Puppy Love

A few months ago Faith said she wanted a puppy. And not just any puppy but she wanted a Boston Terrier.

Knowing these were expensive dogs Mike and I felt pretty safe telling her that if she saved up her money she could have one.

So, by the first of June my child had saved up enough to buy her dog. Not only did she save up the money from babysitting, and just saving her chore money but for every 20 dollars she tithed 5 dollars back to God (her choice). Also during this time of saving she bought all her own clothes and extras. What an awesome example of God blessing you financially for being a good steward. We are so proud of her!

So this week, she found an ad for a Bugg puppy. For those who don't know that is a Boston terrier/ pug mix. A designer dog as they call them. A mutt as I call them. She wrote back and forth with this women and Faith decided she would just go and look at these puppies to see if it was a right fit.

We drove down part way to Springfield, Il yesterday and met this nice couple in a parking lot. They had their kennel with three bugg girls and two pug boys. The lady told her to just sit down and open the kennel and see what she thought.

Oh my. They were all adorable, of course, but this little one ran right up to Faith and started licking and licking her face. I took one look at that and knew it was all over.

She told me she was in love.

So, she paid the lady and off we went.

She was pretty good last night and Jasmine is okay so far with her. I think she will like her better when she is a little bigger and can play more on her level. Luckily, Jasmine doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body and loves other dogs.

As parting I thought I would post one more picture of little dog. Oh, her name is June Bugg. Or Junie B. Jones. If you have little girls you will get that, otherwise you can Google it.
