A New Addition

Friday, 24, August, 2007


Nothing much happened today, we packed and headed down the road around 7, making a few stops along the way. Only one major event happened today, so prepare to be enlightened as you read on…
Last week, our neighbors brought home an eight week old Cocker Spaniel. When they went to pick up the puppy, there was a sister that was unclaimed for. They decided to bring them both home. We found out Thursday that they had decided that two puppys, along with two little boys, were too much (take a wild guess to where this is leading). My siblings and I begged our parents too let us buy the puppy. She was so incredible cute and well-tempered. The only problem was that the neighbors wanted us to decided before we left for our trip. No pressure or anything mom and dad, but you need to decide if we can keep the puppy and take her on our sixteen day trip in a 32’ RV with six people and another dog. Just ignore the fact that she’s about as big as your forearm, not house trained, and we leave in less than twenty-four hours.
They decided Friday that we would do a “trial run” for a couple hours, seeing if two dogs were too much too handle. Finally, we got our answer. They decided five minutes before we left that we could keep the puppy, who was already dubbed Lavern by the breeders.
We debated whether or not to change her name. Part of the family wanted to keep it Lavern, while the other half voted for several other names. The most popular of the names was Lola, but I had my own favorite: Butch.
That’s pretty much it for Friday (it’s Saturday right now). We ended our night outside of Chicago.

SMILES!
