Meet Anna, our new grand puppy.

8 weeks old. Supposedly lab, beagle, and shepherd mix. Has puppy breath and needles for teeth.

that's great....one you can spoil and send home! :D

Oh man.... Just went thru that. If you're on blood thinners, your hands and arms will never recover. Those aren't needles, they're shards of glass. I do miss the puppy breath, though.

Puppies are my one true weakness. I am a suckered for pooches. What a cutie!

We spent some time with the Demon of Darkness yesterday. What a hoot. We think she has made Owen HER pet. There's a battle between the two on who is going to be the Alpha Runt. The pup may be winning.

Apparently, the Demon of Darkness was scared of ants walking across the patio yesterday.

The Demon of Darkness is getting a cousin. Though I have no pics, Buster, a mutt, is moving in with Mrs. C and I this weekend. He is, unfortunately, a cast off from a nasty divorce of one of my son in laws coworkers. The wife didn’t want him and the husband can’t take him with where he’s going. So, we are taking him in.

I kind of wanted to wait until after I retired to get another dog, but…

So far, no pooch and no communication with the owner(s). Starting to feel like another repeat of the Fiat124 fiasco.

Well, Buster is here.

He's a bit stressed at the moment but Mrs. C and I have been slobbered on quite a bit.

Looks like a lot of fun to come .

Buster has started to relax.

We couldn't get him to even look at that bed his first night here, now he spends his work day in it. Haven't heard him bark yet, but he did let out a growl when I walked into the house after coming in from running an errand. I got the knee breaking tail wag a second later, so he is taking on the roll of protector of Moms' house.

He stays off the furniture, which is not a rule in our house. He won't go into the kitchen, which will be a problem because the back door to where his run will be is accessed through the kitchen.

I've found that I will be walking more just taking him outside for his multiple daily pee breaks. We will need to spend some time on his leash manners. He hasn't popped my shoulder out of joint, yet, but at 60+ pounds, the possibility is there. So far, though, things are falling into place.

Cheesy your a good guy. Thanks nice looking dog ,best of luck.

I’ve been traveling this week (whodaguessedit). Reports from the home front are that Buster is spending a lot of time lying down by the front door, waiting for me to come home.

Those who are old enough, know what I mean when I say I got 'Dinoed' when I walked in the door last night.

You ran on a treadmill that measured your horsepower? :tup:
Bam Bam!
