Bye Bye Doggy!

On Sunday Toby went out to get the newspaper and this puppy came up to him and would not leave. She started camping out on our front porch and would not leave. She loves Toby and did not want to leave him. She would follow him everywhere. We tried to find the owner but we weren't able to so we found a home for the puppy. She lives out in Bandera Texas on a farm. She is a 4 month old Blue Heeler and will be a great cattle dog. I am glad we were able to find her a good home and not have to bring her to the pound. But poor Lucas cried his eyes out when we drove away from dropping her off. He kept saying I want my doggy. I want my doggy. We had to have a long talk about how she wasn't his dog and when he potty trains then he will get a dog. As much as I don't want a dog, I will do anything right now to have Lucas potty trained. After Lucas got over that the dog was not coming home with us he then started crying about wanting to go back to the farm and ride the horses. Poor little boy. He would make such a good little farm boy. Then after Lucas got over the fact that he can not go back and ride the horses right now, he continued to tell us that Tuff and Harley are dead (my parents dogs). Well Harley is dead, he passed away the day after Thanksgiving, but Tuff sure isn't. So he had us talking about Tuff being dead the entire way home and refused to believe that he isn't. I love that little boy. He sure does make us laugh. Those of you who really know Lucas can probably get a good laugh about some of the things he says too.
