We Get a New Dog!

The kids have been wanting a new dog since Ellie passed but it was a challenge finding one that met our requirements (small, doesn't shed, good with kids and not a puppy). After weeks of searching online, Mamaw sent me a text with a picture of Lady. She's a cocker spaniel, poodle mix and only 12 pounds. She was perfect!  This sweet thing lived with a lady Mom worked with but the arrangement with her other dog was not working out. I let Jordyn in on the secret but left it a surprise for Raelee and Mason. We told them after the last day of school on May 25th that we were going to Etown to celebrate and eat with Grammy and Poppy. When we were about five minutes away from the McDonald's in Radcliff, I spilled the beans. Raelee started to cry with excitement. It was so sweet!  So far she's been a great addition. She's only a little over a year old so she still has puppy-like tendencies. She carries off shoes and socks (sometimes even under wear) and barks more than Ellie did. She's very high energy so we are sure to take her for walks to wear her down.  Because we didn't love the name Lady but wanted to keep a name that sounded similar so she wouldn't be confused, we decided on Brady (which was daddy's idea) since she has wavy hair. We love her already!
