Yes, as in, the pup to the right is the newest addition to our apartment. His name is Denali (which is the Inuit name for the tallest peak in North America) and he's an 8-week old Siberian Husky.
This pup was quite a surprise and yet an answer to prayers! As some of you might have known, I'd been thinking of getting a dog. But part of that involved moving to a place that would allow me to have a dog and an area big enough for him to play outside.
Needless to say, I got word from a friend that he was in need of a home. He was living with a family with kids, but was quite a handful on top of raising kids! But the timing seemed all off - I hadn't even gotten to talk my landlord. After lots of praying, I got another message asking me to give the parents' a call and talk about the potential of "adopting" this little guy. I called the parents' and, after speaking with them about him, decided he was the dog I'd been hoping for. After a stressful day of waiting to hear from my landlady, I got the approval to have him stay with me until the end of my lease in the summer. Which was such an unexpected gift!
We (my roommates and I) welcomed Denali home last night into our apartment. He's still a pup, that's for sure! But he already has some basic commands down and is smarter than your average pup. He'll need lots of love and lots of runs as he grows, but I think he's going to be quite the gentleman as he gets older.
Thanks for all your prayers about him - hopefully you'll get to meet him someday!
