Welcome to the Family

Well, I know what you are thinking .... what happened to seeing the new apartment, right? Well those pictures are just being finished up and they will surely be the next blog.
It has been a while since we have blogged and that is only because we have not had the Internet until about a week a go. So I have been trying to catch up on everything that I needed to. So finally its time to blog.
Since my parents have moved away I have been missing them terribly and the adorable puppies they took with them. Barkley and mischievous little fellow and Sadie my long time best friend. So lately I have been feeling like I want a furry friend too and after much deliberation and much talking and bargaining with Michael he finally decided to let me have a dog :-D

This is Sage our newest member of the family!!

We decided to try and rescue a puppy from a shelter because there are A LOT out here and many need good homes, and since it was our first dog we knew it would the most cost efficient way to go. After much thought and research we finally found a place that would work with us like we needed. Out here you have to fill our 5-7 pages of paper work just to be considered for an adoption. I thought that was insane. Every place we went it felt like they were trying to make it so difficult to adopt. So we finally found a place that worked with us to find a dog and that made it convenient. After all shouldnt that be their goal. Make it convenient for people to adopt a dog and they will otherwise they will just go to a pet store pay their $2,000 dollars for a dog and be on their way.
Sage is spunky and a ball of fun. She has so much energy, she is a rottweiler/shepherd mix. So far we love her.

She was so tired after we brought her home yesterday evening
and after a long drive in the car

This morning she was so full of energy and excited to see us!!


She was extremely tired after our walk this morning.
