Rodeo Results and mounds of paperwork

Hello Sports Fans, Some of you might have tuned in earlier this week to the blog that talked about taking our dog to the vet. Well, in the end Dennis and I managed to stay on the 8 seconds and have come up with the victory: immunized pets.

In all seriousness, Rambo did quite well. Once he was in the car he was quite the gentleman. Previous attempts to put him in the car had resulted in Dennis being scratched and bitten (that is why the muzzle was great). At the vet's office, he was not totally interested in them examining him, but once a fox tail was discovered in his ear and he got some drugs, he was chill.

Poor Todd the cat watched on from the cat carrier not really sure what all the fuss was about.  Oh, what we do for our animals and for our adopted daughters.

We are just about done with the first set of paperwork that needs to be done for our adoption. We are waiting for our FBI and Oregon criminal checks to come back stating that we are not felons or criminals in hiding. It is unbelievable the amount of paperwork. Everyone thinks there would be a lot, but when I start to describe in that is involved, most are amazed. I do understand it, but wow, adopting is not for the faint of heart. I guess they make sure the process is crazy enough, that only people who really want to adopt can endure to the end.

We pray each night for our little one and ask God to protect and provide. This phase is a bit like carrying a biological child to term, although the gestation maybe a bit longer with this. It is exciting and a bit stressful, but in the end we will be united with the newest member of our family. That definitely keeps us pressing on.
