Meet the newest member of our family...


Oliver!


Yes, we got a dog! Yes, we have a 6 week old at home. No, we aren't crazy.

We have been talking about getting a dog since before we got married. Rob occasionally looks on craigslist, and he found Oliver. He was a rescue dog, 2 years old and house trained. He can walk on a leash, he rarely barks, he sits when he is told, and stays when he is told. He already has his shots, he is fixed, and he has one of those computer chips in him, in case he gets lost. Can't ask for more than that! The 'foster parents' let us keep him for almost a week to make sure he was a good fit. We got attached, so he is ours!

He is a Boxer/St. Bernard mix. He is full grown, so he won't get any bigger. He is such a sweet dog, I think he will be a great pet for our family!


I do keep him away from Bobby for the most part, although all he has done is sniff him. Pretty soon, I'll have to keep Bobby away from him!

Are you kidding!?! Are you not busy enough with Bobby?? =)

Well, he sure is cute. So, I can see why he would be hard to turn down.

What a crazy mix of breeds---but he totally looks like both! He's a cutey!
