Alright, so no one else calls her Jean Louise, but in my head sometimes I do. 🙂
So as if 4 kids wasn’t chaos enough, we have been ‘puppy-sitting’ this cutie, named Scout since Saturday. We’re hoping that if all goes well (And no one is allergic, etc.) she can become a permanent member of our home.
I have know puppies are a lot of work, but she seems to be like the energizer bunny! (Don’t be fooled by the fact, that most pictures, she is asleep. It’s because she’s asleep there are pictures! I have my hands full when she is awake!) She is just starting to get used to the noise, and busyness of our family, and learning how to sleep thru it all! And wow, She is a cute, busy little girl, but we love her already, even after 5 short nights of taking her potty.
She’s a Jack Russel Terrier, and we got her from Christopher’s Dad. And she is very smart. We’ve already trained her to stay in the kitchen, she only went potty in the house once yesterday, and she is pretty great with the kiddos.
Everyone has loved her from the start,
(Here is her arrival:)
but Lorelei has now become OBSESSED with the dog, and follows her around everywhere. We’re hoping that everything goes smoothly in transitioning into our home, and we’ll get to keep her. I know if that happens, it’s going to be a crazy year or so until we can get this puppy ‘raised!’ so wish us (ME) luck! 🙂
*And with that luck, let it be stated, that my blogging time will be cut down significantly, until we can get her trained! 🙂 *

Oh I Love Scout the kids are all so cute with her! I hope the transition goes well so you can keep her!
Oh my GOODNESS she is cute!! I hope it works out. My kids were BEGGING for a dog today when a neighbor’s dog came and played with them for an hour in the backyard and then whined at our door when they had to come inside. I told them no dogs til I have no kids in diapers, but I don’t know if they’ll hold off that long.
