Well, I found a really precious female dauchsand in my yard Sunday morning. I went out to get the paper on my way to church, and she just came right up to me! Needless to say I didn't make it to church! She was so cute! I put signs up in the neighborhood and at Petsmart. I was going to keep her, but Diamond didn't like her and barked at her the whole time. I did keep her overnight. I finally got her to eat and drink, and she wouldn't leave my side. She curled up in my lap everytime I sat down. She slept curled up next to me all night. I just fell in love with her. It did, however, give me some perspective on how HUGE my own dogs are! This dog was the size of Ranger's head! Since I couldn't keep her, I took her out to The Haven this morning. I cried a little when I had to hand her over. I did volunteer, though. I filled out the paperwork and will hopefully start sometime this week or this weekend. I will go after school for a couple of hours and feed them. This will give me something to do this summer so I don't sit home all day. I think I need to build a house out in the country so I can have as many dogs as I want. No animal deserves to be without a place to live and people to care for it. They are God's creatures and we should take care of them.
God did use this to show me something. He showed me that if He would watch out for a little dog like that one by providing food and shelter when it was in need, He FOR SURE would take care of me no matter what! Funny how God would use a cute little dog to drive home a point! I know the Bible already says that about Him taking care of the sparrows, but He made it real for me this weekend!

Hey, when you go, take Ty! She volunteered out there a lot this fall, but with baseball this spring, Keith hasn't been able to take her as much. I know she misses it, and this would help Keith out too!
Yah really!!! Ilove going to the Haven - even if the dogs are pitiful and I want to take them all home! THe part about the dachsund being the size of Ranger's head was funny!
