The Nicest Things

Well, Fluke is in heat so we have MANY dogs just hanging around just waiting for her to come out. It's all good because I would like a puppy out of Fluke and a cute neighbor dog named Bobby. I plan to get Fluke fixed after the puppy business is over, even though she'll be 11 years old. I don't want to go through all this crap again! Errr....the dogs keep me up all night! So, the kids were jumping on the trampoline and Melia put her shoes on the ground while she jumped. Kids being kids, she forgot all about her shoes until I saw one laying on the ground and I looked all over for the other but no shoe. I went up to the neighbors, who have a few chocolate labs, to see if one of the dogs carried it home. It happened with Sydney's shoe. I found it all chewed up but wearable. The owners hadn't seen the shoe so we went home. Get this, a few minuets ago the guy came to the door with new shoes for Melia! How nice!!! I told him I couldn't except them but he insisted (they don't have kids but know it takes a lot to raise them, he looked happy just to give them) and said that if his dogs are bothering us just let him know. Melia is making a nice thank you picture that she will take up to our neighbors tomorrow after school. So nice!
