Bark at the park

Last month we took the dogs to their first baseball game.  One of the perks of working for the city is that all full time staff get two tickets to the minor league baseball team.  It so just happens that the tickets I forgot for this year fell on Bark at the Park.  I've always wanted to take the dogs but there is normally a home Razorback baseball game going on at the same time.  Thankfully it was an away series so we were able to take the pups.

They had a really good time and we made it to the top of the 4th inning before we decided to leave.  Newton wanted to attack one of the bigger dogs that was on our row.  Other than that they loved it.  Newton loved being able to watch the baseball game and all of the people.  Baxter just liked being out with Chris.  We'll definitely have to take them again next year.

Doggie update

I can't believe that Morgan has been gone for a month now.  I've finally gotten use to it being so quiet in the house.  It's strange though when there is a thunderstorm I keep waiting for him to come headbutt me. I think that Newton and Baxter have finally started to adjust to him being gone.  Newton hasn't looked him for awhile and Baxter adjusted pretty quickly.  He loves getting all of Chris's attention now. Now that Newton doesn't have a playmate he has gained some weight.  He keeps trying to play with Baxter but Baxter will not play with him.  Hopefully they settle their differences soon.

This is how I found Newton the day after Morgan passed away.  He was sniffing Morgan's pillows looking all over for him.

Baxter had a scheduled hair appointment the next day and he wasn't happy to go to the groomers without his buddy.

Chris had this magnet painted for me so that I can always remember Morgan.   I think it looks just like him. I sure do miss my Morgie.

Squishfaceddogs

You guys all know my love for the website http://squishfacedogs.com/.  Well a few weeks ago I decided to submit some photos of our own squished faced dog Newton.  When I checked their blog tonight Newton's photos made it onto their website.  You'll have to go check them out because Newton is famous for the night! ;)

Summer haircuts

We have been having record breaking heat in our area and it doesn't seem it is going to end anytime soon.  It's starting to feel and look like we live in Texas.  We haven't had much rain in the last two months either so everything is brown and dead here.  So we decided to take the dogs in for their summer haircuts to help them stay cool.  Newton didn't get a haircut because he already has short hair but he did get his nails trimmed.  They all seem to be much cooler now with their new summer do's.

Baxter loves his summer haircut but he looks naked without hair.

Morgan HATES his haircut!

Newton is just sleepy.

Here is a photo with Morgan watching television.  His addiction to television seems to be getting worse.  His favorite channels to watch are Animal Planet and the History channel.  If we have guests over all I have to do is put Morgan in our bedroom and turn the tv on and he is entertained for hours!

Morgan and the 3 beds

Newton has been with us for two weeks now and the dogs have finally adjusted to him.  I won't say that they get along completely yet because they still get into the occasional fight over toys and food.  I think that the biggest adjustment has been for Morgan because he doesn't stink up for himself.  We bought Morgan a new pillow for the living room but it seems like every time he looks up someone is sleeping in his bed!  We have several pillows in the house for the dogs to sleep on ranging from big to small.  It seems like Morgan never gets the big bed!

Morgan left to watch tv and Baxter took his new pillow!

Newton stole Morgan's bed in the bedroom.

Morgan sleeping in Baxter's baby bed!

After Morgan tried sleeping in Baxter's baby bed we had to go get a new pillow for the smaller dogs to sleep on.  Hopefully now Morgan will have the big pillow to sleep on all to himself!  Baxter is starting to really like Newton because Newton likes to play with toys.  They play tug of war all day and it's just so cute to see!  It's nice to have someone else play with Baxter for a change because he would love with his toys all day long!!

All you need is love

Last Monday was Valentine's day and I'm sorry that this post is a little late but we've had some exciting things that have happened in the last week.  It all started the Wednesday of the snow storm.  We were locked in the house and weren't able to leave.  So in my boredom I logged onto the Petfinder application on my iPhone.  I've been wanting another dog for a while now and Chris just ignores it when I bring it up. Well there happened to be a Boston Terrier named Newton at the local animal shelter up for adoption.  I've always wanted one and since Baxter is part Boston I just had to have him.  So when the roads started to thaw I called the animal shelter and asked about Newton.  The lady that I spoke with on the phone said that he had been adopted.  I was crushed because I really wanted him.  Well that Saturday I noticed that he was still up for adoption so I sent them an email.  I had totally forgotten about him until Monday afternoon when I received a phone call saying that he was still able for adoption.  So I went down and met him and it was love at first sight.  I had to go to work so I couldn't do anything about him.  Chris was nice enough to bring Baxter down to meet him.  Chris adopted little Newton into our home and that plus some beautiful flowers was my Valentine's Day present.

It's been an adjustment having three dogs but then in a way it hasn't been that bad.  Newton is a sweet natured dog who gets along with everyone.  Morgan has pretty much adapted to him but Baxter still not sure about him.  Baxter doesn't like it when Newton takes his toys away from him and he doesn't want Newton sleeping in the bed.  I think that once they all settle down they will all make good playmates together.

My beautiful flowers that my wonderful hubby sent me

The newest addition to the Bosch family, Newton!
