We're "Baby"-sitting

So. . .
some neighbors moved and gave their little dog to another neighbor, who then left town for a week and asked us to watch the dog. I am NOT a dog person, but I figured I could handle this for a week. Of course the dog would just stay in the back, I was thinking. . .
It hasn't even been 48 hours yet. . .

Okay, this dog, named "Baby" (and it's a male--go figure); anyway, this dog is cute. And I think he likes me the best (don't tell my kids). And I don't really mind him being in the house (I never thought I'd ever think such a thing). The kids love him. And he doesn't bark!
No, we aren't getting a dog any time soon. But I find myself pleasantly surprised to have my opinions changed on the subject. I think I will be a little sad when it's time to give him back to his new owner.
