everyone and their dog

Well here is a long over due post! I can't believe how behind I am on blogging! Hopefully in September this blog will be buzzing- LOTS going on next month. In the mean time, let me catch you up on everything that's been going on.

We've been having so much fun having Buster! And he's been having fun too with some other recent additions to the extended family.

Not long after we got Buster, Nathan's sister, Amy, and her family got a brand new boxer puppy. Bubba and Buster hit it off right away. Buster loves having another puppy about his size that he can romp around with. They have so much puppy energy- it's exhausting just to watch them play sometimes! Amy and Robert got Bubba at the perfect time too- we were so grateful that Buster had someone to play with at the reunion. They kept each other entertained for hours.




Nathan's mommy surprised us when she wound up getting, not one- but two precious little puppies! Her little toy poodles are so cute- one boy and one girl named Beau and Daisy! I was a tiny bit nervous introducing Buster to them for the first time, since he has a tendency to be rough and clumsy, but he was so cute and gentle with them!

It was so cute, he would lay down so he could be on their level

Buster gets so excited every time we go over to Nathan's parent's house now. He jumps out of the car and runs right to the door. He knows the puppies are in there and he wants to play. Buster and Daisy love each other. Beau and Buster have kind of a love/hate relationship. Buster loves Beau, but Beau hates Buster. Haha! Buster has a hard time understanding that not every puppy loves him as much he loves other puppies.

So anyway, before the reunion we had a family dinner at Rod & Virginia's house- they invited everyone and their dog- literally!

Here's Grandma Smith and her dog, Honeybun; Sydni & Madison holding Virginia's puppies Beau and Daisy; Sarah and her Pomeranian, Rusty; Nathan with out little baby Buster; And Robert with their new puppy Bubba.

It was interesting having so many dogs, with so many different personalities all in one house- but it was fun too. It's nice for all the dogs to have so many playmates!
