I've got a new dog! (3 Viewers)

[Mike Frezon]

When we got home it took Bethany a short bit to realize we were at her new home. I gave the girl a hug to let her know all was well. She was real happy when we got inside. I hope after a month or so of this she will be better about car trips and leaving the house.

You're doing terrific, James! Keep that up and she'll be just fine.

And I bet no one will want to miss out on a car ride anymore (knowing they'll end up at the park!).

Thanks that's so nice. I'm so exhausted at moments. But a good shower, wash off the sweat from just that trip to the park... I'm getting thinner and thinner. They are like I just got 2 kids after a failed marriage that lasted only a few weeks and we had kids in that time and they grew into to loving but abnoxious little tikes. I want to put one in the playpen with wooden blocks and make the other sit on the couch next to me with a coloring book.

I got them some stuff today. A kitchen rug (really for me) and some bacon treats to go in the kong toys. They have not bothered with peanut putter or their regular food in kongs. Also a bunch of raw hyde rolls that just get them going again! madness!

Sidenote: yesterday and today I ordered Gumby dvd volumes with bendable Pokey and the one with the blockheads. NEVER leave those on top of your dresser where they can fall off. In their defense pokey wasn't that damaged and I needed to replace that blockhead because of an exposed wire away. Funny that was the one! I also got the low rated movie blu from the 1990s.

Three of my 4 kids enjoying the sun today. Was on Poop Duty with the shovel when they got together like this out in the sun so I dropped the shovel and ran in for the camera. I didn't pose this in the least.

Man I love my kids.

And the treats I was holding!

The trouble with the video is I had to chose between loving and laughing at it. I decided I loved it more than it made me laugh. It put a big grin on my face.

Two pieces of news tonight.

The first is that Ernie has celebrated a significant milestone:

Ernie also celebrates a birthday in a couple weeks. Details on that as events warrant!

Piece of news #2!

ERNIE (left) AND PETE (right) HAVE A NEW SISTER!

Meet Sophie!

Sophie is going through quite a transition. She has been used for breeding purposes her entire life by an Amish Puppy Mill. So she is leaving that life behind to come and live with us. So this could be the first time she has ever had a name, walked on grass and had a serious bath. She is an absolute sweetheart but has a lot to learn about living this kind of life--with her two new big brothers!

This marks the first time since we moved into our new house that we are able to expand the family and help another senior citizen Golden Retriever. That was one of our motivations for making the move and we are thrilled to be able to help out this lovely lady.

But for now we are dealing with a bit of stress and anxiety as we all get used to each other.

More Sophie!

Looks like she's already mastered posing for pics.

My latest kitty I adopted at age 5 was originally named Sophie. That name had bad vibes for me due to that terrible Meryl Streep film. I gave her a new name to go with her new life: Maggie, after the British PM. So now she's Maggie the moggie.

@Mike Frezon Congratulations to Ernie, that is a wonderful milestone. Good boy Ernie! And good man Mike for adopting an elder dog. More people need to do that. Our Jada was 12-14 when we adopted her. I am surprised that the Amish would engage in such a despicable practice.

Live long and prosper Sophie!
