two nights ago john and i got an email from the new owners of sage. first thought...john was worried that they were going to say that something was wrong or that she wasn't adjusting well. thankfully, wrong. they just wanted to send us a couple of pictures and tell us how good she was doing. that she loves their kids and that they are truly thankful that they have her. good, right?! right. but i started crying anyway. i miss her. i miss her cute little hobble, her sweet face, her protective sense and listening to her breath at night. her pictures were so cute and she looks really happy and i know it was the right choice for us to give her to this family, but it is hard to know that at this moment in time, we aren't the right family.
another canine story...almost every morning on my way to work i am a couple hundred feet behind a school bus that pulls off the side of the road to pick up some kids. every time it pulls over a dog comes charging down the hill, tail wagging, barking and nipping at the back tire of the bus. then is turns back around and i assume goes and gets the children. i love it, it makes me smile!

happy thanksgiving too! Psalm 100 describes how and why we should be thankful. it is one of my favorites and i cannot be more grateful to my God and Savior for the life he has given me. Salvation and a relationship with Him, an incredible husband i could not live without, a family that is so closely knit together (on both sides), a cat that keeps me entertained, a home to live in, a christian community that keeps me accountable and friends that are irreplacable. THANK YOU LORD!
"Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord, his is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever,
And his faithfulness to all generations."
Psalm 100
