Today was another big day in the Fletcher family. We added a family member, now before you get any ideas...we are out of the gene pool when it comes to children but we can add animals. So today we returned to the Humane Society to pick up our newest member Buttercup.
She is a 5 month old hound/retriever/boxer/who knows what else mix.
So far, so good. The kids are beside themselves with excitement, she is beside herself with excitement!
The first time we met her, the kids decided we should name her Hyper because she had so much energy. Daddy decided that might not be the best name for her, so today while Mommy did paperwork everyone else decided that maybe Buttercup was a better name.
When we got home this afternoon, Abram looked at Mommy and said, "Mommy, our house is kind of like a zoo now!" "Yeap, 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 fish, 2 kids, a Daddy and a Mommy...it sure does feel like a zoo!"
As just a little background, this all came about because Mommy and Daddy decided that when we had more room and space for animals Mommy could have chickens in return Daddy could get a dog, soooo we now have more room and space for animals to run around. Daddy got his dog...stayed tuned for Mommy's big day. Oh and did I mention, Katie has been asking for a dog from Santa for at least 2 years now (that and a horse...hhhmmm). Abram on the other hand wants a turtle, still working on that one.
Welcome to the family, Buttercup, we think you are going to fit right in!
As a side note, we have to give major props to the Blue Ridge Humane Society. Their animals are so well taken care of, the people who work their truly know each animal and really want to match the right animal to its right person.
