So this cute little one is a stray that our neighbors found.We told them that we would foster her (who couldn't foster such a cute girl?) until we could find a home for her and asked that they would still look also. Well those of you who know us, know that we are huge dog lovers! Lindsay first off wanted to keep her, but our rental lease only has Boomer on it. We didn't name her for almost a week hoping that we could find a home and not get too attached. Well we ended up naming her-Sadie. When she first came to us we could tell that she had worms so we went to the vet and got de-wormer and took care of the nasty little things. She has honestly been the best puppy we have ever watched, and let me tell you we have not only had plenty of dogs of our own but watched many other military members' pets while they were TDY (temporary duty- business trip) or Deployed. She is not perfect but has picked up potty training well and is eager to learn. Just all around great.....
....Sad news is she has got Parvo! Yikes! She has been in the hospital since this weekend and I am picking her up today to help her continue to recover which is a miracle in itself. Most puppies don't survive. She is a total survivor. So we are now debating whether or not to try to convince our landlord to let us get a new dog, or still try to find a good home for her.
On other news.....Lindsay and I had a great weekend! We went hiking this weekend to keep in shape and keep the skin on our heels tough ( I know sounds totally lame, but blisters suck on the trail!) and then I made Proposition 8 calls with my dear friend Amy from our ward.
It is so amazing at what some people believe on this issue. They think it is just about the definition of marriage, but it goes so much deeper. Parents will lose rights to what their children are taught in schools, and religious institutions such as LDS Family Services could lose their right to help with adoptions. HOw ridiculous!!!! It is so sad, so we were calling to make people aware of repurcussions. Please anyone who knows anyone in California please tell them to check out protectmarriage.com and vote YES on PROP 8!!!!
Later on Saturday we went to a church function where I got to play softball and we had a big picnic dinner. It was so fun! OUr team lost but it was fun anyways.
Sunday we rested, and then Last night for Family night we did self defense with our friends Orin and Amy! Orin is a highway patrolman and knew a bunch of stuff, so he taught us how to take a gun out of someone's hands and get out from underneath someone who had you pinned down, and flip them over your back. It was outstanding! I like to know how to protect myself!
Hope you all had a great weekend too!

I am not a pet person by any means...but that puppy looks beautiful! If they stayed little I might consider keeping one...but I don't like the maintenance. I guess I'm just selfish. You are awesome to help!! I hope she stays healthy.
what a cute puppy! You guys are so nice to do that. Your hike looks like fun, I wish we could go with you, and not wear any coats!!! It snowed here a couple of weeks ago! love ya
That is a very cute puppy. So what did you end up naming her?
I agree with prop 108 don't forget Az has the same prop but it is 102
Sounds like you had fun on your hike
Very cute puppy!Good for you calling people for prop 8. My Dad & brother held signs the other day and they got a bunch of thumbs up- this one guy got out of his car and started to approach, my Dad started to approach him. Let's just say he backed down got and in his car and gave a thumbs down and drove away. It's really scary what is happening in the world, how they are making things that are absoluately wrong- acceptly right.
