Chloe's first day Home

We (my husband, John & I) had been discussing getting a puppy for the past few years, but our busy schedules and past few moves had not made this the best decision for us at the time.

However, 5 years into our marriage, we are now at a place in our lives where we would have the privilege of working from home the majority of the time, and be able to devote the time needed to nurture and train a puppy. No, we do not have children yet, but Chloe has been good training so to speak.

She arrived a few days earlier than my birthday from John, and was sitting at my doorstep with a card around her neck! It was the cutest thing ever, and her stillness made me believe she was a little stuffed animal, until she moved ever so slightly, and I shrieked! I imagine, she must have been as startled as I was! I didn't suspect this surprise at all, despite all our talks about it in the past!

It was December 3rd, and she was 9 weeks old, and all she wanted to do was stay near us and cuddle and sleep. While this still remains one of her favourite things to do, a lot has changed! I decided that it would be a good idea to keep a record about these changes to help us remember, but more so because I didn't want to forget the simple lessons that God has been teaching me through the process.

I hope that these short stories equipped with a simple lesson will help you ponder life & learn along with me :)

Cheers,

Dona
