...the kind you borrow for short periods of time from your neighbor! One of the greatest things about moving into town is getting to be closer to friends. Our friend Paul lives across the street. He recently got a chocolate lab puppy. My kids absolutely love it! I am embarrassed to say we have never let our children have the experience of a puppy. We have Grizzly, our 11 year old lab. Rylan and Caden have asked Santa for the past two years for a puppy; however, we have explained how the Santa that visits our house does not bring live animals. Ryan and I have realized it is getting close to the time when we must give in and allow them the experience of raising a puppy. In the meantime, when Paul is at work, we get a chance to be the "doggie daycare" for little Jasmine when possible! She is so cute and the boys have had so much fun playing with her. Paul gets home and wonders if she is sick because she is so tired after her visits at our house. We enjoy our time with her...and we enjoy getting to send her back home whenever we get ready! Here are some pictures of the boys with her.
