So before you get too excited, no I am not preggers ~ that would be a TOTALLY different post titled, WOMAN GONE MAD;) We have adopted a dog by the name of Snickers. It is a situation that we really didn't expect to have but it has happened and this is how it came to be:
This past Saturday we took a family trip to Sam's, those of you that know us well know that we LOVE LOVE LOVE Sam's it is not just a trip but a shopping experience full of fun, food and the seasons best toys for us all! We picked up a bunch of things we needed and lots of stuff that we didn't and decided with a car full of food we really needed to eat out at Moe's?!!! We went and had what else but cheese dip and burritos ~ the entire family was in culinary delight, seriously! As we finished I suggested that we go to PetSmart to look at animals ~ we never do this and well, I thought it would be fun. I didn't think that we would walk in to meet our future dog but hey, it worked out that way:) We were looking at birds, cats and some sort of rat things and then we saw her... It was meant to be ~ Snickers the dog and William met face to face (rather cage to face). William sat next to her for seemingly ever and pet her in the calmest manner I have ever seen!!! It was truly a sight, our little boy found him a friend and honestly so did I. When we left (yes, we left without her) William asked what would happen to her and we told him that she would go to a good home... His direct quote was, "but we have a really good home and would love her".... How can you resist?? He made a valid point and that we did, give her a good home and we do love her. She is a survivor of heartworms and living alone so the least we could do is give a nice place to live and try to tolerate her jumping and chewing of stuffed animals:) She is getting better, we are working with her and the kids seem to really love her. William likes to get her to lick Grace because Grace hates it, it is a win win for boy and dog! So, if you see that I am a bit dark circled under the eye it is not due to barking or children waking ~ that would be due to my husband and the dog both SNORING in my ear every night;) So, sweet dreams to all of you from our family to yours!!!
