How to get kids to play in the rain...

Get a dog...


Meet Bolt. She was found by Dave and his coworkers and brought to our home. We took her to the shelter and waited for someone to claim her since I could tell she was a family dog. Dave kept calling the shelter to see if she was still there and when they said they could uthenize her at anytime we had to go get her.

She is a very smart dog. They think she is 3-4 months old. She has already learned to sit and almost has walking on the leash down. She makes sure that everyone is with us when we are walking - if someone is too far ahead she will try to catch up so they aren't alone, but if someone is lagging behind she stops, turns to look at them and waits until they catch up.
The kids love her to death and have spent more time outside in the last week (even in NM cold - hahaha) than they have in quite a while. Dallin gets so excited to go see the dog, but ends up crying because he usually gets knocked down. at least now it's not because she is jumping on him - she just doesn't have good spacial awareness yet, and bumps him with her back end.
We are excited for this new adventure.
