Dog farts are the worst smell in the world

We have a new dog, Carter. He is a Westie. We have had him about a month, taking the canine population in our house to three. We got Carter so that Beasley our Jack Russell Terrier would have a play buddy. They are so happy together! Fighting, biting, running, sleeping; they do most things together.

My play buddy is leaving soon. Shane is leaving for his six-week west coast extravaganza trip once his lens from Canon comes back. Since Shane has quit his job six weeks ago we have done everything together; shopping, cleaning the house, walking, eating, snuggling. This time has been so precious to me. The thought of being without him is really, really hard. The longest we have been apart is about 15 days and this will be about three times as long.

I guess the reason that I have started this blog is to document this time. I am really excited about the growth that will happen in my relationship with Jesus. Shane is not a distraction, butI know I rely on him a lot to keep my moods in check, make me laugh and just make me feel better. I am interested to know how I will do once my "safety net" (Shane) is gone. Some days will be good......... some not so good.

One of the only things I don't like about Carter is how stinky he is. Truly, dog farts are the worst smell in the world. But he is such a great dog overall, that I can't help but love him. So I guess this time of Shane being gone will be stinky (LOL) but the growth and personal reflection that will happen for both of us is worth it all.

Please be praying for both of us, we appreciate all your love and support.

Grace,
