I blame Brighty18 for this...
My children have been bugging me for a year (my husband is even worse than they are), but I was strong until I read brighty18's blogs about her dogs and how wonderful they are and then I went shopping today with hubby and saw these gorgeous black Labs...
Sigh.
I'm sure I've mentioned my lack of backbone before...
She is cute, though. :) And yes, she did do the damage to the mat.
