Boone and Crockett

As most of you already know, 
we decided that we needed more animals in our family! 

The first day of work, 
I met a man who had just had an unplanned litter 
of German Short Hair/Brittany Pointer puppies. 

He was giving them away, 
for free! 

Blake has always wanted a GSP 
but I refuse to pay for a dog 
when their are so many who need good homes. 

I mentioned it to Blake 
and we went to see them that weekend.  

We feel in love with these 2 guys 
and were having a hard time deciding between the 2.

6 weeks old
After much debate, 
I let Blake choose which pup he wanted and he chose Boone, 
mainly because of his markings. 

A week later while on a walk 
he randomly said 
"what do you think about getting both?" 

I couldn't believe it 
because I had been thinking the exact same thing 
but didn't want to be the crazy one to say it out loud, ha! 

So we texted Dale 
letting him know we would take both! 

We would go play with them every evening after work  
to get them use to us and to let RHETT feel them out
before we brought them "home".

RHETT is not too sure about them at all at this point

Week 8 and worn out!

 RHETT is doing so well with them
and will actually get up and play every now and then! 

We are loving having them around
and the spunk they bring to RHETT! 

They are growing like weeds 
but thankfully they won't be too big 
(compared to RHETT at least). 

Crockett is very independent.  
He plays by himself, naps often 
and doesn't require much attention. 
He is significantly larger than Boone
and has Brittany coloring on his face.

Boone is our sissy dog.  
He constantly whins for no reason. 
He was the runt 
and is going to be a hand full. 
He is super dramatic, 
gets his feelings hurt easily 
and is scared of everything.

 RHETT is such a good big brother
(george will be another story, I'm sure)! 


Here is a short glimpse into our evening strolls now, 
no longer leisurely, ha!
