Update: the dog day 3

As I mentioned in a previous post, I know nothing about dogs, and I have never loved a dog.  I had always looked with skepticism on animal owners who made the pet a true member of the family.

Now I know a little about dogs, and I love this dog.

I feel that Heavenly Father loves me, and sent me a dog that happened to be trained, follows me with devotion wherever I go, and has never barked.  She is a submissive, loving dog.  I did not have to do anything in the way of training.

I feel for her a little how I felt when Sarah was first born (to a lesser degree of course).  I think about her and worry about her and plan her days, and rejoice over her bowel movements, and take note of everything she eats and drinks.  I am a little crazy.

She is a pit bull.   However, she has not shown an ounce of aggression towards anyone, and Sarah loves to lay down and be with her.  Dayton the dog is still a little downtrodden from her past life, but she is getting better.  She has been a happy addition to our family.

I feel that even though we have not yet been able to have another child, Heavenly Father has sent another companion for Team Rail and especially for me.
