Borrow the Dog



As I've mentioned before, my girls think we need a pet. We've reminded them over and over that they have lots of pets - 3 fish and about a zillion sea monkeys. But they think they need a pet with fur. Well, since we're not quite ready to take that big step yet, we decided to borrow the neighbor's dog. Actually, Makenna's Primary teacher, who happens to be our next door neighbor, offred to let Makenna walk her dog. She told Makenna on Sunday to call her on Tuesday - and it has been a long 48 hours, waiting to be able to walk that dog. I'm surprised Makenna likes "Pepper" because she is a big lab dog. But she's also 15 years old and is a "grandma dog" - very calm and gentle and, well, slow. So that's good for Makenna who has been having fear issues with dogs lately. She had a blast walking Pepper down the street and back - just long enough before Pepper got tired!
