the stray

We had a visitor yesterday.

When Lex' saw her on the porch, she excitedly squealed,

"We have two puppies!"

Of course, I let the kids feed her.

What was I supposed to do?!

But then Daddy came home....

He says strays don't belong here.

I nodded my head towards Marcos ;-)

When Tyler prayed last night,

Lexi kept telling him to pray for the dogs.

He prayed for Lola and Bernie.

She reminded him - with her fingers and her voice -

that we have three dogs, not two.

He's right.

He's completely right.

We certainly don't need another dog.

Shoot.

I don't even want another dog.

But she is kinda cute.

It's good that somebody in this house can withstand the cuteness.
And the children's pleading.

'Cuz otherwise,

we'd have three dogs.
