Rex

It did not take us long to realize we needed to heal our kids hearts and finding another dog was exactly what we needed! We looked for a few days and actually found 2 but there was no way we were getting two puppies. We ended up finding this cute little guy he is a toy Poodle and he is very cute! We are allergic to most dogs but not poodles-they don't shed. The kids are just loving him and we are finally starting to get him trained! We named him Rex. We still wish we could have our Rusty back but realize that is not possible. So here we go again with a new puppy and all that not so fun stuff that come with them!! We are all feeling much better and love our little Rexy!! (Now if he could just hurry up and get potty trained!!)

Thanksgiving

Let's just say it wasn't our best Thanksgiving this year! The day before Thanksgiving our sweet little dog Rusty ran out in the road in front of our house and got ran over and died. I was at work Jake was home and had to tell the kids! At least they did not see it happen. This was VERY difficult! Everyone just started crying and crying it was really sad! I never thought that we were "one of those dog people" but we totally are! We just LOVED our Rusty and still miss him Daily! Every morning he would run into our room and jump in our bed looking for me if I wasn't there he would lay in my spot! On the days I did not work I would take him on a walk in the mornings he loved that. Every time we came home he would run around jumping all over us because he was so excited to see us! It is strange to me to see the daily things this little dog did to just make us smile and feel loved. This made us all a little sad for Thanksgiving! We celebrated by going to Jake's parents house and we had a good time ate lots and played around. I was thinking how Thank-full I am to just be a family!
