In My House

In my house we do:
Kindness.
Respect.
and Friendliness.

In my house we do not make guests feel unwelcome or uncomfortable.

In my house kids are part of the family.
In my house there is an appropriate time for talking and an appropriate time for listening.
There is a time for being crazy and a time to be calm.
In my house we have an equal amount of snuggles and play time.

In my house we do not disturb the neighbors.

In my house we do not go potty on the carpet or eat out of the trash.

Now, how do I tell that to the new dog?

Honeymoon.....OVER!

 No no, I'm not talking about my new marriage. I'm talking about my love for snow. You may remember me gushing over our first snow of the year.

I love snow, I eagerly await snow, I get so excited to see that it has snowed.

Except in May!

April 30. Beautiful!

May 1!

This year we had snow on May 1. MAY 1!! 

Really??

Yes, yes, I am appreciative of the moisture it brings and it is still as beautiful as ever.

But.....May?

I have so many cute skirts and sandals and new outfits that are waiting to be worn!

No more snow until winter time.......please?!


Thankfully it looks to be the last of the snow for us this year (**crossing fingers**).

Lost and Found

Sheldon

Adopted: Saturday, April 27, 2013 

Teller County Regional Animal Shelter

Comment from Petco worker on Saturday: "What a great dog! Someone left a pot of gold and you picked it up!"

A true pot of gold he is! We have fallen in love with Sheldon so fast. He is such an amazing dog and adds so much joy to our family! 

A treasure found is not quickly left behind.  It makes me think of how little kids will find a rock or a leaf and quickly it becomes their most precious possession. 

Being so precious to us now, I can't imagine losing our new special buddy and I can't seem to get Sheldon's previous owners out of my mind. A dog with such love and loyalty, who is so well behaved, can only come from owners who took the time and energy to pour into him, to work with him, and to love him. Are they feeling loss and heartbreak now, as we are feeling such love and joy? Do they feel a hole in their lives, as we are experiencing fulfillment in ours? It breaks my heart to think about it.

Found as a stray, Sheldon spent over 30 days in the shelter. His ad was on petfinders.com, a well populated website. He has distinct markings and a unique look. I am holding onto these facts, choosing peace that his previous family was given due time and resources to have been able to find him and that there must have been something more to the story than a runaway dog in a small town in Teller County. I am holding onto my belief that God brought Sheldon to us and that we are meant to be apart of his life. I hope that where ever they are, the previous owners would know that their dog has found a great home where he is loved and cherished. We promise to take care of him to the best of our ability and to love him always!

Welcome to our family, Sheldon!
