the dog he never wanted

Remember the post when I talked about giving up the 20 year dream of a pot-belly pig for my dog Molly. Well, about a month ago I was able to head home and bring Molly with me. It was the first time Drew was able to meet Molly. What had happened was...
Let me explain Drew and his experience with animals. Drew did not grow up with any sort of animals. Our first dog, I got when I was dating my husband and took his opinion (absolutely no dog) very lightly. We were JUST dating and although it was in the back of my mind that he would be my husband someday. I was not SURE, so I got makenzie our lab/basset hound mix. Which after time, Drew soon fell in love with her.
For those of you that know me, I AM one of those WEIRD dog people. Not really weird, I dont refer to her as my "fur" kid or anything, but I love her just the same. The newest addition Molly is a super super sweet boxer mix and you all know I fell in love immediately, hence the begging and pinky swears that took place with my most loving husband. Drew had claimed he wasn't sure if he had room to include her in our lives and that she might be ignored, in order to make sure makenzie our first dog doesn't feel slighted. yeah yeah Drew right....
Drew has rules about dogs on furniture (especially our bed) the rule is NO DOGS. I will say I agree, but I am not a very good disciplinarian when it comes down to it.

Anyways, the one evening i came upstairs to find my husband with our newest dog Molly...


Yes, there he is snuggling with her, in bed! What happened to the NO DOG rule?? huh??
Of course a few weeks later we went kayaking with my cousins, and Drew wanted Molly on his kayak the whole time, so they could bond.


So, I guess Drews love IS big enough for two dogs. I have a feeling I may be able to convince him otherwise on the pot-belly pig issue, what do you think??

  1. Hey there! I just got your message this morning - I went to bed so early last night! haha I'm guessing you wanted to link to your old post? If that's what you wanted to do, I usually go to that post first and copy the address. Then I go to the new blog I'm writing and highlight the word/words that I want the link to be on. In your tool bar where you click to add pictures, there should be a button to click that says "link" I think it looks like a chain link (at least on mine it does). Click on that and there'll be a spot for you to put the address you copied. That's about it! Hope that helps....I'll try to call later too!
