Last month we said goodbye to our dear 14 year old Lab, Bailey. I had many people advise me to go ahead and get another dog, but I said, "no". We planned on waiting until this summer to welcome a new pet.
I didn't want my kids to think that one life is replaceable with another. I wanted us to go through the grief process for Bailey......and we have.
This past week something happened, unexpectedly. God literally dropped these two right into our lap:
Meet Sophie and Allie!Who could say no to those two faces??? I couldn't.
They are 5 month old Lab sisters who are house trained and have passed Puppy Kindergarten. They came to us from a friend who could not keep them. It was a blessing for us to take them and a blessing for her to know they were going to someone who would take such good care of them.
It's been a LONG four weeks at our house. We've certainly missed having furry friends around and we look forward to bonding with our newest family members.
We are smitten:
I think the "girls" are getting settled in their new home:
How fortunate for us, we have an in house Dog Whisperer:

Bailey is at the Rainbow bridge waiting for you.
They are GORGEOUS!!!!! So excited for your family!!
I absolutely LOVE these pictures! You can just look at these puppies and see how they are already a part of the family! Precious!
OK. 1) LOVE those faces. 2) This reminds me of a story of one of my best buds, Julia. She wanted another baby. Her husband did the entire but they cost so much...yada yada yada. She called me two months later pregnant. Ha! to him! She called me two more months later, pregnant with twins. Double HA! to him. Just sayin' God gives us unexpected blessings all the time. And, not to compare our children with canines but this is coming from someone who writes from my hounds perspective! :)
Schweet schweet schweet puppies!!
I know you would have named them Angie & Connie if they did not already have names.
They are beautiful. ENJOY!

Awesome, Tammy! They are so pretty. What a sweet double blessing God gave to your family after your loss. He's so good like that, isn't He?

That's so awesome! Yellow Labs are the sweetest variety, in my opinion...
Oh Tammy...they are beautiful! We're going to have to say goodbye pretty darn soon to our chocolate lab, Rivka. I'm dreading it!
