Little Ann

Meet our newest addition. It's sort of unbelievable to me that we are dog owners, but we are. And what's even more unbelievable is that I like her! She is fun and pretty obedient and she is teaching Payton some responsibility and confidence {he wears a noseplug when he cleans up poop...soooo his dad's child}. Not sure I am really up for her riding in the car with us for 15 hours to Idaho :) But I'm sure she'll have fun up there. Macky & Will got a dog named Dodger and the boys are anxiously looking forward to Ann & Dodger's first meeting. Again, cannot believe these words are coming out of my fingers...

A little background on why she is "Little Ann". Payton and Mike read "Where the Red Fern Grows" about a year ago and it's been nothing but dog since then. Payton cried many a tear for a dog. He begged and pleaded and saved money {just like Billy} and so this mom couldn't resist. I remember reading that book as a family growing up and there sure wasn't a dry eye in the room. It teaches many good messages and I recommend it to any boy. or girl. or parent.

So...Little Ann is part of the family. "yittle ann ann" as Avery would say. She also says Ann Ann is a "chocyat Yab" and it may be the cutest thing ever.

oh the joys. every boy needs a dog, they say.
