This is the first in a few installments of our sweet dog Herschel as he grew up and then joined our family at six weeks. My new close friend, Kimberly's male, Bailey is the daddy and her brother's dog, Mandy is the mom. I know most everyone who knows me can't believe we actually got a dog. We really prayed for "God's Dog" for us. That it wouldn't be one that we orchestrated for ourselves but that God would make it clear it was from Him. There are many stories in the confirmation process but the name confirmation blows us away. This dog had been choosen by some sweet friends of Kimberly's when he was first born. They loved him everyday and were going to take him home with them. They later named him Herschel for UGA football player Hershel Walker. Most of us Texans know him as a Dallas Cowboy. Anyway, Later the friends changed their mind about the puppy because they are starting a catering business and didn't feel they had proper time to raise him. My Grandfather has several brothers all with "H" names and one of my favorite was "Uncle Herschel" The name meant so much to me. We were thrilled that in the end,Herschel was left, and ours!!! He is wonderful!!!!!
