A Wonderful day

Sunday the family visited along with a couple of friends, the weather was great, we spent the afternoon catching up on news, sharing some stories and information from Arizona and being Mother’s Day I received very nice cards and gifts from the girls. Caitlin, our granddaughter shared the news that she was saving her money to buy a dog. She has wanted a dog for a long time and teased us while we were in AZ that she had some exciting news to share with us but would not tell us until we arrived home. I was very impressed that she stuck to her word and waited so long to tell us. Michelle and Chris had decided that the time would be right for Caitlin to have a dog. We had talked about offering Oreo to Caitlin when we got home as Oreo needs to run and play everyday and she just was not getting enough exercise with walking on a leash 4 or 5 times a day. Many RV parks have a fenced area for dogs to play off leash but they are not large enough for Oreo to run the way she loves to run. Woody talked privately to Chris and Michelle then made the offer to Caitlin. Caitlin was so excited; her eyes got big and gave us the biggest grin she could. She and Oreo have always had a special relationship and if anyone would care and love Oreo, she would be the one. Oreo also has always loved Chris so now they had a decision to make and told us they would talk it over as a family and if the answer were yes, they would not be able to take her until the first week of July. That was agreeable to us so now we will wait for the final decision. The day passed very quickly and we so enjoyed seeing our family and friends. I just cannot believe we did not take any pictures, guess we were caught up in the excitement and too busy just enjoying the moment!
