Wheeler



Today I am forgoing Favorite Fridays and participating in Kelly's Korner Show Us Your Life - Pets.

As most of you know, the husband and I have a Boykin Spaniel named Wheeler.  We got Wheeler in May after searching the world over for a Boykin.  Boykins are a fairly new breed and kind of hard to come by.  We found the perfect litter in Atlanta. Only there was one problem...the husband wanted a male, and the litter was five females!!  So we decided to take a female and we are so glad we did (I secretly wanted a female all along)!

First Family Photo!  She was just a baby!!


Wheeler and the Husband during her toddler days.



Wheeler as a preteen.  She is growing up so fast!



These preteen months have been the most difficult.  She has decided that obedience is overrated, and she likes being Miss Independent!  Can't wait to see what the teenage months have in store for us!

Favorite Friday - Bible Verse

 5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.  Psalm 30:5


There are so many Bible verses that I love...there is no way to decide on a favorite.  However, this verse has special meaning. My mother has quoted this verse to me more times than I can remember, and it has stuck with me through the years.  I actually think it is the first verse I ever memorized - thanks Mom!

A chewing phase

Wheeler is going through a chewing/destroying phase.  Items chewed/nearly or totally destoryed by Wheeler in the past 4 days:

1) Television remote - still works, but now has a little character
2) Throw pillows - I needed new ones anyway...
3) Blankets - still useable
4) Kitchen rug - thankfully I bought it from Walmart, and it was dirt cheap
5) The husbands hat - completely destroyed
6) Pill bottle - completely destroyed. Miraculously she did not get the bottle open (that would not have ended well).
7) Plastic cup - completely destroyed
8) Bills - salvageable.  If our dog eats our bills that means we don't have to pay them, right?




Forgot to mention this is the 2nd hat she has destroyed!
