We took Annie over to the chunk of land our family is purchasing. We’ve been over several times as we wait for signing day and yesterday after a hard day’s work, I ran the kids over to enjoy a cold rootbeer in the open space we hope to build a new house on next year. All Annie needed to hear was “Truck?” and she was OFF for a ride with her favorite people.
She sniffed..she ran…she explored…she pooped…
…I think she liked it.
And my littlest boy watched her play and he said “Mama? I think Annie’s happy here. She looks just as happy as a newborn hedgehog.”
That’s our girl. Wild Alaskan, tough survivor, farm dog extraordinaire…Admiral Annie…
…and just as cute as a baby hedgehog.
