I swore I'd never...


Okay, it's official...

The end of the world is near...

I let my kids get a dog. Not only is it a dog, but it's an "inside dog." We had a member of our ward pass away recently (he died in a bad motorcycle accident) and it's left his wife pretty devistated. She is having a hard time making ends meet, and taking care of this dog was just too much for her right now. We also took her chickens, so now we have a total of around 14.
In case you can't tell from the picture, it's a Boston Terrier--we named it "Polly." (So, yes, it's a girl.) It's cute and VERY hyper, but I think it will be fun. We need to house train it, which will be a challenge, but we'll make it work. Ian is SO happy, and I even let it sit on my lap and petted it today--a HUGE step for me.
So now at the Cobb Family Farm, we have four goats, about 14 chickens, one dog and two kids. We're happy...
