Toree has been begging like a dog.....I mean... she has been begging for a dog since she could speak. I mean talk !! She would crawl around the house with a leash hooked to a collar. Her brothers and sisters would humor her and take her for walks. She would say: I'm a dog. My name is Purdy and I'm a Dalmatian dog! This went on for months and months. She even licked my ankle once when I was working in the kitchen. That's when I drew the line! We always thought that this dog phase would fade away.............but it actually got worse
Dennis was raised on a dairy farm and he always told the kids that we would only get a dog if we moved to a farm. We have said- no to a dog all these years. So this is quite a shock for all the older brothers and sisters. Our family and friends cannot believe we are really doing this. I think I'm still in shock! Are we crazy????
It's amazing how sometimes things are just meant to be. We were introduced to a new friend that needed a home for her dog. It happen to be the only breed of dog I would ever consider owning. We had a chance to adopt her so......for about a week we had to keep the biggest secret of the century! Toree's birthday isn't until August 29th. While Toree and Jamee went to a stake fireside we went and picked up our new dog.
At first, Toree just looked at the dog. We kept saying Happy Birthday Toree. She kept saying-are you serious?
even if you're not a dog lover, admit she's darn cute!!!

considering the fact that toby is spoiled, this is a good post mom. i'm still shocked she got one...i mean after all you've said no to 6 (well 5. exclude mimi, she's not a fan) kids, and she gets one. this is like when all the kids move out and you buy the good boxed cereals, or when you go on really awesome vactions to orlando, and california. we got stuck with no dogs and driving in a cramped SUV to UT & ID. woo. i wish i was the youngest.
jamee i'm telling you-start asking for a car now. you just might get it!
ri-diculous
seriously mimi....think of somethin you want and just bug them til you get it. apparently thats all you have to do around here.
MOM...i want...
