beautiful, 2-year old Golden Retriever. I pick him up this weekend. :) I'm so excited too. We're already enrolled in obedience school and I'm attempting to doggie proof my house. I have a feeling I'm going to be in for a ride, but I'm totally up for the challenge. I'm going to whip him into shape, and I know he'll do the same for me.
