I often think that God gives me object lessons in my life to teach me important things. Lately, He has a placed a very big object into my life. We recently acquired a dog. Her name is Lulu. Lulu is half Burnese Mountain dog and half Aussie Shepherd. Both of these types of dogs are work dogs, very smart and trainable. Our Lulu is seven months old and has been staked in the yard or in a kennel most of her life. Her owner loved her, but knew that she was not able to properly take care of her.
