Rosie!

After a couple of weeks of having Sam, we found little Rosie.  She is a 15 week old Cockapoo that we got from a woman in Albert Lea.  We packed up the boys and drove all the way there to meet her in the hopes of bringing her home.  She is very sweet and fluffy!  She has the puppy energy that is good for the boys and also for Sam.  Because Sam came from a puppy mill, he never got to be a puppy, to be loved, held or played with.  We thought it would be good for him to see how other dogs act that have not been kept in a cage their whole lives.  And even though Sammy is very cuddly and sweet, he isn't a ton of fun for the boys since he doesn't know how to play.  So now we have a nice balance - fluffy and fun and cute and mellow.  So far it is going really well!

Saying hello
She is so fluffy!
Can already tell she is going to be Chris' little girl

Meeting Sam when beautifully!

Sammy!

We went to Urban Animal in Uptown to meet a little dog named Sam.  His foster mom was bring him there for an adoption event they were having.  Good thing we already had submitted and adoption application and spoken to the rescue people...there were tons of people all there, scoping out Sam!  He is a Havanese, rescued from a puppy mill.  He looks a bit ragged, but is as sweet as can be.  We were surprised to hear the phone ring when we got home and the rescue owner had Sam with her and wanted to come over and do the home inspection.  We figured it would be days before we knew anything, but a few hours after meeting him, he was running around our yard, in his new home!  

Meeting Chris

Snuggled up

Checking out his new yard

Probably wondering what is going on!

Chillin' out and sticking his tongue out at us

I couldn't wait to give him a bath!  He did so good!

He even did well with the blow dryer and constant fluffing 

Showing off one of his few teeth

One of the only dogs I have ever known to actually sleep in a dog bed bought for him

And he sleeps in it a lot!

Coloring eggs

Helping me mix up the colors

Chris takes egg coloring very seriously

Nate getting ready to bang the egg on the table over and over...

Xander found the time the eggs had to sit in the dye very boring

Cute as a bunny!

All that jumping will wear a guy out

Sunny smile!
