BIG DOG – little dog
We got the “okay” to bring Ebony in to meet her new little puppy! Ebony was… well, afraid of him! I thought Ebony was going to be excited and happy to meet this new little guy. It was so cute to watch Baxter chase Ebony around the little room we were in. You would think he was this big mean bully of a dog the way she was reacting! That’s our Ebby, though, she has issues. She is pretty much afraid of everything – now. It wasn’t this way when her buddy Jasper was alive – she was more or less fearless. Her courage passed away when he did, and I really hope that little Baxter can remind her that her courage never left…
Baxter has grown so much! He was attacking all three of us – trying to eat my face! He is a playful puppy – but his energy didn’t last too long, reminding us that he is still a small little puppy…
My Ebby knows she is important to me – hey, if I didn’t love her Baxter wouldn’t be coming to live with us. We love our animals – and it’s crazy when others don’t understand that. I just don’t understand how you could not love these creatures! They are like kids – you don’t want to have more than you can handle – you want to be able to afford to baby the ones you do have. Ebby was enjoying a moment of calmness while Baxter ate dinner. He is a slow eater – but he cleans his plate (Good boy)!
Yes, Ebby, we love you!
Sammy and Baxter are becoming great buds! Baxter was following Sammy all over the place – just like one of his pack. Sammy was more interested in Baxter this time – I think the older Baxter gets, the more real he becomes to Sammy.
This has been such an exciting event for us – going up to visit Baxter and being able to watch him grow. It is a little painful each time when we see him and cannot leave with him. I would rather feel this little bit of pain now then not go visit him at all – I know when the day does come that he leaves with us – he’ll be so much more relaxed than if we just showed up and took him. This way he knows us and trusts us.
