Robb and I have had kids for twenty years. We've had dancers and gymnasts and baseball players and volleyball players and Robb even road bulls for a few years but we've never had anyone break a bone until this week.

Now, if you would have asked me 6 months ago if I would have forked out a couple hundred dollars on a dog at the vet, I would have said no flipping way, but how quickly these little animals become a part of our family.
