Our Visitors

Last night around 11:00 P.M. I heard a "yep, yep" outside our door. I waited to see if I heard it again, and sure enough "yep". I got Joe and told him I thought there was a dog at our door. He went to the door and opened it and said, "It's 2 little dogs!" We opened the door, and they came running right in like they were home. Joe took them door to door around our neighborhood and drove through the rest of the neighborhood listening for their owner calling them, but he had no luck finding their home. We have called our local police department to let them know we have them here, and here they will stay until their owner claims them. They are really sweet dogs. The little Poodle is solid black male with a little silver here and there. The Shih Tzu is a white and dark gray female with a little brown mixed in. They seemed to be house trained and they are sleeping in our kitchen for now. Of course, while they are here they have to earn their keep by posing for a photo shoot. They are helping me build my portfolio. :-) The best thing about their visit is the kids' reaction. They are so excited to have dogs in the house. My mom reminded that Katelyn has been praying for a puppy. :-) Joe has been pretty funny about them being here. He talks to them like he talks to Hayden, and he went to the store this morning and bought them some food. I think he would really like it if they'd just stay with us. ;-) He is lightening up about the dog issue. At least there is a little hope that Katelyn may be able to have a dog sometime in the near future. We hope their owner claims them, and we hope that he/she is not too worried about them. That's the worst feeling when your animals run off and it's cold outside.

Carson couldn't wait to get home from school today to see if the dogs were still at our house. He told everyone in his class about them. He and Ainsley both wanted to get out in the yard with them.
