New addition to our family!!

So for a long time now Eric and I have wanted a Boxer. He told me if he got this job with the Department of Defense in Dayton then he would buy me the dog. So he got the job and I got the dog. When really he was the one who couldnt stand to be without the dog. I tried to talk him into waiting til after the wedding so we wouldnt have to find a place for it when we came home that weekend. At first he said ok yeah your right. Well he later changed his mind. So now we have our little 6 week old Boxer, Rusty!! He is the cutest little thing! We found him in Harned, Ky. It really close to Rough River. Eric was so excited to pick up "my" dog is couldnt stand it. He even asked if he could sleep with us. I told him I have enough people in my bed at night we dont need to add a dog to that either. Rusty did really good on his ride home. Didnt even pee in the car. When we got home to did pretty good too. He was very scared. He had never been away from his mommy. Eric said to me well I guess we got the laid back puppy. I told him to wait a week ago then we will really see. His house training is coming along very well. He has only went potty in the house 2 times. I think thats pretty good. When he wakes us from and nap and needs to go to starts walking towards the door. His first night at home he cried all night. Not fun. The 2nd night he cried a few times and one time was because he needed to go out. So hopefully each night gets better. He is now getting use to him new home and is trying to play and run around. Its so cute.

This is Rusty's first night home. He got shots earlier in the day. So he slept most the time.


We bought him puppy pads. He just uses them to sleep on. He doesnt like to lay on the hard wood floor. We think its prolly cold to him since he was use to be outside.


Madelyn and Payton just love him. Madelyn doesnt know what to think when he gets playful and wants to run at her. I think its funny.

I thought this picture was too cute. He tries to play with Payton and she will play for a little bit but when she is done she will grab his face and then he goes and lays down behind her.

And the playing began this morning! He is getting used to his home. Now we are going to have to try to keep the girls toys pick up!

Another one of Payton's toys. He loves this little thing so I just let him keep it!!!


He is going to be one spoiled little dog!! We are so glad and excited we got him!!!
