It would appear that today is the end of the chapter for our family of five. Tomorrow we are getting a new addition...and like the lady on the street said to me this morning(a complete stranger), "dogs are your children, they are worse than your own children".........we are picking up our nine month old, black Lab named Jasmine. Its a GIRL...albeit furry and drooling, but its a girl. In my mind I have already bought her a stocking for Santa to fill, and have lost 20 pounds from walking her...religiously...twice daily(is that enough??)......and cleaning up her poop and her trampling on my garden hasn't even crossed my mind once.....HAHA...it has crossed my mind a million times!!
All week, I have been chanting to the kids, " I know something you don't know, do da, do da..." and it bothers them sooooo badly!! They want to know!! I even barked once, just once...for the fun of it....but they didn't get it. Gotta love kids!!! I know they will be excited when they see her and then realize that she is coming home with us. I'm HOPING that they will be excited....who knows, maybe one has a deathly fear of dogs and we don't know yet!? Wouldn't that be funny...OK, it wouldn't!! But they do like animals...from afar that is! And they liked Lucy the Cat...when we had her!! So I think it will be alright!! I just hope that Jasmine is ready for us!! And she doesn't eat the Christmas Tree or the gifts under it!!! She would definitely be going on the Naughty List!!!
So today....I have done little but relax(still wacky back problems).....its like the calm before the storm. I have cleaned, tidied up and vacuumed....for some reason I think that Jasmine would appreciate me cleaning for her!! I have made a space for her bed...in the family room...I hope she likes it!! And I know just where to put her dishes in the kitchen and where to store her food!! I suppose I am ready!! Just waiting.......a new Chapter is drawing nearer......cant wait to share it with you and show pictures!!
