Meet Sally!

 The boys have all wanted to get a dog since we have lived outside of Utah so Brandon and I decided that if we could get a fence put up and the boys could show us that they could be responsible that we could possibly get a dog.  Well, the fence will be started in a few weeks and so we thought that if we just looked at the pound to see what our options were maybe we may get an idea about the kind of dog that we were interested in.  Yeah right!  We showed up at the pound at 5 pm.  They closed at 5:30pm.  We adopted Sally at 5:33pm.  She was just the sweetest thing.  She is 3 and a half months old and weighs 17lbs 6 oz. She will be pretty big.  She is a mix German Shepherd/lab.  We were told that we couldn't bring her home until she had been fixed and because we adopted her right before the weekend happened she had to stay at the pound until Monday when they could take her to the vet.  Well, Monday happened and the vet called and told us that Sally wasn't well enough to get fixed, so we were able to bring her home for a few weeks as she was going to be taking medications to get well enough.  And then she well have her surgery in a few weeks.  The boys are on cloud nine and have been taking her all over.  She has been very sleepy, we think that either her illness or the two medications that she is on is making her lay around  a lot.  Today she is starting to be the Sally we met at the pound.  we bought her  a swimming pool and kind of forced her to take a swim with the boys.  We also gave her another bath, and she didn't quite appreciate all of it.  She has been such a quite dog and doesn't jump up on us very much.  So far she has only barked if she knows someone is in a dark room and can't figure out who it is.  She is getting very spoiled and can't stand being outside without company.  Hopefully we can change this as she will most definitely be an outside dog as Isaiah is getting some allergy symptoms since she has ben with us.
