I have wanted a "big" dog for some time...a Rotti to be exact. Carlos however, was not into that. Months ago I told him then we should get a Black Lab, it was the closest thing I could think of to a Rotti, except known to be family dogs - that was one of his concern. Bear, our little Maltese, had to be put down in August because of cancer and I really missed him and missed having a dog around. Friends need a dog sitter and were also looking to re-home Holly, so I volunteered to doggy sit, thinking I'd get my doggy fix. After a week, Carlos decided we could keep her.
I had really struggled before with being content not having a dog and at this point, I was content and grateful where God had us. So it was just wonderful when I could take my gratefulness up another level. I have been enjoying taking her to doggy playdates and the dog park and our walks. The kids are split on this: Mia is not a dog person so she's not impressed, Aliyah is torn - happy and loves dogs but afraid to get attached again and loose her, Mikayla, DJ and Ari are Ms/Mr Dog Whisperer and taking charge and keeping Holly in her place while loving her.
Welcome Holly to Our Blessed & Blended Family!
