Yesterday and today were beautiful! I took Baxter and Bella to our local dog park (didn't drive all the way down to Minnehaha) yesterday and today after work. We brought our tennis ball and throwy thingy and tired ourselves out!
Yesterday we found a new friend who may even be Baxter's biological brother. This big guy looked just like Baxter - just a little taller - and a little blacker. He even had a purple collar on! Hunter's mom said she rescued the lab/dane mix from an abusive home - and that he was around 4 years old as of this past spring. WOW! I told her we got Baxter from the Humane Society - knew he was brought in with his mom and littermates - and was born in March 2002! So - even if they're not brothers - they had a fun time bouncing around and playing. We hope to run into them again sometime!
Today we went again - brought a new ball (cuz we lost the one yesterday) - and played again. The park was very busy - but we found a spot a little away from the crowd to throw the ball. Bella started getting so tired that she actually plopped herself down in hole to chill out. I figured we were done playing fetch - so started walking again. Who did I see across the puppy playground - and through about 30 dogs running around - Bryan Raymond. He was there with his dog Tori (named for Tori Hunter). He and his wife just had a baby July 29th! I told him about Alice and we chatted about our dogs - and that's about it.
Dog park days are good - cuz sleepy puppies like to go to bed early and cuddle with mom! So - off I go - Baxter's already snoring!

So cool about the "long-lost-possible-brother"!
I have not checked this in awhile, nice to see the new posts. We would love to be closer to you guys, but don't want to deal with winter, cold/snow/slush, ugg! We plan to see you at thanksgiving and again at Christmas, so cool down, it will be fine.
I Love You,
Dad
