The real, REAL reason I didn't want a dog...truth?
Cause I knew they could break my heart.
My heart was broken for one VERY long hour today when Jake pulled a houdini and managed to get out of our fenced backyard with all of the gates closed and locked and slipped his collar.
Fortunately a neighbor up the street found him and had him in her backyard and another friend recognized him and told my dh when she saw him out patrolling the streets for the little escape artist.
I was CONVINCED that someone had stolen him and that we'd never see him again and it would absolutely break my kids hearts.
I can't believe I could love a dog that much....little stinker.

They really do break your heart. When Mellie got hit by a car, I knew it would be a long time before I would be ready to open up my heart for an animal. The kids and Ty are enough for now!
I'm glad Jake is home, safe and sound!
Yes, they do. That's why it took me so long to get another one....why do we do this to ourselves? Because we can't help it. And because the love we get from them is ultimately worth the heart ache.... :) Glad Jake is back safe and sound.
