Prepare yourselves!!


Can you believe it?? Rachel Nelson actually got a dog! I know, some of you probably just fell off your seats but don't be alarmed, we are very excited to have a new puppy! And it was me who was for it not Justin. This summer we went camping with some of my extended family and one of them brought along their beloved pet, Nate. He was such a great dog and the kids just adored him. The kids love dogs, especially Jack and Luke and it has softened my heart to the idea. So when our good friend and neighbor told us his dog was going to have puppies I started thinking it might be nice. So here we are. We haven't decided on a name for her yet but she is an Australian Shepherd, a cow dog. She won't get very big, around 15 inches tall, they are supposed to be great with kids and people pleasers. We are all excited to add to our growing farm, first the cat then the chickens, now a dog. Who knows what will come next. As for the pictures of her inside, she will definitely not be an inside dog, I let the kids play with her the first few hours that we had her and now she is quietly sleeping in her box in the garage. Eventually she will be outside all the time. Any name suggestions would be helpful. We are debating between Sally, Sissy, Cash, Maggie, Ringo, & Squeak.

Wow. That is cool. And crazy. Of course, you are in a place that she can definitely be an outside dog! I like Janie's shirt that she is wearing in the picture too!!
Love you guys. Cash is so cute!
