Right from the start I knew you’d hold our hearts,
You were so small and so sweet yet you knew it complete that pink was not for you...it was blue that was more your type of hue
Watching you grow into such a bright little girl, you took everyone soaring right out of this world
Your creativity spun such glorious places all within view in front of our faces
You stood your ground at such a young age telling them teachers that you control the page
You pushed and forged ahead thinking and knowing that that someday you would dread
In your courage you had found the grace of angel shining down
Fighting to make sense to those yet not knowing it wouldn’t matter to me your hearts still golden
You’ve always been talented, you’ve always been smart but the one thing you should know is how much you taught
Taught us to be open, taught us to be brave, taught us everything will be okay
But you should know, what we already knew that from the day you were born, we really love you.

Bringing Dewey Home
My husband was getting ready to leave for an internship in just under a month, so the two of us were talking more and more seriously about getting a dog. We had both been talking about it for months, discussing the pros and cons, what types of breeds we wanted, the size of the dog, and how we would train it. I've had dogs my whole life, but this would be my husband's first pet aside from a betta fish when he was a young child. As often happens with decisions like this, our idea of an ideal dog was nothing like what we ended up with. We thought that a smaller dog, like a schnauzer, pug, or a poodle mix of some kind would be ideal in our apartment. I have pretty bad joint problem and osteoarthritis, so we thought having a dog would help me to exercise more regularly, which would improve my mobility and flexibility. Because of how easily I can get hurt, we figured a small dog might be safer for me to walk.
