As a puppy!
We have had the unique and fun opportunity to rescue a puppy that we found on the street. We were walking along the road and saw 4 puppies in the bushes and were told by the guard for that house, that the mother abandoned them. The kids jumping up and down exuberantly asked if we could take one home! My answer was no, we are not allowed to have pets. But we took one home with the hopes of allowing her to be a guard dog on campus. But alas we brought her home and the current guard dog was none too happy. Our puppy who we named Bella was very fond of Addy and so badly wanted to play. But Addy who is very old, didn't not return the sentiment. She growled and snapped and was generally cranky when she saw Bella. So we had her in our apartment which we were informed that she couldn't stay there. Sad thing was that she would have been an excellent guard dog - all of the kids loved her! Well today we gave her away. It was very sad but upon reflecting our kids shared even though it was sad, it was still good that we saved her and got her healthy. We asked them if we had to do it over - either leave her or love her and let her go - they all picked love her and let her go. Still stinks, but she will be loved by her new family!!
We have started school and are in the swing of things. We have 13 guys in the dorm, 7 which are new! We are busy showing them the ropes and learning how we live as a family. We will be busy but will continue to post the happenings of our family! We love you guys and miss you!

Sorry about the dog. We know what it is to lose a pet. Chris do you remember the little puppy that we had that got sick and died when we were on vacation to California. We love you and miss you. I will send you an article about Austin and his State Project.
