A New Addition to Our Family!

No, we're not speaking of a little one. We're speaking of a very furry friend named Chelsi! As we were picking up our friend's refrigerator, she asked on the way out the door... "Can you please take my dog too?"

This wasn't according to our responsibility plan (i.e.- confirm we are able to keep a plant alive first, then see if we are responsible enough for a dog, then maybe other things...) We couldn't help but say no. Maybe God was reminding us that it isn't about us or our perceived plan!

She doesn't have the best of habits, we soon realized after she barks during the middle of the night, refuses dry dog food, and eats our friends shoes! We have some training to do after she finishes her "fasting protest". Our friend admitted to feeding her freshly cooked steaks and allowing her to sleep in her bed! Goodness.
