"New" Dog

Yes, another dog! Randy was out doing some visits for church and thought he saw a dog in the barrow pit. On his way back by it was still there, so he pulled his truck over and sure enough a shaking pup with a hurt leg and hip. It looked as if it had fallen or been thrown out of a truck, and he was scared. Because his wife is such an animal lover (ugh, not another dog) he brought him home and doctored him up. The next morning he tells Jaxyn what had happened and the two of them went out to evaluate the situation. The dog is very gentle and kind and by the time Jaxyn came back inside she was in love once again. She comes right up to me and says, "Mom, I know you don't want another dog, but this one is a keeper." Those big brown eyes are hard to say no to and she has spent every spare minute "training" him. She feels so confident in her "training" and can't believe how great this dog is. She is all over him and he just sits there and takes it. (I can't imagine why, maybe the bad leg has something to do with it.) I wish I could say at least Hatcher was on my side, but notice who is in the background wishing he was out doing some of his own training. That little boy would live outside if he could! So, mom loses yet another battle - Mom I guess its payback for all those years I begged for a dog!
