Newest Family Member


 
 


 
 



Well, here she is!  We added a new family member today, Nora.  She is a Dutch Shepherd and is 3 mos. old.  Isn't she cute??  A dog has always been an asset to our family.  Justin and I had our first Shepherd before Hannah was born.  Tori was her name and was she ever a great dog.  She watched over me while Justin worked nights for 10 years and would let me know when anything was going on in the house or outside.  We had to put her down about 3 years ago and boy do we miss her.  We had 2 other Shepherds so we didn't replace Tori.  Recently, one of the other 2 dogs died unexpectedly.  We are down to one Shepherd who is 14 years old so we decided it was time for another watch dog.  Having a dog in the yard while the children are playing gives mom peace of mind!

So, sorry for all the hype.  It was all in fun.  Hope no one is disappointed!  The Darlings are excited though to have a new adopted family member.  (This one was certainly a quicker process!!)

It is great to know that If we were to adopt another "two legged" blessing, you are all there!  Thanks for the encouraging words!!!
