Sadie

Every night for the last two years Josh has been saying in his prayers.  "Please bless that my Mom and Dad will have a softened heart and get us a Dog."

This little boy has had one HARD year.  Not only did he get diagnosed with Asthma, which his medication has made him gain some weight, and he had to get glasses, he spent most of the year Blind.  He has a teacher who YELLS and isn't very loving.  And he has had a bully all year who is relentless.  In fact I had two of the kids in his class tell me how horrible Josh is being treated and then I had a few parents call telling me how upset their kids are for how bad Josh has been treated by this child.  Luckily I finally got into the Principal and we are working things out.  And hopefully we can do alot of damage control to help him go into 4th grade stronger then ever. 

 With all that is going on in our little family right now Ryan and I felt it was time to try the dog thing again.  Although Jake our last dog almost killed us.  We are praying that this time she wont be aggressive and bite.  She came from a good Mom who was loved and taken care of so as long as we train her right it should all be good right?

When I got the call she was ready it was the weekend of the Father son Camp out.  Ryan and the boys have been looking forward to this for a long time and I knew if we got the puppy 1. they wouldn't want to go or 2. they would insist on taking her.  Which both would be a pain.  So I decided to go get her after they had left and we would surprise the boys when they got home.   Their reaction what better then I could of predicted. 

Josh is such a sweet loving boy.  I appreciate he 1st thought to thank us for the puppy before he even played with her.  He tears were a testament of his tender heart.

Now it will be a challenge to get her trained the way we want.  The boys haven't left her side.  She is such a darling little puppy.  Very playful and very loving.  Gavin is afraid of her because she likes to bite but hopefully he will grow out of that soon.  And hopefully she will stop crying all night soon.  I was so looking forward to just sleeping the whole time the boys were gone.  But sadly I got less sleep then I have in a long time because little Sadie cried all night long.  I think I may loose my mind.  But again it's so worth it for my little boys happiness.  They are such great boys. And all boys deserve a dog right.  I wish it didn't have to be a fluffy one but with our allergies beggars can't be choosers.
