Our newest family member

The newest member of our family joined us Wednesday night, thanks to our friend Julieanne.

Louie is a GORGEOUS purebred male boxer. He is a brindle, big, boufy, dumb! He is about a year old.

We are absolutely in love with him! Poor little guy has had a lot of changes in the last week and is terrified to be alone. He actually DESTROYED his crate trying to get out he was so afraid of being left! So for now we will have to "attachment parent" him......eventually he will gain that independent spirit that all attachment children seem to be infused with.....at least I hope he does!

We had to keep the Greyhounds with us a lot for the first few weeks, too...canine attachement parenting :-). We can't wait to meet him! We even found a Boxer book for you at one of our shops...congrats!!

Maybe we can get together at a dog park and let all furbabies play and catch up on news.

Being a new furbaby mommy, I don't even know where the dog parks are! We have been taking him to the local park and letting him run on the tennis courts (a trick your girls taught my girls). We are having him neutered tomorrow (Thurs) so will will have to wait until he is feeling up to playing, probably a couple of weeks (they said 10 days to get the stitches out).
