Joshua and I a really wanted to get the kids a dog for Christmas. We started doing research and looking a little early because we did not want the decision to be rushed. We ended up adopting Jinjer. Really it happened sooner than we originally were planning...but we know that she is the perfect dog for our family. We adopted her in from a family with 3 kids, the husband was in the marines and was being shipped out. Jinjer was 8 months old when we adopted her. She is a chocolate lab/weimaraner mix. She spent some time with our friend Trevor, who knows how to train dogs well.
We ended up getting her way before Christmas...but it all worked out and we have really been enjoying her these lase few months. She is great with the kids. She really enjoys hiking with us, and being out doors! She brings me back to my child hood. I have many great memories with Winnie and Nike. Our prayer is that Jinjer is part of our family for a very long time. We hope that our children also are able to build memories with her. Below are pictures of when the kids met her for the first time! They had no idea we were getting a dog, it was a surprise.
