So, puppy life has been eventful. Carter now has a partner in crime which can be funny and stressful at the same time. Here are few pictures from the last couple of months of our journey through puppyhood!!
We had weirdly warm weather on Valentine's Day, so Carter decided to take a swim. First, I must say that we have a continuous hot water heater, so we hook the hose up to it when the kids want to play outside. We live in Oregon, it's never warm enough for cold water outside!! Second, the contraption Carter is swimming in is a pond liner our neighbor was trying to get rid of. Carter managed to talk our neighbor into letting him have it. Carter told us he wanted to build us a pond! Oh, he makes us laugh. Anyway.......... It makes for a makeshift swimming pool. It was probably 70 degrees outside and the water was almost hot tub temp. Rowdy jumped in and loved it!!
Rowdy loved swimming so much that a few days later he escaped from our fence and went for a swim in our neighbor's actual pond. There was a lot of screaming (it's a Koi pond) and a lot of chasing as he was splashing around. I attempted to fish him out of the pond when the motion detector sprinklers came on drenching me. I might add this was the second attempt at swimming in one day. I gave him another bath and hooked him up outside to take a breather only to find him covered in mud again!! I give up! (Notice all the things that have been dragged into the flower beds as well.) Not a great day!!
We attempted to go for a walk. Rowdy and Carter are both like taking Curious George on a walk. It's exhausting!! But it made for a cute picture after the fact.
He's a cute puppy!! Especially when he's laying on the shoes he ruined!!! (Scott was laying on the bed completely unaware as he munched them too!!)
Look at those giant paws!!!
Did I mention that he sleeps like a rabbit? When he lays on his back while playing he looks like the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood and for whatever reason it makes him sneeze.
Even though it's incredibly crazy, these two are buddies. Carter told his friend today that he has a puppy right now to take the place of the little brother he doesn't have, but that there is still room for a little brother or sister in our family and then we will be a family of five. It was cute and it was in response to his friend telling him he's lucky to be an only child!! Ha ha!! Wish us luck!!
