A New Friend

I have been begging Andrew for months and months to please get another dog! I finally won! :) No, in all seriousness, we've been talking about it for a while. Baxter gets a little lonely and we figured he would enjoy having someone like him to play with and teach naughty things to. So far so good! It was adventure finding Tobey's home last night (it took us 2 1/2 hours to get there) and when we finally did, it looked like something from the movie "Deliverance." Fortunately things are not always as they seem, although Andrew had his weapon ready, and the family that was raising these puppies were very kind and friendly. When they brought the two males out, we fell in love with Tobey on the spot! He was the larger of the two but more reserved and shy. He came right over to us, starting giving us kisses and we were hooked! There was no possible way we were leaving that house without him. The breeder told us that every time someone came over to see the puppies, he would always hide in the corner or go do his own thing, but was amazed when he just made himself comfy in our arms. It was just meant to be I guess! Anyways, we love him TONS already and Baxter is...well, Baxter is getting used to him. He's doing really well sharing his food, his toys and his people with Tobey. They wrestled this morning for like 15 minutes, afterwards they both crashed for a good hour nap. So they are becoming fast friends, but I just think Baxter wonders if Tobey is staying for good. :) Tobey is nine weeks old, is solid black (except for one little patch of white right under his chin) and is sweet as can be. Very mellow and good tempered. He lets Baxter be the dominant one and seems to like to eat the grass. There will be more pictures coming I'm sure!
