Update on our new addition to the family




Boomer has quickly become a loved addition to our family (although Smokie may diagree with that statement). Boomer has been to the vets and has a clear bill of health. He had his puppy vasectomy (we don't use the "N" word with Boomer) about 2 weeks after we got him and has healed well from that little procedure.


Smokie prefers to be far away from Boomer. That is because Boomer thinks Smokie is a chew toy. We put a baby gate up so Smokie has a choice as to if he hangs out with Boomer or not. He was here first, ya' know? Smokie has totally blamed me for this new addition to our family. It has now been about 3 1/2 weeks and Smokie is now letting me pet him again- talk about CATTITUDE. He is not a very forgiving kitty!

Junior has been more forgiving though and usually plays with Boomer. When Boomer first got her Junior made sure that it was clear who the boss was. Why wasn't my name on that list anyway? Whenever Junior is tired of playing with Boomer he lays down just outside of his reach. Smart dog! I think Junior actually enjoys when Boomer is outside with him though. They have fun playing together.

  1. He is a cute dog! Lindy makes sure that Lucy knows who's in charge too. Even though there is a huge size difference between the 2 of them, Lucy still tries to be in charge. So Lindy takes care of that quite quickly. Glad the boys are getting along together! (with the exception of Smokie, that is.)

  2. He is a CUTE dog, Tam!

    I think the family cats secretly like the family dogs, they just try to be cool with their attitude.

  3. Aw, Junior has a friend that's not Uncle Nick or Aunt Tam!
