Introducing Booger



Trish and I have been considering getting a second dog to keep Gracie company for a while now and on Monday we brought home our new buddy "Booger". He was our anniversary present to ourselves. Everyone thinks he is too cute to be named booger but, I have always wanted a male dog named booger, so too bad. He is a pound puppy, about 7 weeks old. Booger is also a miracle dog because he has already been brought back to life. When he was in to get his boys removed he went into cardiac arrest and the vet had to use Doggy CPR to bring him back to life. Thus he never got neutered. Being willing to die to save your testicles is pretty manly and awesome so I feel that Booger is off to a good start. I was worried he might be brain damaged but, he is alert, happy, and smart. Also, we have had Booger for over three days now and he has yet to have an accident in the house. Training is also going well so his brain seems alright to me. However, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed myself, so what do I know. Here are a few more pictures of the Boogie Man.

How Cute is that?

This is a stuffed Duck a couple at church gave Booger. I call it Mr. Quackers. It's the only toy he really likes to play with. He likes to man handle it, which is amusing to watch because it's bigger than him and it quacks when you squeeze it.

This is our other dog Gracie. We're doing our best to keep giving her some good love too.
She's not real sure what to think of Booger yet. When they were first introduced she gave him a sniff and then walked off. However, every day they have played together a little more. They actually played a little tug of war with a toy for the first time yesterday. Once Booger is a little bigger I think Gracie will like Him better.
