New Goal! and Sage the puppy.

I have been very lacking in the blogging area as of late. I can't believe it has been two months since I last posted anything. Which means I have missed Kennedy's b-day, mine, Christmas, New Years, and everything else in between. So today I have made a new goal for myself. I will post something everyday this month! Now I know today is the second day of this month so I will be posting twice. And yes I realize it is the shortest month of the year so that is extra incentive to see if I really will do it!

In December we got a puppy. This is our families first pet, and mine ever! Not knowing what to expect I went into this new adventure blindly. Needless to say I was totally stressed out by day 2. I ended up giving myself Laryngitis, which happens to me every time I really stress (usually when George deploys). This is Sage. Such a cute little puppy. The boys absolutely fell in love with her. They let her get away with anything and everything. She has ruined to many shirts of Mason's for me to even want to write the number down! She also put a hole in a pair of Trevan's pants, all because the boys think or I should say thought it was fun to let her chew on them. Now they don't feel the same since she has a lot more teeth.
Sage loves our rag rug. She would chew on it like it was grass. I did say would because she has since learned not to chew in the house!


Sage's favorite spot. She loves to curl herself up on the heater vent and sleep. Yes she is still doing this, just outside her kennel.


This is where Kennedy spent weeks! She would creep down the stairs, ask where Sage was and jump onto the couch and climb as high as she could get. She was not like the boys, it has taken her much longer to love Sage.


Kennedy is now loving Sage and at times can't keep her hands off of her. I too have since calmed down about having a dog and enjoying her.

Go Linda, go! You can do it! Sage looks as if she's going to be HUGE. I love her favorite spot. Dogs are so fun. I'm glad you guys are enjoying her. I see you have a kennel too; that's the only way to go.

Oh the joys of a puppy! We are past the one year mark with Lucy and I can honestly say it has gotten so much better. She never detroyed clothes, but any plastic toy was toast! We have learned the dollar store is the best place to buy her toys since they last all of five minutes before they are mutilated beyond recognition! It is fun having a dog though and for me to say that is a miracle! I am NOT a dog person. It's so funny it took Kennedy longer to be around her!
