    What a wonderful thing you and your family are doing by raising these dogs. I don't think I could give one up after training! LOL Drexel looks like a real cutie. Have fun with him. May God bless you and your family.

    Oh those puppy faces! What you do is so wonderful but I don't know how you manage to let them go. I know it is the right thing to do but it has to just tug at your heart. At least you got a new fuzzy puppy to fill the gap! thanks for sharing them.

Well, unfortunately, it did. On the bright side, the store quickly picked up the second range and refunded my money. I'm putting appliance purchases on the back burner (!) for the moment. 

2. I'm thankful for temples. I went one morning this week to the temple. I'm always amazed at how much insight comes in just an hour or two of reflection.

4. I'm thankful for my brother. …
