A New Addition

Drum Roll Please.....brrrmmddrrmdmrm
Today we are getting a puppy. DS has been wanting a dog for a long time now. If you ask him what kind of a dog he wants his answer is without a doubt a black Lab. This fall we went down to the river and met an awesome black labrador retriever. She was the most obedient dog I had ever seen, and it was there that it was set in a little boys mind that one day a dog like that would be his.
We have talked on and off about getting a dog. Well today is the day. It is one of those deals where you know God has a hand in it. In His perfect time. The puppy is four months old. A black Lab mix. FREE. Friendly. Currently in a home with two young children. We have the extra money to spend getting things set-up. We had a conversation at the beginning of the week with my brother-in-law who out of nowhere asked about DS getting a dog. lol
You want to talk about smiling eyes. DS was beaming when he heard the news. God is good.
So now it is off to the store to get the necessary supplies. I will post pictures of our newest addition as soon as I can.

We may have to come and visit this puppy of yours. Gabe has been begging for a dog forever. He asked Santa for one and got one....except it needed batteries instead of real food. The perfect dog for us. The best kind of dog to have, is somebody elses.
