A pet dog for Christmas!

Hello Everyone!

The last couple of months have been a bit rough for the entire family. We've all mourned the loss of Hans in individual ways. We have decided to get the boys a pet Golden Retriever for Christmas to help ease the loss while we wait for our new service dog to be trained. For all of you doing the math...yes, that means we'll have 2 dogs by this time next year!

4 Paws for Ability has worked with us to find a good match. Her name is Cinnamon. She is a year old and actually went through some of the service dog training...however, she was shy in large public places, so she did not make the cut to become a certified service dog. She IS obedience trained with the same commands that we will be using with our new service dog, she's house broken, she is not aggressive, and she gets along well with other dogs. We will be picking her up on the 22nd...until then it's a surprise, so if you see my boys PLEASE DON'T SAY ANTHING!!!
Dave and I are very excited about getting her. We saw so many positive things for our family in the short amount of time that we had Hans. We have high hopes for this year.

Thanks for all the prayers and kind words. The support of our friends and family have helped us tremendously.
