What a great Daddy!

Daddy called to check on me yesterday to see if I was recovering from my loss of Trevor. I told him that I was feeling better. He mentioned getting another dog and I said that I thought it would be good to just move forward. No use mourning over a dog that I cannot bring back. I also thought it would help ease the mind of the guy who ran over him. He's such a tender hearted guy anyway, this was not easy for him to deal with.

But I mentioned to Daddy that I want another black lab. Trevor had the best temperment (sp?) and was SO smart! But I got Trevor for a rock bottom price, and I didn't think I could find that good a deal again. I just don't have the money to buy a new dog. Daddy, who is such a great dad for daughters, said, "Don't worry about, I'll find you a dog." He then googled the nearby newspapers and checked out their classifieds. He found several people offering Labs and got to calling around. He pretty quickly found a lady who lives in the country outside of Huntsville who has a whole litter. The mama was a Black Lab and the daddy a Yellow Lab, so there are yellows, chocolates and blacks in the litter. They are 4 weeks old, so can't leave the mama yet. Daddy drove out there with his camera yesterday to see them and take pictures to show me. He called me and told me about them while he was still there and then let me talk to the owner, who is just the sweetest lady. Believe it or not, the mama dog got run over in her driveway by a member of their church youth group--but a large vet bill later, she's okay. So she totally understood about Trevor.

Anyway, Daddy and I talked about it and made a decision, he bought me a new dog yesterday and will bring it down to me when it's 6 weeks old (June 10). I talked him through uploading pictures and sending them to me, so here he is the new Trevor. For those of you who think its weird, Dave and I decided that Trevor is our dog name from now on. You name your dogs, we'll name ours. So...meet the new Trevor.

Trevor is on the left in this picture. The other two dogs are his brother and sister that are black labs.
