I would like to announce that we have an addition to our family. As of last Wednesday we are proud owners of a very large puppy!! Sunday Brooklyn and I went to Petsmart to purchase a puppy gift for Greg and Tracy's new puppy. And we met just the sweetest dog ever. His name is Boskoe and he was there with Forever Friends Rescue Group. They were there with lots of kitties and a couple people were walking Boskoe around the store. His story was pretty sad actually. He was found on August 8th laying in the middle of Clio road. He had been hit by a car, was malnourished (very underweight), and extremely dehydrated. Thankfully, a vet technician stopped and picked him up and took him to her office where he was all fixed up. He stayed there for a few days and then went to live with a foster family. His injuries weren't severe-he bounced back just fine. And once he was given food and water regularly he put on weight. He is 12 months old and he is a German Shepherd mix. We don't know what he is mixed with-perhaps Akita or Siberian Husky. The rescue group put out fliers and no one ever claimed Boskoe. So who knows what the story is-if he was a stray or mistreated or what. I was just drawn to him partly because of his story-and just knowing that he really needed a family-and partly because he is just so friendly. When Brooklyn first saw him she was just in awe of how pretty he was. And when she approached him he immediately laid down on the floor on his back so that she could pet his tummy. It was just so sweet. I was shocked that Jeffrey was so open to the whole thing. Because most of you know-doggies aren't really on his list of faves. But so far so good. Since we've had him we've gone on lots of walks and jogging sessions. I just enrolled him in Doggie training school at Petco. Which-oh my goodness-when I told Brooklyn that mommy was going to be taking Boskoe to Doggie training school she asked if a dog teaches the class. And I said "No, Brooklyn. It's a person that teaches the class." She looked confused and then asked "Does the person know how to speak Dog?" How cute is that. I absolutely love it!!

IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT BOSKOE GETS A SHOUT OUT!!!! I've been checking your post regularly and am now happy that he is on. The pictures are super sweet. You have such a kind loving soul that is why Boskoe was brought to you. GOD knew that he needed you and that your family would do an amazing job raising him and caring for him. dog and family are very blessed. Thanks for the yummy tea the other day. There are so many things I love about being friends with you and your family, but one main one is whenever we call and say 'What ya doin'?" I love that the majority of the time one of us usually says "Ya wanna come over?" Thats simply the best!!! Have a great week-end, see you Tuesday in the A.M.
