Pray for Me

      I have had quite a few things thrown on me.  Pray for me.  That I will follow the Holy Spirit's leading.  Being put last and being married to someone who is self centered is harder than anyone can imagine if you are not married to someone like that.

Orry

     We had been looking to get a great dane for a pet.  Why, now I do not know.  The urge just hit us and stayed for a while.  We ended up adopting this 15 month old female.  The previous owners did not train her at all, which we did not know that when we adopted her.  I am finding it particularly difficult to train the dog during my day to day life.  And I did not want a dog I had to completely train, either.  I have kids and do a lot around here and do not have the time or patience for that.
      The dog's main issue is her suddenly getting hyper and running over my youngest child and jumping up on and biting my oldest child and me.  If you move to pop her or get her down she will bite that limb, too.  So you are stuck with a huge dog trying to use you as a chew toy.  It has scared me sometimes, to be honest.  She can be very sweet and loving.  But then wham...out of the blue, she is spastic and goes crazy.  She is also very shy around a lot of things, like she has never been socialized at all.  Not sure what we are going to do about her.
      I do not feel comfortable being alone, without my husband with us, in the back yard with her.  Everytime I am she ends up going nuts on me and/or my kids. I just can't have that...I am the stay at home mom, here all day.  She is pretty...but that is not enough to keep a dog for.
