Dogs

My children love Dogs.  We all love Dogs.

Dogs defined as “common animals with four legs, especially kept by people as pets or to hunt or guard things”. 

Ever since my daughter was little, my girl has always loved Dogs.  The Joy on her face when someone would say “Yes” after my daughter would ask “can I please pat your dog”.

My son also loves Dogs.

For so long we would deliberately go to Cronulla Mall, just so that we could meet Dogs and pat Dogs.  And we often pick our local park so that we can pat and walk Dogs.

My children have so much excitement and Joy from being around Dogs.

I had a dog called Boots when I was little.  I loved Boots so much.  He was my friend.  He was always there for me. 

This year has been a big year.  It has been stressful and illuminating too and it has been a year of challenges and of realising priorities.  It has been a year that has been exhausting and I am still so tired and yet I still stay up late to have my own time even though I should sleep and get rest.  And we may have the doubters and the critics and those with an opinion telling us to wait and not get a puppy now, that it is hard work and we are already busy and tired - yet I know that Dogs bring Joy, I know a puppy of our own will bring us the greatest Joy.  My husband and I are a great team.  My husband and my children are my life.  We will work together for the best of our family which we have agreed will include a puppy.

On 17 September I decided to start researching about Dogs and to my delight learnt all about Cobberdogs, such a beautiful breed.  And since that day I have been watching videos of Dogs and scanning photos on Facebook and reading stories and my love for Dogs has grown too.  I love looking at photos of Dogs.  This has brought me so much Joy.

I have found a Breeder and we have told our children we are getting a puppy and now each day we wait and check and once the waitlist opens, we can’t wait to put in an Adoption Form and pay our deposit, we are ready to go.  Now we just have to think of a name for our puppy.  I can’t wait to see the Joy on our children’s faces when we bring our puppy home.  The Joy will certainly outweigh the extra work and I am blessed by a husband that is hardworking and hands on and he is happy and supportive of welcoming a little one into our lives.
