One addition to the family before the much anticipated addition comes in a few weeks!

Saint, has enjoyed being the only dog but we continued to feel he would be happier with a buddy.

So after many months of waiting for the right timing and the right dog - God put us together.

Last week we found a Great Pyrenees, named Petunia.

We knew after reading her story on petfinder that we were interested in her.

After we talked to the nice folks at Zeus' Place in New Orleans we were 90% convinced she was the right one for us.

We met "Petunia" on Saturday and we were convinced that she was "our girl." She answers to "Tiara" better than she did to Petunia.

She is a year and a half old and so the "hard part" of getting a new dog isn't an issue.

She is potty trained, crate trained, calm, and laid back!

She chews appropriately or drops it when asked to.

Saint who is equally wonderful is used to having been the "puppy" of the bunch in his previous home and the "only" here for over a year. So he doesn't know what to do with the "new puppy" that dwarfs him by 3 times in weight and about 5 times in body size.

We are already working on the finishing touches so to speak with Tiara.
So far she has proved an absolute joy!!!
The biggest challenge: getting her to realize that a thunder storm is no big deal.

Thank you Lord! You have answered another prayer in the Sodini family prayer requests.

Human baby update: 33 weeks and counting. We are waiting to meet you little one!
