For an indefinite amount of time (until Bauer's wonderful owners come home with their new baby) we will be caring for him...
I giggled when all of this came to be and realized, 'oh my goodness! I got a dog for Christmas this year...' God has heard Benjamin's and my prayers - He leaps for joy at the idea of blessing us - just not exactly the way we had planned.
Bauer is a well-behaved and energetic border collie -- the next week or two will be full of days at the park throwing the ball... lounging around with a dog at our feet in front of the fire... and opening presents Christmas morning with a dog sniffing at all the wrapping.
I AM SO EXCITED!!
