It really depends on the schedules of the individuals, but I'm planning on having the puppy during the weekdays, and having the co-raiser take the puppy on weekends. That's the plan for now; it might change when the puppy is older. Willow was great at church; Drexel, not so much. If the new puppy is like Willow, weekends wouldn't be a problem. If the puppy is like Drexel, it would be too hard for me to give adequate attention to the puppy and try to get my Sunday church responsibilities done, too.

I think that if you grab the code in the box under the TToT badge, and insert that code in your post (while editing in html mode), that if someone clicked on the badge then, it would redirect them to Lizzi's blog. I think. That was probably clear as mud.

I think it is easy to get caught up in just doing (at any time of the year) that we forget the reason why we are here. When we take time to reconnect, it's easier to remain calm and enjoy the journey. Hope you have fun with your mom and mystery visitor (I still think of the Goodwill guy every time I read that!)

(Drexel is surely styling with the groomationing!)<br />I like the parallels (or symmetry or… analogy… never can keep them straight) you make on tithing and self-development. It so often seems that the things that help us the most, appear, at least initially and/or on-the-surface as being 'the opposite of what we think we have to do'…. makes me think of an old adage about 'you need to give it away to keep it'…. I find (this) counter-intuitive, nearly-impossible and yet is clearly the only way to go, if I am to improve as a person.<br />(PS I hate those costumes that use the bobble-head… there's something just <em>wrong</em> with it…. lol no!

We are currently chaperoning at a church youth dance. Our responsibilities are to sit in the hallway and make sure the young people stay in the room where the dance is going on. We're both on our laptops--he, working on a lesson for next Sunday, and me, writing the Relief Society newsletter for the month. We are enjoying root beer floats while we work. :-) I guess the key is to enjoy everything we do together--whether or not is would traditionally be thought of as "fun." <br /><br />Any guesses on what the puppy will be? Male? Female? Yellow lab, black lab, golden retriever, a golden/lab mix? I'll be curious to find out!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136276061114462192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-14447296246620138312015-08-08T21:24:47.002-06:002015-08-08T21:24:47.002-06:00It isn't Drexel's favorite thing, but he&#...It isn't Drexel's favorite thing, but he's pretty good about it. <br />We try to have fun!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136276061114462192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-9616005120649193702015-08-08T21:24:07.016-06:002015-08-08T21:24:07.016-06:00I'll post photos when we run.

I am very uncomfortable trimming dark toenails because you can't see where to cut. My vet has suggested using a dremel tool to file Louie's toenails but then I worry about the furry feet.

That observation of giving your 10% and giving devotion to God on Sunday leads to the providing of abundance of financial stability and time for other activities is a spiritual principle that can be applied to all things - we receive so much more than we give.
