We need a dog

This is what I have decided today, that we need a dog. I mean really, Really, REALLY NEED one. Unfortunately, will be at least another 3 years before we can think of having one. Why do we need one? Let's just say it has something to do with cleaning up toddler-cracked eggs for the second time in one week . . . I guess we could make do with a lock for the refrigerator.
