Dog: Max (black lab mix, male)(4)Jon and Katie have been busy with Eli, but are, on the whole, enjoying parenthood. For Katie's 24th birthday, Jon decided to surprise her with a trip to the animal shelter to pick out a dog! Katie always wanted a dog, but her parents felt that pets (of any variety) were unnecessary. With Jon and Eli's input, Katie picked out a black lab mix named Max. Max is very friendly and has had some prior training--Jon quickly learned that Max responded to such commands as come, stay, shake, and fetch. Eli has loved having Max in the house--even if Max does knock him over sometimes (by accident, of course).

-D/S: Colette Anais Maude / Julius Howard Maude [2]Cat: Joy [9mo]The twins are as different as night and day! Colette is more rambunctious, while Julius is usually seen with his nose in a book. Both are quite close to Joy the cat. Joy was adopted from the shelter six months ago, and now, as the twins approach their second birthday, Nic is planning on having another child in a year's time...

DH [22] Pascal Ignaas Klein
DW [23] Bronwen Jennifer Klein (nee Jacobs)DD [1] Diantha Winifred Klein “Di”DDog [7mo] BeeThe dog was Pascal’s idea. That’s how Bronwen, who is a cat person, explains away Bee, a German Shepherd puppy the Klein family recently adopted. Pascal, who has always had a dog in the house, thought that Bee would be a good companion for little Di, who just turned one. Bronwen wanted a cat, too, but after talking it over, they decided one pet at a time would be enough. So far, Di and Bee get along pretty well. Bee’s a big dog, though, and keeps getting bigger, while Di is still tiny - there are many dog-baby collisions. Bronwen’s been keeping her hours at the florist’s down, just until they can get Di into a preschool in a couple years. As for Pascal, he finishes his undergrad program very soon!

Taylor had always wanted a dog. Dominic love animals as well, but wasn't sure it was the right time for them to add a pet to their family. He couldn't say no though when Taylor introduced him and Elliot to an adorable puppy. The dog is a female and they named her Bess.

Six months ago Stefan and Anya decided it was ready to expand their family again. Since they both had dogs growing up it was important to them that they gave that same opportunity to their daughter.
They bundled Octavia into her buggy one day and off they went to the shelter looking to give a dog a forever home. With a toddler to look after, Anya wasn't particularly looking for a young dog that would need training but one of the first pens they come across has three energetic six month old puppies in. Octavia is out of the buggy before you could say "SIT" and has her little face pushed up against the mesh. While two of the puppies bark - completely terrified of this small human - the smallest meets her at the gate and gives her face a big lick through the metal.
Anya drags Octavia away because they're not looking for a puppy. But 45 minutes later after walking round the entire shelter, nobody has quite captured their hearts like the dog in that first pen. They head back and sign the forms for him. Two weeks later the Lovejoys are bringing "Roy" home [Octavia's choice - Anya thinks she was trying to say 'boy']. Meet Roy: http://www.warrenphotographic.co.uk/photography/bigs/09195-Cross-breed-pup-white-background.jpgSix months later, Anya and Stefan and Octavia have just celebrated Roy's first birthday. He's totally in love with Octavia and the two play together all day. Despite the occasional tantrum, Anya finds Octavia easier to handle as a toddler than a baby. She's learning to communicate and the pair have a strong bond with Stefan and Anya both disciplining from the same page. Life is looking good for the Lovejoys.

DDog[2]: CocoWhen Lily is 18 months, Henry and Alice decide to buy Coco, a cute dog who little Lily adored from first sight. And Coco loves Lily back, which is a relief. And things are hard for the couple now as they hate leaving Lily behind at the toddler playhouse each day. She goes there because it is much cheaper then a Nanny. They find it even harder now as they have to drop off Coco at the day kennels. They can't leave her in the house, alone, all day!

DW[26]: Margot Alexandrie BonhommeDS[1]: Chadwick Samuel 'Chad' ThurstanDCat[1]: Madge Thurtstan One day, Jim and Margot decides to visit the local pet shelter and adopted a year old Maine Coon. Margot names her Madge because the cat somehow reminds her a headstrong, independent woman in the 1940's. Initially, Jim was worried that Madge wouldn't warm up to Chad but the two became fast friends! After having Chad, Jim and Margot didn't expect their lives to change to drastically. The couple now rely on each other more than ever, in order to properly bring up their son.

DDog [7m]: BlakeAnnabelle is now 18 months old, and Felix and Jess have decided to adopt a pet! They decided on a sheltie for its intelligence and companionship, and when Felix and Jess took a trip to the humane society to find one, Jess set her heart on a handsome amber-and-white sheltie puppy with a waggly tail and sparkling eyes. The humane society had named him Blake Sheltie, a play on Blake Shelton’s name, but Felix and Jess agreed that they should shorten it to Blake for the sake of Annabelle being able to say it.Blake is very good around Annabelle, and she loves it when he licks her face and snuggles with her. Felix and Jess are also teaching her how to play with Blake, as well as simple tasks like brushing. Life is a little more hectic for Felix and Jess now that they have a toddler and a dog to take care of, but they’re getting through it.

When Adeline is 18 months old, Nova and Stetson adopt a Chinese Crested dog, whom they name Puff. Puff is very eager to play with Adeline, and the two sometimes cause trouble together! Now that she is back in work, Nova has started dropping Adeline off at the daycare. Nova misses her baby during the day, but she must continue her job to make money to care for her. Adeline loves babbling and exploring the apartment room, which seems big to a little girl like her! She still is fussy and a bit energetic, but loves her mom and dad and is quick to obey. Both parents love seeing their baby grow and change each day. So far, everything is great!
