Helen and Rebecca

We got a dog! Helen has been passionately wishing for a dog for so long, when Rebecca came in and Dad said that she was ours, Helen cried. We're not talking a little moisture in the eyes as she jumped around and danced. Oh no, she just turned her face away, gave us a "thumbs-up" and CRIED for a good 5 minutes. Very moving. Rebecca is a 3 year old Irish setter. Her old owner goes to school with my dad and needed to find someplace for Rebecca to live after moving here. He'll be moving back to Chicago next summer, so if we decide that we don't want to keep her, he can take her back after that... but I think we'll want to keep her.
