We seem to be a home that lost dogs drift to. TJ had found a little chihuahua in our yard. So once again we took in a dog trying to find the owner. This was the first dog that we weren't able to find it's home. So after two weeks we took it to the Humane Society. Our kids cried and cried and cried, they were so heart broken. Since they did do a good job taking care of that dog and are getting older, we decided we'd start looking for our own dog. We wanted a bigger dog that could be outside, one that the kids could throw a ball and play with and the kids wanted one that would swim with them in the pool. So after a couple of months looking, we finally found a beautiful yellow lab puppy. The kids named her Daisy.
She's a sweet dog, very friendly and playful. And she loves loves loves the swimming pool. When the kids are swimming, she wants to join them and play. The problem is she tries to climb on top of them in the pool. So right now she can only swim when the kids are out of the pool, but she loves for them to throw a ball in the pool and she goes after it. She is just a puppy, so the chewing is a little out of control. She's chewed up our drip system in the back and torn everything out of my vegetable garden, even though we tried to put a fence around it. She's torn up our rug outside and if she can get a hold of the beach towels, she tears them up too. So we've still got some training to do, but she's learning fast.
The kids are still a little worried that she'll do something that will make me get rid of her. But hopefully she'll actually be a family pet to last!!

We're still cool and ready to go.
Josie only fell down three times, T.J. fell down once and Jimmy felt like he was going to fall down a lot. (I guess Ries has grown a lot since last time he was in that backpack.)
