9:40 Claire waited 8 years for this dog, but at this moment she controlled all her excitement in pure consideration not to overwhelm the puppy, she's really too kind and emotionally considerate beyond words!!

[@karasly9969]

So true! And then she made sure June was getting to pet the puppy when everyone else was. Claire is so giving and loving ❤

[@bluejay6184]

My tears began when Claire began teaching her siblings how to let the dog have her space to sniff and get acclimated to the house and let her come to them so she wouldn’t be overwhelmed. Her heart and soul reflects the love and compassion of our Lord. Bless little River and the happiness she brings to your home. Bless the Crosbys, each and every one 🙏🏻🌈☀️💝

[@melindamorrison4010]

​@karasly9969 Their lovely upbringing shows so beautifully!!

It was so sweet to see Claire just being a regular kid. So happy for her and your family.

Love this family. Claire is so mature for her age, June is comical, Carson is a fine young boy and Millie is catching up.

Dave & Ashley, what a wonderful gift you have given your family, in particular Claire. Because of you, Claire has learned about patience, discipline, trust and love. You committed to getting her a puppy when she was 10 because you thought it was best for your family to wait...and then you delivered on your promise. How proud you must be of how Claire encouraged all the kids to put the puppy's needs (when she first came home) above their own despite their excitement. Claire has always been a beautiful soul and she continues to shine brightly as she gets older. So much of this video moved me to tears, but nothing compared to Millie's "she's dead". I suspect that clip will be shown at her wedding one day lol. Claire, Carson, June & Millie, I hope you have THE BEST TIME with River. She is one lucky dog.

[@Nightfighter82]

So many life lessons in this one video. That’s how you raise well adjust kind, thoughtful, secure, bright, and amazing kids into adults that are grounded but also know they can do anyrhing.

[@berenicereyesg.7895]

I agree with everything you said. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Mexico. Blessings always...

[@sassi7966]

I laughed so much when millie said that 🤭❤

I must compliment the children about greeting the puppy so calmly!!! That must be very hard when you’ve waited so long and you are so excited!!! Well done everybody!! This puppy will have a great life with lots of love ❤️

[@claraosmond431]

The fact that Claire's instinct was to hug you and say THANK YOU when finding out you guys put a deposit on the dog... that is just so precious and it has been awesome to watch her grow through the years. ❤

The best clip of all the other special ones.

[@georgiaemb]

Claire shows so much maturity beyond her age. The footage of her 10th Birthday and her looking right towards the camera from that I can tell she's going to have a bright future ahead of her. Carsons reaction to the puppy news is like when you're in heaven surrounded by so many puppies. Oh my god ❤. Wait till she starts chewing shoes and everything. I loved the footage at the end, like you would see in a TV AD. I want a puppy now.

I was 10 when my family finally decided to grant me my wish that I held close to my heart for years - And that was my wish of getting a Golden Retriever puppy. I even saved some of my money from birthdays/Christmases to help buy things for her. That dog was the most incredible Christmas present I ever received. ❤️ she was in our lives for 14 years. I went through the rest of Primary school with her, the whole of high school, university and my first year of working. She sat with me while I studied and worked and just knew when I was sad or stressed ❤ She passed away in 2019 but will always be my "sister" ❤.

[@erincline4774]

❤ My husband and I put our first (brothers from the same litter) dog down November 1, 2019 as well. This was 13 years to the day that we brought them home. Then we put his brother down 2 years ago as of March 13, 2023...the day before he would have been 14.5 years old. This video was so sweet and precious watching the kids and Claire explaining to her younger siblings on how to act when the puppy comes in from the long trip. She is so mature for her age.

🥰🥰I love how claire is smart and was telling the younger kids to be calm and not crowd the puppy that is exactly how to greet a new pet because they are scared at first . I love how all the kids stood very quite and calm and didn't rush over in the dogs face or scream loud in it's face they let him come to them and that is exactly how it should be done you let them explore and come to you instead of overcrowding them or being loud in their faces like how a lot of kids do . Your kids are very smart & well behaved ❤️ ❤ excellent parenting 💯

You're family are the perfect example of excellent with knowledge and handling of especially a newcomer dog into the household, its exactly what you should do to help a puppy settle into their new home. I love how Claire is so switched on with how to let puppy get to know you at her (dog's) own pace. River certainly has the very best home she could be in, thats for sure. So glad you got her, 8 years of waiting has finally paid off. Now family is complete with your furbaby, and have many years of wonderful memories and fun with your new puppy River, she is super gorgeous and sweet.
