Here is a photo of me and my dog, Blackie.  I miss him.  He was such an awesome dog.  I got him from a community service officer the summer of 1993.  I was at work and one day this community service officer came into the office with a box of puppies.  She explained her dog had puppies and she couldn't keep all of them.

It was love at first sight.  I fell in LOVE with Blackie as soon as I seen him!  I wanted him but I knew my parents wouldn't allow it.  I told her I needed to get a hold of my parents to ask for permission, so she went through out the office to see if anyone wanted a puppy.

I was sad because I really wanted him but I knew my parents wouldn't allow me to have a dog.  About 30 minutes later, the officer came through our office and said she had one more male puppie if wanted it.   See what I didn't know was that she kept him for me.  She told everyone he was taken.  I couldn't pass him up so I took him even though I knew my parents wouldn't allow it.  I brought him home and my brother's fell in love with him, too.  We hid Blackie from my parents for about a week.  We bought him food, diapers and kept him in my room!  Yes, that's right diapers.  It's funny now and we laugh about it.

When my parents found out we had a puppy, my parents were not as upset as I thought they would be so that was all good :)

What I'm Loving Wednesday

I love that my good friend D called on us for help.  We are babysitting her 3 month old little boy W.  He is so cute!  I had baby fever and thanks to D for leaving her baby boy with us 3 nights a week was the cure!  He LOVES to talk and is just a doll.  My oldest daughter is doing most of the work.  My husband and I are supervising.  She's doing a good job, too!  Here's a collage of baby W & my daughter K.  Please keep her in your prayers, she's going through a tough time right now.  Thank you.

I was helping my daughter with a school assignment last week when I came across some photos I didn't know I had.  I found a  lot of photos of my late brother Bryant---when he was much younger.  I looked through them and they just brought back sooooo many memories!  I missed my brother but this time was a different feeling.  I felt at peace.  I think of him a lot!  I'm just so happy I came across those photos!  It was nice to show my kids their Uncle when he was much younger.  It was a nice trip down memory lane.  I'll share more.  I love the ones I found when he was a baby!
