​Hi everyone I’m Taku the English lab and I come from a long line of pure bred dogs.  I am proud of my heritage and I just love people. And, I’m Arnie the hound and I am very different from Taku, Andy adopted me from a shelter and I am so glad he did.  My life before adoption by Andy was pretty rough.  We are members of the St. Matthew by the Lake Pet family and as you guessed it, we live with Andy.  Although we look very different and come from very different backgrounds we are still family.  You know it is great to be a member of a family and family is not all about blood lines.  When we came to live with Andy he treated us both as part of his family, it didn’t matter if one of us came from great breeding stock and one of us came from a shelter.  We are both loved.  God’s love is like that too.  God does not look at our outward appearance or our family tree.  God looks at our heart and we are all part of God’s family and God’s creation.  Now that is great news that is worth barking and howling about, even in the middle of this pandemic. Stay safe, and remember God loves us all with unconditional love and we are all part of God’s family.
