We have a new baby at our house.
Not to worry, it is furry and has 4 legs.
Still Justin is wondering if I have lost my mind!
...And to ease the mind of those of you still thinking we may adopt a real baby while we are here. Not going to happen. Haiti has very strict rules and would not allow a family with 6 kids to adopt...ever. Period. End of story and we just feel blessed to get to love on so many children while we are here. We are supposed to go to the orphanage again tomorrow and are so looking forward to it.
Back to the dog, most of our neighbors don't have guards or barbed wire like we do, they just have really mean dogs who snarl at you when you walk by. We thought we may want a dog too. We looked at Rotweillers yesterday, but the owner would not even let their parents out of the cage "because they may not be nice to the kids". So we decided on this guy...
Doesn't she look ferocious!
We decided to name her Talkeetna. Before Justin and I were even married we wanted a huge dog named Talkeetna (a city in Alaska with a really cool name). Because she is a lot smaller than the dog we had originally imagined we will call her Tally for short. She is a 4 month old black lab. And the kids are elated!

This guy has been wanting a dog since we adopted him and he is elated!
Tomorrow I think we are going to get a cat. Justin opened a drawer in the kitchen tonight only to find one in the drawer. Gross! The C-A-T will not be joining us back in CO, in fact if you know me at all, you are shocked we are even considering it! I just hope we can find a good mouser.
He is so adorable and the kids look so happy to have a puppy. I love the name too.
ReplyDeleteSo cute...I am happy that BT finally got his dog, he so loved Buddy! :)
