Life changes in the instant."
Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
Yesterday morning we were getting a puppy on August 6th. Yesterday afternoon we were getting a puppy today at 2.
Life changes in the instant.
Today I will go and get our sponsor, who is also a student at the school where I work as a librarian. He and his cousin will go with me to pick up the fourth McLean pup for us to puppy raise at Southeastern Guide Dogs. Here is what we know about our new puppy:
- He was born on April 11, 2012 (as someone pointed out, being born on 4-1-1 and being a helper dog is a good sign!8-).
- He is a black, goldadore (or goldadorable as some call them).
- His name is Coach (after Coach Dominick Ciao, our football coach).
- He will be attending home football games.
Life changes in the instant. No break from raising puppies for us! I guess Fred will be refinishing those stairs in 2014. 8-)
Wow! I'm so happy for you all and the new puppy! Make sure to get a lot of pictures. :)

ReplyDeleteIt was one of those books that I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. But it definitely sticks with you! I read it two years ago.
DeleteCant wait to see pictures of coach and hear about all his fun adventures as he grows
ReplyDeleteThanks! We will definitely be writing all about him and the many football games we will be attending. 8-)
DeleteHow exciting!
ReplyDeleteWe all say we are going to take a break... yeah right. lol
I know!!! Our break was the two weeks between puppies. lol 8-)
DeleteI cant't wait to see Coach!
ReplyDeleteBTW, what does goldadore mean?
Ha! Goldadore is a golden retriever and labrador mix. I actually think that Coach is 3/4 labrador and 1/4 golden. He doesn't look much like a golden at all. But he is very handsome!
