"Puppy is not a Toy."
Mood:  hug me
Howdy Everyone...

Our little Miss Shiloh is quite the little poop machine! If I had known that at this point, bending over to clean up puppy poop would hurt so much, I think I'd have waited on getting a puppy!

Jonah hates dealing with her, unless of course, he is playing with her. Feeding her, taking her outside, cleaning up pee or poop...not in the fun zone! He asked this morning, as Shiloh was chewing on his toe (he doesn't care, he can't feel it) "Why do we only have two dogs?" I wasn't sure how to answer that and instead answered with another question..."Well, how many do you think we should have?" And then came Jonah's response: "Ten hundred and ninety-four." Oh...OK....we'll go to the shelter today to take care of that....

Daniel is awesome with the puppy. He rarely complains and understands that taking her outside teaches her to go potty outside. He likes feeding her, still doesn't quite understand that she has to go out right after she eats...but that's ok. He is so sweet with her when she goes potty outside...I've told him that when she does her thang outside, we have to tell her what a good girl she is (Jonah is still stuck on the fact that I don't tell him what a good boy he is when he pees!) and Daniel says "Good girl, Shiloh!" its very cute.

Jonah has started calling her "Shy" and its very sweet!

Shiloh is afraid of Sam. She runs away. Sam loves "his" puppy a whole lot. He wants to hold her and pick her up and carry her. Which sounds very cute, but he usually ends up choking her while he tries to carry her. Shiloh is very good, she kind of just deals with it, but if she can get away from him, she does.

Its been hot as blazes her for the past few days. Not much else to say about that...I feel like I'm going to melt. I used to enjoy the hot weather, but I think with having to keep the boys inside during this type of weather (they overheat and go into a condition we affectionately call "Vapor Lock"...it may sound comical...but vapor lock is a very bad thing...not good at ALL! And we go to the ends of the earth (especially with Jonah) to avoid vapor lock at all cost) So, I think with kind of having to stay inside or only in cool places for so long, I've just gotten away from being able to tolerate the heat. So now, I melt. We went to the splash park yesterday, there is a small zero depth water area at a local park and its (my favorite word) FREE! So, we have spent time there the past couple days. I even splashed around yesterday! OK...not much else going on...

Being very candid, I'm really struggling with the Biblical principle of forgiveness. I'd appreciate prayers to soften my heart to begin the process of learning to forgive fully. I'm tired of the baggage I'm carrying around because I am currently unable to unload the burden of what I perceive as hurts against me. I appreciate it very much.

Boy, that was a downer, eh? Ha...on a happier note...here's a photo of Shiloh! Have a great day!
