John's LOVE for Zayleigh...

Back in Sept/Oct when I went on my mission trip to Africa, John took care of Zayleigh.

Now because Zayleigh wasn't "necessarily" his favorite "fixture" in our home at the time, I was a little worried about leaving her with him for 14 days.

Friends, John has a 3rd degree black belt in Kenpo karate. He has had big dogs his whole life. For my husband to take care of this 7 lb - loud mouthed - barely potty trained - ball of fur was his ULITMATE gift of love to me!

This weekend I heard a funny story about Zayleigh when she was in her "daddy's" care.

Apparently, John was walking Zayleigh after work one day (still in a suit and tie) when this man with a HUGE dog comes running towards them. Of coarse, Zayleigh (in all of her gusto) starts barking like the bulldog she thinks she is - MUCH to John's dismay!

Subconsciously, John had already jumped into a bush and was trying to "pretend" this whole scenario wasn't happening!

Feeling the pressure of trying to get Zayleigh to shut up and realizing how ridiculous he must have looked fighting with this "7 lb BARKING FUR BALL"

my husband reacted like an individual with touretts syndrome...

He turned towards the runner and BLURTED OUT with the same gusto as the 7lb barking fur

THIS BOLD PROCLAIMATION:

"THIS IS MY WIFES DOG!!!!"

The guy just gave him a weird look and kept running.

That's right people, that's myyyyyy DAWWWWGGGG!

Zayleigh, YES!?! But I'm talkin' about John!

He is myyyyy Dawwwgggg!
