New Baby

Hard to believe he's four months old and even harder to believe he's been with us ten weeks!  He makes me laugh on a daily basis.  I really didn't want a new pup but sitting here one Friday  night I had a flash forward of Reb gone and in college and me all alone.  We had friends who recently had puppies, six of them, and they were trying to give them away.  After I said to Reb that I wondered if Ms. Barker had any puppies left I sort of hoped she wouldn't.  He was the last one and someone had expressed interest in him but the five pictures she'd tried to send wouldn't and so he was still unclaimed.  Dumb me... so now he's here... a fixture in my home.  He's scary smart though - he can sit, go down, give you paw and even do a barrel roll.  He was a breeze to house train and now sleep on the bed with me (Reb started that one).  On the 5th he weighed 26 lbs.  He's hit another growth spurt so there is no telling how much he weighs. I'd guess he's pushing 30 if not more.  He's just recently figured out how to climb on the couch and chair.  The vet thinks he's gonna be a biiiiig boy!  He's  a sweetie :-)
