Introducing Laddie

We spent the summer trying to find another dog.  We searched shelters, rescues, classifieds and nothing ever worked out.  Thanks to our neighbors, it seems we have found a great dog!

Here he is at a mere one day old.

 Boyd was all about getting a puppy when it was little and just wanted to sleep in his lap.  He is about 5 weeks old in these photos.

 The neighbor girls brought the puppy with them when they came for their tutoring.

 So cute, so calm, so easy to imagine he would stay that way.

 Here he is at about 6 weeks old.

 Still cute, but a bit more energetic.

 Here are his sisters.

 And at almost 8 weeks old when we took him home.

 A very blurry picture proving to us that we would need to barricade the opening under the gate to the dog pen.

And, hanging out while I work. 

 Checking out the new toys.

 He LOVES Jasmine.

 He quickly decided to be master of the goats.

 Tug-o-war seems to be the game of choice.
