Picture Tag!

 I got tagged by my friend Keri to post the fourth picture in my fourth picture file. This is my moms dog Hershey. Hershey got added to the family a few years back while I was living in New Jersey. The story of how my mom got Hershey is actually very weird, gross, a little funny, and sad. So my mom is a nurse and she was working in a nursing home and one of her elderly patients (who had dementia) had a twin sister she had always been close to who lived by herself somewhere in Salt Lake. One day while my mom was at work her elderly patient started to get very upset yelling that her arm hurt and she was worried about her sister. Then she started yelling that her sister was dead she just knew it! Anyway, I guess this went on for a while. so finally my mom decided to call this woman's son. The son came to see his mother and promised to go check on her sister his aunt. When he went to check on her sure enough he found the woman was indeed dead. She had I guess died a day or two before that while she was sitting at her kitchen table eating her morning cereal and her poor little dog hershey had been there with her the whole time. The family didn't know what to do with the dog and were just going to give it to the pound but my mom fell in love with her and offered to take her. Hershey is such a funny dog. She will follow my mom around the house all day and when my dad gets home from work she gets all sad if he does not greet her first. She makes a great addition to the family!

 Sorry about the long story with the tag. I just think it's a funny story! My mom tells it a lot better though. Anyway, I tag: Bridget, Kristin, Amanda A., and Marissa
