Hello everyone! Dave and I are starting this blog so that friends and family can keep up with everything going on in our lives, and so I can have a hobby.
This is the latest photo of the family, taken on May 3rd at Caring Hands Animal Shelter in Newton, Kansas. This was adoption day for Jake, our chocolate lab red tick coon hound puppy. He is now 7 months old, and has become a big part of our family. On April 26th, we lost our wonderful Rocket, when he was hit by a car right out in front of our house. This was a very traumatic event, especially for me, because we were joined at the hip.
Even though we were completely devastated, we decided to turn our tragedy into something positive, and we started looking around on the internet for a puppy to adopt. As soon as we s
aw his photo, we knew he was the one. So, the next day I called the shelter to see if he was still available, and was upset to learn that while he was still available, he was in the sick unit because he had developed a bad cough. Luckily, it was nothing serious, and we were able to adopt him that next weekend. Little did we know we would be adopting a small horse! :)

Rest in Peace my Rocket Sprocket!
