Daisy left us last Wednesday and went to a new foster family where she has other dog friends to keep her entertained. I miss her because I no longer have my late night buddy that lays behind my chair guarding me. Even though our life is now less caotic and I am not constantly cleaning up you know what in the back yard and my shoes aren't getting chewed up anymore :). She loved shoes, and Nathan loved to throw mine out in the yard for her when I was not looking :). I called to check on her a couple days after she left and the lady said she is adjusting well and seemed to get along with most of her dogs.
The boys were sad in this picture (at least Tyler was), he was forcing his smile, because he knew she was leaving that day. He understood what was going on and Nathan just thought we were taking pictures with daisy for fun. I was disapointed that my camera lens had a smudge on it and I didn't notice it in time to get new pictures :(.

and put up with a lot at our house.
Nathan Loves her. The Morning after she left he looked in her kennel, then looked out back and started calling for her. When she didn't come he looked at me confused and I had to remind him she was gone :( It was sad. When we actually met the new foster mom and moved Daisy from our van to her vehicle, Nathan was asleep and stayed asleep until long after we got home, so he never actually saw her not come home with us. Poor thing :(
Tyler keeps asking why we sent her away and it makes me feel bad, even though I know it was better for us. I just have to explain that she was never ours to keep and that she was just staying with us until she found her family. He doesn't always like my answer, but usually it's enough.
Despite missing her extremely sweet personality, I must say, I do love going back to my pet free home. I used to always want a lot of pets when I was younger, but that all changed when I had kids. Probably because I don't want anymore mess to clean up than I have to :) LOL She sure was fun to have around for the short time we had her :)
By the way, she is still up for adoption so if any of you want a good, quiet, sweet, dog (that could benefit from obedience training :)), she is a sweetheart ;) (just let me know and I will put you in contact with the foster mom). I honestly would have kept her had Josh and I agreed the timing was right and Tyler was old enough to take good care of her. She is a love.

Hey Kayla it's Kristin Russo...cute blog! Can I add a link to your blog on mine?
Sure no problem Kristin, How do you do that anyway? I want to add friends to mine, but don't know how :)
Okay this is what you do. Once signed in, go to settings, layout, add a page element, and then you will give in a title (mine is friends) then at the bottom you add the individual links to friends blogs by putting in the URL and name you want to appear for that blog. Does that make sense?
That is so sweet. I remembering it being so hard as a kid when we fostered a dog and she had to go. I think you handled it very well! You are so good Kayla!
If you didn't get those instructions for adding links, I will show you next time I am down at Aunt Nancy's and you are there.
