Every Child Needs a Dog

My biggest complaint with coming to Belgium is still probably that I had to give away Ox, my weimereiner.  Every little boy should grow up playing with a dog.  This past weekend, we kept Charlie for some friends.  Claire thought he was great.  Charlie handled her much better than Isaac.  He would get excited and jump up and down as he moved toward Charlie.  The dog backed away, unsure what to think of Isaac.  I have nothing worth putting online, but I did think this picture was pretty good.

Getting Isaac (or me) a dog will be the first priority when we do eventually get moved back to the States...maybe before we find a house.

This week, I have thought a good bit about a comment I heard a few weeks ago.  A senior chaplain made a comment about the chaplain corp "eating it's own."  Just watching how chaplains and chaplain assistants function, I think the statement is more and more accurate.

You know the dog will be for you, but I think you just might let Isaac and Claire play with it!
