Bath Time

Ever since we got Taddy back the kids have been begging to bathe her.

Oliver in his element!  Seriously, this kid has a spiritual connection to water.

The Story of Taddy

In the spring of 1999, while taking a class at Bethel, Damian brought home an abandoned puppy.  We placed an ad in the newspaper, but nobody claimed her.  We decided to keep this young puppy with floppy ears and name her Taddy. 

When Damian made the decision to go to chiropractic school in Texas, we knew we had to give her up.  She was not an apartment kind of dog.  Luckily, a friend was able to take and care for her.  We were unsure of Taddy's whereabouts after this friend moved out of state.

After I moved back to Kansas, while Damian was still in Texas, I randomly looked on the Caring Hands Humane Society's website.  To my great surprise, there was Taddy.  She had just been there a couple of days.  Of course I immediately contacted Damian.  And the rest is history.  We rescued her once so we figured we could do it again.

Izzy's First Day of Preschool

She was so excited!  She insisted on taking her backpack complete with a hair brush, pencil and piece of paper.  She had a great morning at Bethel College Mennonite Church.  Since Ollie's kindergarten is in the afternoon, we had him to ourselves for 2 whole hours.  That was fun and he enjoyed it.  We made a special trip to the Et Cetera Shop.
