Hello Daisy, Goodbye friend

In March we got ourselves a puppy, she is a lab/pointer mix, and as sweet and lovable as she could possibly be. We have thoroughly enjoyed her. However, we did not have a fenced in yard for her to play in and our house is too small to support a medium sized dog; and the busier we have gotten, the less attention our sweet little Daisy was getting and I was experiencing more guilt about her than enjoyment. So alas, I place an ad on KSL Classified yesterday, and I was surprised to get several calls on her in the first hour. Surprisingly, her new owner lives less than a mile away from us and has been looking for weeks for just the perfect dog. Goodbye Daisy, we will miss you!




After tearing up everything in the yard, Daisy settled in for a nap in the cat bed.

Tatumisms

1. Somehow Tatum decided Aunt Cassie is an angel, probably because we described both angels and Cassie as "Heavenly Father's Helpers." So the other day, Tatum was asking if Cassie was an angel. We said no. She asked "why?" We said, "Well, because she's not dead for one." Tatum shouted at the top of her lungs, "SHE'S NOT DEAD?!?!" Then she threw her hands up and clapped, "SHE'S ALIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!!"

2. Tatum was lying in bed with me until Zach came in. She threw her little arms around my neck and said, "Mommy, when daddy comes in here, would you go over to him and..." "Yes Tatum?"
"Give him a wedgie?" After I laughed, I told her that she should give him a wedgie. She said, "We'll both give him a wedgie."

3. Tatum came into my room from bed because she "couldn't see Tyger or dad ANYWHERE." She said, "I'm pretty sure a monster ate them. I'll never have a dad again!" I told her they were probably out putting the dog to bed. She said, "Well then I'm pretty sure the dog ate them. I'll never have a dad again!"
