It's been a long weekend and it's almost to an end. I wanted to show everyone our new boxer puppy Baxter. We picked him up right after we closed the shop on Saturday. We had to stay open late Saturday because we were so busy. I was biting at the bit to get going, but work comes first.

We finely got to pick Baxter up about 5:00. Baxter was so happy to see us when we arrived. We got kisses everywhere and he couldn't wait to run with Otis. Carol, the lady we got Baxter from made a baby book for each of the puppies. What a wonderful idea and so cute.

We arrived home and brought Baxter and Otis in the house. Everything went good. We then went out in the back yard to play and meet the neighbors. Let me tell you. Otis, even though Otis is a male, he is making one heck of a mother. He really watches over his little Baxter. If the neighbor dogs come up to the fence, Otis is right there to tell them to back off, Baxter is his!!

Later that night Phil and I went out to Karaoke. We put Baxter in his nut hut and told Otis he was to babysit. I think things went great. When we got home later, Otis met us at the door full of kisses. After he greeted us he rushed into the room where Baxter was sleeping in his nut hut. Otis wanted us to get him out of that cage. We then took the two outside to go potty and run a little bit. We then moved Baxter's nut hut up to our bedroom for the night. After we put Baxter in it and Otis was in bed, Baxter started to whine for just a little bit. Then he let out with a few small howls. I was laying in bed giggling, I just couldn't help myself. It was just so cute. Soon after that everyone fell asleep.

Baxter slept all night. He woke us up in the morning when he needed to go outside to potty. Soon after that my son Nick stopped over with  his new boxer puppy Arty (Baxter's brother). Baxter and Arty were so happy to see each other. It will be nice to be able to get them together for play dates. After Nick and Arty left, Baxter and Otis were beat. They both laid down for a good nap. We played outside on and off today and Baxter doesn't leave Otis's side. They are so cute together. I think Otis likes his new puppy. He sure watches over him. Hope you will all enjoy the pictures posted of our new puppy and Otis. 

This was Otis on his 8th birthday, July 22, 2008. He was all dressed up. We had a huge sheet cake for his birthday at the shop. The customers just loved it. Otis did too.

Hope you all enjoyed our new pictures of Otis, Baxter and Arty.

Oh, and I wanted to let everyone know that we did not have to take the trip up north. I was so happy about that.
