Well, my husband called me today and asked me what I thought about getting a dog. He told me that he read in the paper that a family in our county wanted to give away a redbone hound (coon dog) that they had found abandoned and had nursed back to health. Initially, I was extremely excited! I love dogs and have always had at least one or two dogs throughout my entire life. However, my husband, Miles, and I have not yet gotten a dog, simply because we are both busy and do not know exactly what kind we wanted. We knew we wanted to “rescue” a dog. Whether it be from a pound or from a person who could not keep the dog, we knew we wanted it to be a matter in which we were helping out a dog and the previous owner. My favorite types of dogs are daschunds, German shepards, hound dogs, and labs. We also agreed that we really like “muts” because my parents have one currently and it is just a mix of sweetness and goodness! 
So, we knew to be on the look out for dogs like this. Also, I told Miles the other day that I wanted our first dog to be a girl named Sadie. Well, get this. He went to pick up the dog today, and the man giving her away said that they had already named her Sadie but we could change it if we wanted to. Miles told me this and I was like, “No way are we changing it! It is like this was meant to be!” So, now we have a precious, ten month old redbone hound dog. She has a lot of puppy left in her and is very active! I love her to death already! Here is a pic of my sweet girl…
