Prince

Prince...not the artist formerly known as, but Prince, our new puppy dog has quickly become part of our family, and we are all just crazy about him. The battle has always been, "Do we get an inside or outside dog?" Michael grew up with inside animals, I did not. So, we compromised. For the most part, he stays in our yard and runs around marking his territory on our fence all of the time. But, he gets to come in some in the evenings and play with the girls, and sleep on his little bed until we go to bed. So far, so good in regard to accidents on my carpet...not a single one. And for those of you who might be concerned about him sleeping outside when it is cold...he has a fabulous doghouse that is actually a part of our shed, and we installed a heating lamp for him. What a spoiled dog he is getting to be!

Gracie got to name Prince. At first she wanted to name him Jasmine, as in the Disney Princess Jasmine. But after explaining that he was a boy, she decided on "God" or "Jesus." How I love that girl! But, we told her that there is only one God and Jesus so we finally settled on Prince. If he can't be a princess, then a prince is the next best thing.
Here is the highly anticipated revealing of Prince:





He is crazy patient with the girls and doesn't mind them hugging on him all of the time. I think he is more patient with them than I am sometimes!
