Sunday, on the way to church, I told John it was time to get our family a dog. Amazingly, he didn't say no, which is always the answer I've gotten in the past. The only criteria I had for getting a dog was it had to come from a shelter. A minute later, we passed a "free puppy" sign in front of a house. After church, we passed the house again and I asked John if we could just look. He actually turned the car around! A free puppy turned out to be eight; dirt, flea, and tick covered puppies. One of the walking flea bags caught my attention with his beautiful blue eyes and spotted nose. He didn't come from a shelter, but we consider him a rescue dog all the same. After spending several hours of bathing, combing/picking fleas out of his hair, he was good as new.

We don't know what kind of dog he is. His mom is a medium size mutt and dad is possibly a large white dog, but it's not certain.
Did we get the dog for the kids? Yes, the kids wanted a dog, but they also want a snake, and that's NEVER happening! I'm the one who really wanted the dog : ) So as fun as the dog is for the kids, I'm the one who is in heaven!
We let the kids name him. John and I vetoed several of the kid's picks until we all agreed on Checkers. Checkers seemed like a mouth full, so we shortened it to just Chex.
Welcome to the family Chex!
