Thomas started swim lessons on June 7th, while Karly was still in the NICU. Talk about a hectic schedule. We were so blessed to have Michele off work and able to help with the kids!
Thomas has always been a little nervous about swimming on his own and I was grateful that we decided to do lessons at Snell’s this year with Miss Colleen as his teacher. Thomas loves her and has really blossomed this year. He is now swimming across the pool all on his own!
The day before Thomas’s first swimming lesson a little white dog showed up on our porch. Not having a lot of time, we ignored the dog figuring it would make it’s way home. The next morning we found that it had slept there. Now, feeling sorry for him we gave him some water and several hundred Scooby snacks.
As if I didn’t have enough to do before returning to the hospital I decided it would be a good idea to give the dog a bath and a hair cut. He didn’t have any tags and Michele, the kids, and I were seriously considering trying to convince Dave to let us keep him. We named him, “The Buddy Dog”, after our beloved dog Buddy who also came to our family looking pretty ragged as well!
Did I mention that I have absolutely no idea how to cut a dog’s hair?
Not a bad job…
In the end Michele and the kids saw one lonely sign for a lost white dog. Since we know the pain of losing a pet Michele called. As it turns out his name was Spike. When his owner came to get him she was especially excited about his awesome haircut!
