Just Like Me

This is Licorice. A dog who wandered into our yard yesterday and got adopted by our kids for 2 hours. She was the cutest and sweetest dog, but kept running towards the road so we let her come inside for awhile. We asked neighbors and no one knew who she belonged to, so we called the animal shelter and they came to retrieve her. Of course that prompted lots of tears from the kids! The shelter will hold her for 11 days and then she will be put up for adoption if her family doesn't claim her. And as soon as Joel got home last night... "Daddy, can we have Licorice forever?" Oh, and we have no idea if the dog's name is Licorice or not. It's just what my kids picked for her.



The other night we were going to a birthday party and Amelia decided she wanted to look just like me. I curled her hair (she wanted a perm but I don't know if they will give perms to 6 year olds), she picked out a blue shirt like me, and jeans like me. I need to remember this day for when she's 16 and decides she doesn't want to dress anything like me!
