The Foehrkolb family added a new member this week. We adopted a puppy from the rescue organization The Sanctuary at Haafsville. We have always had cats, but never a dog, so this is a new experience for all of us. The puppy is only nine weeks old and adorable. Potty training is a challenge, but she is slowing grasping the concept.

If any of you are interested in or just thinking about adopting a pet, I encourage you to "Like" The Sanctuary at Haafsville on Facebook. That is how we got started. I would see the pictures posted of the animals needing a home and fell in love with our little Riley. Some of the animals they have, including mine, are animals rescued from a kill shelter. If you are not on Facebook, you can visit the website at www.thesantuarypa.org.

This quote is especially dear to me this week. "The objective is not so much to walk your dog, as it is to empty him." Dave Barry
