Izzy !

This morning has been busy all ready! Kelly insisted she wanted to go to school, so I had to meet with the school nurse. Now we will wait and see how long Kelly lasts! Then we went and well... we went and rescued a black lab puppy! I know that there are going to be a lot of nay Sayers about this! There was somebody in neighboring Pratville at risk of being evicted for having a puppy. So he put her up for free on Craigslist. I look there at times looking for things for the house. I saw the ad yesterday morning and could not ignore it! We need a little more joy in this house! So now we have a 4 month old bundle of energy and joy! Her name is Izzy and is extremely lovable and sweet! Our goal now is to teach her all sorts of new tricks! The cats are not as pleased by our new friend! I have also called to inquire about our food stamp benefits and am waiting to hear back from my case manager. Now the rest of the day will be making sure we all understand Izzy's potty signals, so the potty is on the outside of the house and not the inside! And to see if we can teach Trick to stop growling at her, because that is making Izzy bark like a fool!
