Puppy Love

Whew! It's been an exhausting week. After searching for a month we finally found a four-legged companion to add to our family. Unable to find a suitable older dog we have adopted a puppy. It's alike having a baby all over again. Fortunately he sleeps through the night and housebreaking seems to coming along nicely.

Blue is an Australian shepherd rescued from the city shelter down in Glen Rose. After picking him up he was so mellow and calm for the drive home. We thought Valium would be a bit strange but Blue works well.

It's been hard to snap photos of big Blue when he's not asleep. He doesn't stay in one place for too long and hasn't learned 'sit' yet. I've been taking the rambunctious little pup for two or three good walks each day and throwing toys down our long hallway in the morning while I drink my coffee. The weather has been so wonderful here that we've had a lot of time in the backyard too. By the end of the day poor Blue looks mighty tired.

In fact, he's sleeping right now. I had better go finish up my now overdue 'water' prints. But more about that in the next post....
