I can't believe we have a new member of our family in the "pet" category. We got a new yellow labrador dog named Emma yesterday. It is kind of interesting how we ended up with her. Emma was born almost two years in Dec. She was owned by Lynn's co-worker Dean's brother. Lynn had been to their house in St. George before and had seen the mother and said if we ever get a dog he wanted it like that one. So, when the mother had pups Dean asked us if we wanted one. After considering it we decided we were doing good raising 6 kids and couldn't handle training a new pup and so we told them no. A few weeks ago Dean told us we had another chance at the dog because Dean's brother had decided to find her a new home as Emma and her mom were having too much competition between them. Also , their daughter was going to college. So, we decided we couldn't pass up having a trianed dog and took the plunge! We had told Robert and Joanna a dog was coming but not the other kids. When her previous owner brought her to our house yesterday the kids were pretty shocked when they found it it was their new dog! Kyle kept saying "it's not their dog anymore, it's ours, huh? The kids are loving it!!! I can't imagine how many times today our family is going to say the word "Emma" She has been very good so far.
