Little Visitor


Picture from my phone (sorry it's blurry)

So, this sweet little puppy showed up on our doorstep yesterday. The boys were playing in their inflatable pool, attempting to cool off for awhile, and I was sitting on the drive in the shade reading a book when all of a sudden there was a dog's head lying on my lap. She was just looking up at me with this hopeful expression. So, what was I to do? If I just turned her away and left her outside, she would most likely be hit by a car before week's end. We chose instead to bring her inside, spoil her rotten and try to find her owner. Last night we completely canvased our neighborhood with no luck. It seems to be a general consensus that the dog was left off in our neighborhood and does not have a home any longer. As we were driving around, Joel kept saying that he thought we should just give up. His view is that God sent us this dog, just for him to love. If our situation were different, we'd keep her. She seems to be a great family dog and very well mannered. Seriously sweet and loving, very sociable. The only one not thrilled with her presence is our cat, Gabe. He is still adjusting to the idea. It is just not a possibility for us to keep her.

So, if you want a sweet little puppy in your life, give me a call. She needs a good home (not ours)before the end of the week! Until then, we will consider her a much loved foster dog.
