Judah chased, and carried, and pet, and ran squealing from the 2 precious labs (just a little smaller than he is) for almost an hour! It seemed an ordained evening for Jason and Hannah as well because Judah played himself into exhaustion :)
But then...
For DAYS, and every second of every waking moment upon DAYS, Judah requested a puppy of his own :) We challenged Judah to consider where the dog would sleep, where he would play and stay when were at church...he had answers for everything (the simplest of which was to just buy a new house). Every meal Judah ate became an opportunity to share food with his dog...every cartoon we watched became a new name for his dog...every yard we passed became the home of his future dog.
It was all so simple...
"Let's get a backyard, and get a dog, and we'll call him Martha, and he'll eat APPLES!" - Judah
Our simple solution to our puppy crazed 3-year old?? A family trip to Petland! We played with 3 different dogs...Judah scratched his puppy itch, Jason picked a baby retriever to cuddle, and even Paisley tried teething on a little shih-poo :)
