Our Newest Addition

Losing Sadie was extremely difficult but we knew that there was another dog out there that needed rescuing. After searching for weeks on the Internet, we found Eli! He was at the Chatham Co. Animal Shelter. Parker & I drove out two weeks ago yesterday to meet him...I wasn't sure I wanted to go without Chad (I really didn't want to go without him!) but their adoption hours are short each day and he couldn't get time off of work. So he trusted me to go and see what I thought. It didn't take me long to decide that I loved him and wanted him so the next day I drove out there to pick him up and bring him home! He had an adorable sister who I hated to leave there, but I figured one puppy and a baby would be plenty to keep me busy. Parker loves him and thinks he's hilarious...Eli loves licking Parker and tries to play with him but sometimes gets a little too crazy. He is like my little shadow and follows me around all day...he's having some separation anxiety issues but hopefully we can get that figured out over time. He's such a cuddle bug and has been so much fun to have around so far!

Didn't realize how much he looks like Sadie...

Aunt Brenda's Visit

My Aunt Brenda came to visit us at the beginning of this month...we had such a good time! One of the things she really wanted to do while she was here was take Parker to play at the park. And he of course loved it! We also went out to lunch, went shopping, planted flowers in my front flowerbeds, and reorganized my entire kitchen (thanks A. Brenda - it's so much more functional now)! I'm so glad she was able to come visit us for a few days. Can't wait to see her and the rest of my family Memorial Day weekend!
