...and now for the dogs!

I just realized that my blog is titled "3 dogs and a baby," and so far I've only talked about the baby. So today I thought I'd post a few pictures of my wild and crazy dogs. I'm such a sucker for animals, I've never met one that I haven't instantly loved. Four(ish) years ago, Brandon and I moved into our very first house. As soon as the fence was finished, Brandon went to the Humane Society to get a dog. It was a Saturday, and I was working (which happened often when I worked at TLU). Brandon and I spent the entire previous evening looking at the Humane Society's website, so we knew which dog we were going to get. Well....long story short, Brandon couldn't stand the thought of getting the second-to-last puppy in the litter, and leaving only one by herself.....so he got two. Sadie and Scout are attached at the hip. Wherever one goes, the other follows. This is the best picture I could get of them, they're not into posing.

Sadie and Scout were born at the Humane Society. Their mother was very sick. She had been badly abused and had heartworms. However, the vet at the Humane Society believed that if she were nursed back to health, she would soon be adopted. Well, the vet was right, and guess who adopted her?

That's right! Meet Dakota. She's the sweetest dog you'll ever meet, I swear. Occasionally she shows a sign or two that she suffered some abuse, but she's definitely not shy. She will let Kate do absolutely ANYTHING to her, and she never gets mad.

So that's the story of my dogs. At times they drive me crazy, but so does Brandon and I still keep him around! I hope students and teachers have a good first day of school!
