Doggy Doggy where's your home?

You might remember a certain lovable scruffy mutt having entered our homes this week.  Well.  We found the family.  I had the boys take the dog on a walk hoping that if the family were out they would see him, and they did.  

I had to wake up my sleeping five year old to tell his new found best friend goodbye...  Not a dry eye.  I was so proud of him.  He wanted to cry so badly but loudly proclaimed that he was just happy hat the puppy found his family.  My heart broke and was filled with pride all at the same time.  

The dumbfounded look on his face when the family turned to him and asked if he wanted to keep him was priceless!  I could hardly believe what I was hearing!  They feared for his safety by the busy road and saw how much the boys had bonded.  

The horrible part, the kids there had taken care of him since he was a puppy and were heartbroken.  But they knew that since I had almost hit him in the road that it just wasn't safe and loved him enough to let him go.  I think we were all pretty teary eyed at that point.  I was about to simply say 'no' when she said that they had been looking out for somewhere for him before he was hit like their last dog in the same spot even.  

Again, thank you Lisa and kids for entrusting us with your little guy and we will do our best to take care of him and show him all the love we can.

Natalie, hilariously, though- The name you picked worked beautifully and guess why?  You suggested Roscoe, his actual name is Oscar.  And that is how Nik (5 yr/o) pronounces it.  

Nope.  Not a lick of writing today, but some life lessons that are incomparable can take prescience, right?

Question of the day- What is a life lesson your child, sibling or niece or nephew has had that you were able to witness?  

Quote of the day -

Han Cho Bai: [about Frank] " I'm going to enjoy killing him. Get me a gun that really hurts."

It's just beautiful.  I look at this and think of it as being made of ice.  

Have a good one guys!  God be with you all.
