Psalm 37:4

"Delight yourself in the Lord
and He will give you the desires of your heart."

God blessed me with a precious, long-longed gift last Sunday... Long story shorter (grin), I have wanted a Bullmastiff puppy for quite a few years, but knowing how expensive they are, and that they need a lot of care, I was certain I wouldn't be able to purchase one for many more years down the road. Until Mama found an ad (this was on Saturday) for a female 6mo old Bullmastiff puppy, FREE to a good home *jaw drops open* I was shocked. I was even more shocked when Daddy said "Okay, I'm not saying no." (Which practically means 'yes' ;)) So we corresponded with her current owner, asked a bunch of questions, then set up a time to meet her. Sunday mid-morning found us standing on the front porch of Miss Jenny's house, petting and talking to the sweetest puppy ♥ She was so perfect... sweet, good-natured, laid-back, intelligent... I mean just *perfect*! My parents said "yes", and I was in love, so we brought her home ♥ After much contemplation, I decided to name her 'Mishka', it's an Armenian name, and it means 'gift of love' which really fit this situation very well... Mishka's current owners wanted to get rid of her because they lived in the city, and Mishka needed room to run and play, they loved her to death, but wanted to do what would be best for her ♥ Mishka is truly a gift of love, from her previous owners, and from God... He blessed me with the perfect pup, I couldn't have asked for a better puppy... and she is something I have wanted for years... God is so good ♥ One more thing, I'm not positive she is full Bullmastiff... her previous owners only knew what they were told by Mishka's owner before them. I do plan on doing a DNA test to see for sure... but even if she isn't full Bullmastiff, I'm still extremely happy to have her, and I will still keep her - no matter if she is a mix :) ♥

 

Nehemiah LOVES Daisy!!

Daisy is the BEST dog! She lets the little ones climb all over her, and she just lies there, sometimes sleeping!
LOL! Elijah dressed her up the other day cause it was cold. :-D
See what I mean?!

Nehemiah also LOVES books! And music... so in this picture he's sitting on Daisy (who he loves), reading a book (which he loves to do), and listening to music (which he also loves)!!

Snugglin' with Dee See (that's how he says "Daisy")

I love the look on his face! :-)

NOO! Don't lick the dog!!

"You talkin' to me?"

See his new top teeth?! He now (at 14 months) has 4 teeth!

I guess that's better than Elijah and Isaac... they didn't have ANY teeth on their first birthdays!!

Daisy is laying flat on her back and Nehemiah was sitting on her stomach, bouncing... and she just laid there! :-D
