Our Sierra Girl!

My goodness, it has been a long time since I've posted! Partly because this has turned into an adoption blog and nothing has happened with an adoption lately. But, other things have happened in life, so here goes a new blog post!

The beginning of September we had to put down our sweet Ellie girl. She had gotten out while we were gone one day and somehow injured herself, resulting in her back legs being paralyzed. We took her to the vet and tried a cortisone shot, but the next day we knew we would have to put her down. Our hearts were broken.

A few weeks later, we were just missing having a dog around. We started looking thru some ads and found a German Shepherd mix puppy in our area... for free!! The owners sent a picture of her and we absolutely fell in love! We immediately went out to pick up our new pup! Already she has stolen our hearts and helped heal the wounds left from losing Ellie. We named our sweet girl, Sierra! She has been learning to sit and fetch and not jump and all those things puppies need to learn! Joe is especially happy to have another 4 legged companion!
