Sad...but a new puppy for me?!

Well, parents no longer have Sam or Smokey. Sam, the chocolate lab passed away late summer early fall and Smokey was put down after a great choice made by sister. He was collapsing everywhere from his hip displasia and in so much pain. I got some tears thinking I didn't even get to say goodbye. Bummer. So I thought I would get a new puppy to have Berry play with to cheer me up. Juno, Sarah's dog is one of the cutest puppies I've seen for a long time, except for Berry. So I decided to get a chocolate lab who is 8 months and her name is Belle.

I jokes! My parents were so funny. They kept telling me they weren't ready because it has been only 5 days since Smokey was put down and then they called me told me about Belle. I prayed they would find just the right dog. This dog was free, was not taken care of very well since she had mites and mange, and loosing hair. She didn't answer to her old time, jumped up on tables and counters. I was interested how this dog was going to work with my dad and mom. My dad has had a wake up call in how much time and patience a puppy takes. Man, does this make me want to get another puppy and go home for Christmas!

I just called and got an update on Belle. Wow! What a complete change. She doesn't sleep in the kennel at night anymore, house trained, sits, and loves to cuddle with my dad. She is very sweet according to my dad. Belle has gotten my mom and dad out more walking. I can tell they are loving having a puppy again! I'm excited to introduce her to Berry this summer.

Hmmm...maybe I will get another puppy!

Berry is doing well. She loves her runs and I love getting out too. I'm not sure what I will with her at Christmas. I'll still figuring out tickets for myself. I thought it would be a little easier flying in state than out of state. I was wrong! They are cancelling a lot of flights so it makes it hard to get out of the village when you need to. I hope my superintendent will let me go early because I have two free tickets to use. If I don't use them, I'm out the special deal I paid for them.

Well, off to eat a breakfast dinner!
