What I needed

When something bad happens in life, I always hear people say "it's all part of gods plan" or "part of the bigger picture." I do agree with these statements but I personally think that in these times of huge sorrow and pain god sends someone/something to help get you threw these tought times.  There are alot of people in my life that I know God sent to me because I needed them. But one  thing God sent me that he knew I needed was Dagen.

Dagen and Easton

Dagen came to me in a time of sorrow. I wanted no part in getting Dagen. In my opinion it was way to soon. Known the less Cody and Dad drug me to Riceville to meet a 12 week old Weim. Cody had DREAMED about getting a Wiem his whole life so who was I to stop him.  We had the choice of two male puppies. Dad, Cody, and I all agreed on Dagen. HARD to believe but when we brought Dagen home he was shy and wanted nothing to do with being in the house.

This now 70lb lap dog is just what I needed. No one understands me as well as he does. He knows when I'm annoyed he should go and hide, and when I want to love on him he knows to stand and take it. He was potty trained in less than a week!  Other than barking constantly at the neighbors he's an angel. He's also a little hyper but that comes with having Weimaraner. I couldn't ask for a better dog for the kids he's so protective of them and tolerates the poking and yelling and hitting very well. (of course we don't allow the kids to do this but it has happend)

Some may say I'm crazy but I know this beautiful animal was meant for me!
