Puppy Love


We have a dog. He is terribly cute and the kids all adore him. Do we know what we're in for - probably not! But this little lad longed for a furry buddy. He was totally surprised. Yes! Sweet church friends gave him to us. He's part golden lab / part cow dog (a backer). Hopefully I have those terms right. Farm dogs here are a tremendous help to sheep and cattle/dairy farmers and are often highly trained. 

 Abraham named the little guy Lovey, "because I love him so much."


Mercy cracks us up. Her whole body gets tense with excitement when she's around Lovey and she starts jibber-jabbering very emphatically. She also gets very cross if she only gets to see him for a few seconds.


Enoch loves him tons already, but he would appreciate Lovey more if he'd stop trying to eat his leg and tug his pants off.
 Our Sri Lankan friends Mohan, Aruna and Janaka were excited to meet the little guy!

Mohan especially likes dogs!
