Puppy Love

Preston has been obsessed with dogs for as long as I can remember. It was actually his first obsession of his life (other than his Mama of course). His first word was dog and anytime he sees a dog he goes nuts. When I was pregnant with Preston, Chip and I decided to get a dog. Her name was Wrigley and she was a black German Shepherd and we loved her so much. Unfortunately she had some major aggression issues towards people she did not know and it was no longer safe for us to have her.

Well a couple of weeks ago Chip and I were sitting on the couch talking after Preston was in bed. We decided we wanted to get Preston a puppy. We went that weekend and picked her out. She was a 4 month old black lab and was absolutely precious. After we paid for her and were all in the car she sat right next to Preston in the back seat. She gave Preston lots of kisses and he was loving it. After about 5 minutes driving home I looked at Preston's face and it had huge welts on it. He is allergic to dog's saliva. We had to turn around and take "Dawson" back :(

Luckily Preston didn't understand that Dawson was his puppy, so he didn't even know that we took her back. Hopefully in a few years he will grow out of this allergy and he will be able to have a dog if he wants one.

Yesterday Chip came home with awesome news. A member where he works was talking to him about how they had lost their 8 year old son's black lab puppy. Chip told him our Dawson story and showed her a picture he had taken of him. They lady screamed and said that was their dog! Chip told her he was at the Montgomery Animal Shelter. The lady called the shop 30 minutes later and told him she got him back. She also said Dawson was a very expensive pure bread lab and had had over $3,000.00 worth of training. We both are so happy he is with his original family :)
