An Early Birthday Present

We surprised the little man with an early birthday present today....

Photobucket
Not a week goes by where he doesn't express his desire for a brother or sister to come home and live with him. There isn't much that we can do to make that happen, so we started looking for a dog to adopt instead. Sundance was found through a local animal rescue and the first thing M said when he saw her picture was in regards to her "cute bendy ears". We completed all of the necessary paperwork and passed with flying colors from our references, so we made the drive over to Cheyenne this morning to pick her up.

We dropped M off with Auntie Beth and Uncle Zach so we could go check things out before making the final decision.

It's been a pretty fun day and we have especially loved hearing all of the conversations M is having with Sundance like:
"I know your a little nervous but it will be okay because I am going to keep you forever."

"You can sit and watch movies with me if you want to.... well when mama and daddy say I can watch a movie. Sometimes you just have to be patient."

"This is our house Sundance and now it is your house too. Just don't eat my toys."

Very special day for Mihretu!! Thank you for sharing the story of Sundance coming to live with Mihretu and mom and dad!
I love the little conversations M has had so far with Sundance! Thank you for sharing this part of his young life and his very caring heart wanting Sundance to feel right at home in M's home.
Oma!
