"Mom - getting a puppy has changed my life!"

Jason got out of the bath tonight and told me getting a puppy has changed his life. He was very serious about it. Top reasons a puppy has changed Jasons life:
1 - He has someone to run around with and chase him.
2 - We didnt have to train any of our other pets (the lizard, hamster and fish) and we have to train the puppy.
3 - She is lots of fun.
4 - She will hide in forts with him.
5 - She follows him everywhere.
6 - She has gotten her sharp little puppy teeth into him already.
7 - She is always happy to see him.

I had started looking for a dog. Ruth and Rod have been telling me that they are so surprised I had not gotten a dog yet. So I started looking in hopes of finding something by Jasons birthday. I went to the Santa Cruz SPCA and found this little lab mix. She is very cute. And she and Jason are in love. I am enjoying it as well.















A great 4th of July addition. I guess I am not in very many of these shots... The first five nights she pretty much kept me up all night not liking being in her crate. And it has taken her a week to accept she needs to go potty where I want her to go potty. She is a pretty strong willed girl. But she has met her match I can assure you! She is very smart and we are loving having her here with us and she is learning very quickly.
