My wife and I have no kids.  Until we do, we plan on showering an inordinate amount of affection on our puppy (we call her a puppy even though she’s two years old).  Here is a nice slideshow of our little girl.

Her name, by the way, is Freckles and she is a Border Collie (i.e., too smart for her own good) mutt.  We got her from an animal rescue agency in North Carolina.
