Kaitlyn turned 6 years old a few weeks ago. Instead of a birthday party this year, she invited two friends to come over for the day. She invited her friends Ryleigh and Lydia. They played and played then got all dressed up to go out for dinner. They spent about 20 minutes getting all dolled up and picked out their own outfits. We took them to dinner and had so much fun. Here they are posing before we left for the restaurant:
So a friend of ours on Facebook posted that they had a friend that had a dog they needed to find a home for or they were going to put him down. Now normally I don't even give it a second glance, but it just happen to be the kind of dog that Jarod has always wanted- a pure border collie. This dog was being trained to work cattle but had gotten stepped on by some horses. So naturally he was too afraid to go near the large animals anymore. We thought about it for a few days and decided we would take the dog in. It was just an opportunity that we couldn't pass up. So we got him Thursday, and here is a picture of the little fur ball:
His name is Pete, and he is 5 months old. He is very skinny and skiddish. He had been stuck in a barn with little human interaction, so he doesn't know what to think of people. So we are working with him on potty training (only 1 accident so far!) and coming near us. It will be a slow process but worth it. He is a very sweet puppy! I love this picture below. I was getting him to 'come' with a treat and Gus was checking him out and Nat was taking the whole thing in:
We think he will be a great addition to our family. We realize the hard work it will be especially at first to get him even used to us, but border collies are very smart dogs. We look forward to teaching him all kinds of tricks!
