Our friend
Amy has been talking to our kids about getting a dog for years! I remember her telling Lucy that she was going to get a dog sometime and Lucy took that as, "Amy's getting
us a dog". How do you break the news to a 3 year old that that dog will be Amy's dog not her dog? That was a couple of years ago. There has been countless online searching for dogs, video watching of dogs (on Amy's iphone), dreaming about "the day", thinking about breeds and sizes and colors and names. Ironically, since the beginning of this Amy-dog pursuit,
we got
our first family dog, Scout, and have entered the world of dog-love. So, the time finally came for Amy and her sister, Ashley, to get that long-sought after puppy.
They found the breeder and decided on the dog, and then we all waited for this puppy to enter the neighborhood. Amy decided on the name Patsy Cline for her girl Golden Doodle puppy. It really is the perfect name. Amy, lover of country music, farm girl at heart, clever in all she does, named her puppy Patsy Cline. Well, Lucy had to have a quick education about this name sake. So one Sunday afternoon, we had a
Patsy Cline YouTube overview and spent some time seeing, hearing, and singing some Patsy. Lucy studied her outfit and tried to replicate it. She began to dream about the day she and Patsy would meet.
