Jasmine's Surgery

Jasmine had to have a surgery done and she had to stay over night. This was the first time, other than when we go on vaca. We sure did miss her!!!! Daddy dropped her off on his way to work then the kids and I picked her up the next morning. I was a little worried about getting her on my own, we found out she weighs 96 lbs, but she is so big she basically just walked in the car, didn't have to jump. So it all worked out and we didn't have to wait a whole another day!

She even activated the passenger seat, the car kept beeping and would say buckle passenger seatbelt ;)

We left the kids pick her out a get well present for when she got home. The bone was gone in an hour and the elephant was destroyed in a day ;) I think she liked it!

When we got home she just laid in her cage, we think partially because she was drugged and partially she was mad at us for leaving her with strangers ;)

Eventually she got over being mad and for the next week (ok she still is..) thought she had to lay on my lap :)

Welcome....

Jasmine Hamsher....our new four legged addition :)

We had such a fun father's day surprising daddy with the dog he has wanted for a VERY long time.

My mom's cousin breeds german shepherds and said if she was unable to sell one of them she would let us know. She had left my mom know last week that it was looking like she would have one and thought it would be cool to give him for father's day. So just to be safe in a round about way I asked Joe if we were still interested. He kept saying oh I don't want to get my hopes up I'm sure she will sell them all and I would just kind of laugh. So the end of the week, I was pretty sure one was coming our way so I got a cage (thanks Ryan & Danielle, didn't want to buy one yet because he would know then) and hid it in the boys closet. We thought Saturday evening we would be able to get her and bring her home to surprise daddy, but it didn't work out. I found out late Saturday night that she hadn't sold any of the girls (6 of them) so we could choose. Well then I kind of wanted Joe to be able to pick. Sunday morning when I got Keldan up we were going over to say happy daddys day to him and say we are getting a puppy :) When we came down, he said happy daddys day and couldn't remember the rest so I said and what are we getting and he goes a puppy! Daddy was extremely shocked! He kept saying your joking, your not serious, oh but I was :) He couldn't believe I did all that without him knowing, I can be sneaky sometimes ;) Right away he found a spot for the cage, and him & Keldan put it together. They then had to make a trip to Walmart to get a bed, food, dishes, and her own ropes. He was acting like a kid, made me soo happy to see him that excited. That evening we made the trip to Winesburg and chose our puppy. She came to him right away and he just knew. They were all so cute, very hard to choose (at least I thought so). He came up with the name Jasmine. The boys absolutely love her! Keldan helps take care of her and sit with her, and Lucas likes to tackle & kiss her. She does so good with them, likes to tackle them too. After 2 days of being with us, she is doing very good. For the most part she lets you know if she needs something or has to go out.

Some pics from her first day with us :)
