Gracie

We brought home Gracie on February 28th. She has since grown to twice her size! She is beautiful and very playful. Though we had thoughts of wanting to get rid of her the first couple of weeks, we are now enjoying this newest member of our family. She is crazy excited for half the day, but we can already tell that she is going to be an awesome family dog. She has dug out of our backyard a couple of times already, but she just hangs out in our front yard until we return home. So, it looks like she's getting pretty attached to us like we are to her. Here are some cute pics we've taken as she's bonded with the kids.








Keith and I have gained a little wisdom thru the process of getting a dog that I would like to share with all of you. It is this: NEVER make a big decision like whether or not to get a family dog after your whole family has had the flu for two and a half weeks. You see, we had all passed around the flu for that amount of time and were just really craving some fun. So like any rational people, we thought that a dog would help with that "fun" we were so desperately wanting. Well, let's just say I now know that I don't think rationally AT ALL after dealing with sickness for an extended period of time. She is truly a lot of fun though :) - as an outside dog!
