Puppy Love

Well, here's the newest addition to our home... Josie. Ain't she cute? And believe me when I say it's a good thing to, cause she didn't sleep through the night the first couple of days and wanted to play at 3 am. She is a 6 week old boxer (we are definitely boxer folk around here) and to say that the kids are smitten with her would be an understatement... obsessed is more like it. I don't remember my kids acting this way when we brought Tucker home. Of course Tucker never was this small. His breeder said he was a "big baby" when he was born . Funny cause that's what we say about Jackson and Tucker and Jack have a special bond...commradery really. But seriously...these kids are about to drive me nuts with this new puppy. The poor thing never gets to take a nap, cause some sticky-faced kids always man-handling it. They pack her around and take naps with her and FIGHT over her...it's very irritating. It's so bad, I've had to instititute special rules. Like : Let Sleeping Dogs Lie. Lillie's interest in Josie is to nurture her "Mother Hen" complex...
I wish I had a picture of Lillie standing out in the yard with her PJ's and High Heels on taking teh dog out to potty...priceless. Jackson is just happy to have someone who'll play with him without bossing him or making him do "girly" things...

Josie is incredibly good at playing "Tree the Preschooler"...See, what did I tell you... And before you think Jack's all action and no love...this picture shows his softer side... Chloe really likes to cuddle with Josie...
Pet Josie....
But Josie prefers to chase Chloe around and sometimes Chloe doesn't like it...
Have a blessed day!

  1. Della, I can't tell who's cutest, the kids obsession or the puppy. ;) It's been awhile since we've had a dog and I'm not sure I want to go through all that raising again...hmmmm...maybe just some chickens? At least we'll get eggs that way! :D
