Everyone, meet Zoey.  Zoey and I joined forces Sunday.  She’s a 12-week old black lab.  I’m not sure who she’ll grow to be, but as things have revealed themselves the last 48 hrs, she seems like the most laid-back, chill lab I’ve ever met.  We had a firm talk before we became a team.  I told her she had to live at least 12 years, that she couldn’t destroy my house, that she would need to be a little more independent than her predecessor, that she would NOT be confused about my role as alpha dog, and that she would follow a clear set of directives we would both learn at puppy training.  And most importantly?  She had to love kids.  So far, so good.

I miss Kodak terribly.  These last couple days have been incredibly bittersweet.  But this house simply needs a dog.  It’s just too darn quiet without one.

    Great talking to you tonight, friend! :)
    Excited to hear more stories of how this sweet black pup brings “life” and joy into your home, world, and heart! :) Praying He allows you to feel safe as you fall for her wet nose on your foot as she sleeps under your desk, her charms and her tender nature! Have fun, momma! OX
