It has been a nutsy 5 days here. We have a PUPPY! Wow! Yes, a new puppy.
Our beloved German Shepherd doggie Jake died at the end of January unexpectedly, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts. My husband was heartbroken (he raised Jake from a puppy), and the children were left without their buddy playmate.
The last 2 months have been a healing process for us, and months in which the children have been longing for another pet to play with and love.
Fast track to this last weekend...we went to our local pet store to see what kind of pets they had at the weekly pet adoption. There was a little black Labrador mix female with the saddest eyes just laying there quietly in one of the pens. The kiddies saw her, and fell in love.
5-month old Dixie is loving her new forever home. Her fav place to lay is on the couch, her fav snack is an ice cube, so she can chew it, and bat it around the living room.
My new duties? Getting used to puppyland (WOW! She is ENERGETIC!), primarily. Thankfully, she is mostly housebroken.
Which means, posting every few days has become a new way of life for me, instead of every day.
Never fear, virtual readers! I shall return later this week with more exciting things...maybe a recipe. Maybe a household tip. Maybe a new Dixie story! I'll try to post some pics later of our new puppy. For some reason, pics don't want to upload from this machine.
Later gators!
