  Cinnamon!

  

  As you know, I am a proud owner of a dachshund dog now! Ruslan wanted to call her Bobo. Claudia liked Cutie. I felt it is a harvest gift from God since it is the season of autumn. I thought since that sausage dog is really as brown as cinnamon. Cinnamon has a big role in autumn spices. Markets are selling cinnamon apple candles during Fall time. PLUS- That dog can be misunderstand as a cinnamon stick, ROFL!

  So, they just fell in love with the name Cinnamon!

  So, Cinnamon has been a blessing to our family! She definiely is a children-friendly dog. Even though she is a scared dog right now since everything's new to her-- new faces, new house, and new enviroment, but she found safety in the arms of my chidlren rather than adults!

  Cinnamon follows every step where kids go. Whenever Valerie goes outside swinging, Cinnamon is right next to her. That is SO fine with me. Ruslan and I got to give Cinnamon more time to be used with us. Claudia had fever last past two days, and Cinnamon was the only member in the house sitting with her all day. Cinnamon is really as sweet as cinnamon! =)

  Here is an article that is devoted to Cinnamon.

   A Dog's Purpose

   

  Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.

  I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.

  As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.

  The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker 's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.

  The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, 'I know why.'

  Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.
  He said, 'People are born so that they can learn how to live a good Life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?' The Six-year-old continued, 'Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.'
  Live simply.
  Love generously.
  Care deeply.
  Speak kindly.
  Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:
  When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
  Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.
  Take naps.
  Stretch before rising.
  Run, romp, and play daily.
  Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
  Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
  On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
  On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
  When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
  Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
  Be loyal.
  Never pretend to be something you're not.
  If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
  When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.

  ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!

   

  I forgot to include the most important thing-- how did I get Cinnamon for free?!?! Yes, there is a very NICE program named freecycle. You should apply there as it is FREE. Go to Yahoo and click GROUPS. Type FREECYCLE. Pick your city and JOIN there. This progam is devoted to "someone else's trash has became your treasure" that kind of thing, you know? They are giving away thier junkies. I got this large enterainment center for free before.

   

  Anyway, Barbie spotted that a lady named Cher is giving away Cinnamon from FREECYCLE and she texted me immidately. I replied to Cher that I d love to have that dog. Cher said she had to interview people and wanted to make sure that Cinnamon will be in a right home. I replied with a sweet explaintion how we love dogs. We have a house. FOur bedroom and Cinnamon ll have plenty space to play around. We also have a chichaua named Jax. But the other couple won because they were merely FIRST before me. I was second on the list. Cher GAVE Cinnamon to the couple. The couple took Cinnamon to Laplace. I lost the dog bid.

   

  A week later, the same lady Cher paged me to see if I would love to have Cinnamon. The couple said Cinnamon couldnt stop barking at men. I told Cher what Cinnamon needed is just a  little discipline. It is just a few days?! Cher was surprised that the couple couldnt handle Cinnamon and told me that the couple seemed very old to have that dog. The old folks probably needed a quiet old dog. I said SURE!!! I had to go to LAPLACE to that old folks' house to get Cinnamon. Kids and I droveeeee to her house and picked up Cinnamon.

   

  Thats how!
