Hard Worker

Brody accomplished a lot this weekend.

Brody...Our Surfer

When people heard we were getting a lab back in January, we were given an onslaught of warnings.

"He'll destroy your kitchen table!"

"Get ready to replace at least $1000 in stuff"

"He'll eat you out of house and home."

and most memorably... "He'll be a counter surfer."

Jack is now pushing 90 pounds and is 30 inches at the shoulder. He is a horse! His nose easily peers over the dining room table and he could easily reach over the counter.

Now when Sean called me the other day to tell me a dog had pulled a chicken off the counter I would have assumed it was the counter surfer...finally surfing, but NO!

It was this guy...

Our Brodster...the 15 pound, no more than 10 inches at the shoulder Cairn terrier!

While the chicken was a lost cause...Brody was more than proud of himself...and we might add we were kind of proud of him too.

Meet Bordeaux Quaker DeFrehn AKA Brody

Sometimes in life you don't find the things you need... they find you.

Since Abby passed, we knew that the best way to honor her life was to open our hearts to another dog. As good as that sounded, we didn't think it would be possible. I told Sean pretty soon after Abby died that I never wanted to go find another dog and that it would have to just walk onto our porch. Well when I inquired about a 7 month old Cairn, never did I imagine that two hours later it would be on my doorstep and its foster mom wouldn't be taking it home. Brody is much more than we could have asked for. Of course he is not Abby, but he is a carefree, and cuddly puppy who needed us just as much as we needed him. Welcome to the family Brody!
