They say to never go to bed angry at your spouse.
They say don’t marry a rebound lover.
They say don’t buy a car when you’re upset.
They don’t say this, but they should…
When you’ve had a really tough week, and an even worse weekend morning, do NOT go to PetSmart on doggie adoption day.
Meet Otis, the newest member of our family.
He’s a mix of English Sheepdog and Australian Shepherd. He’s 8 weeks old. He’s named after my favorite singer.
And he’s just what I needed.

You know that I am a firm believer in the fact that many dogs are a form of angel placed in our lives by the Lord as a signpost of His grace and mercy.
That being said, you’ve got a smart and active and adorable handful there! ;-p
Congrats.
I’d love to meet Otis in person.

So cute. We had a australian shepherd mix for years – very smart dogs, although it did try to herd us back to the house when one of left.
