Christmas Miracle
Dear Jen,
Perhaps you remember last year when I said I would not get chickens till we had a larger property. And then I said not till the spring. And then I agreed to January. So we got them in November.
Well, perhaps I have also told you my rule about dogs: no dogs till we have a property big enough for it to get its exercise out there if needed. And not till the kids are old enough to share the responsibility for the care of the pet. "I am the one who is always home, and I will not be roped into doing everything like my mother was!"
That's my rule about dogs.
So true to form we are getting a dog next week (just after I drive Brad home from his surgery! How you say..."Stop the madness"?).
But you should have seen how giddy Brad was (and is)! Like a kid at Christmas! "I don't even care about Christmas presents!" he said. I have to admit I got a little emotional myself interacting with her. She is so very much like Brad's old dog Sierra that my family owned for a year before we left her with a good friend in Montreal, that Brad still carries a picture of in his wallet! She is docile and sweet and cuddly and short haired and medium sized and so so very gentle.
It's what I get for agreeing to accompany the family to the SPCA. I knew better. I'll let you know how her first introduction to the chickens goes!
Oy.
How's your Christmas looking?
Love,
Jacqui
