It all started with a bet thrown down by my husband, Jimmy.
If I ran thirteen miles, I could bring home our first family dog-any kind of dog I wanted.
The perfect dog.
Like every other decision in my life, this required hours of research and planning, complete with a last-minute flight to Chicago in a blizzard.
Countless emails to various breeders across the country eventually led me to Brody, a show-quality wire-haired fox terrier puppy with champion lineage.
But my plans changed as Brody's bad behavior and multitudinous medical mishaps took us for a wild ride.

How living with a terrible terrier taught me to embrace life's imperfections.
