Boy's best friend

We went this weekend to check out a potential puppy for Boogie.  He has loved dogs for a looooong time, and has dog-cousins Buddy, Shady, Jake that he loves and that love him.  We miss our dog, Ruger.  Roo was our first baby, we got him before we got married.  He would make sure that I knew if Drew needed something...if he was crabbing or uncomfortable, Roo would get my attention and look at me like "HE NEEDS SOMETHING!'  He was the most gentle, loving, and protective dog!  He would 'make his rounds', check on Drew and I about every hour or so.  He would check on us, then do a perimeter check of the house to make sure all was well.  Then, he would hop back on his futon and sleep.  He just wanted to be part of the family, and we have missed him so much the since he has been gone.
Saturday, we went to look at some pups and see how Drew and they interacted.  The pups were born on Oct. 17, so it will still be a while before we welcome him to our home.  There was one puppy out of all of them that took an interest in Drew, and Drew seemed to like him the best too.  He is know as 'electric blue collar' , so the breeder can tell them apart, and make sure all the pups are eating  and getting socialized.  This one was a pudgy, hungry little guy, and his eyes weren't open yet.  He was also the most interested in Drew.  Drew liked him too!  He was soooooo cute!  He snuggled right up to Drew.  Drew was all smiles, as the pics show.  We have our eye on 'electric blue collar'.  Can't wait to see him in a few weeks, when he is getting into mischief with his littermates and exploring the world.
We also carved pumpkins, which Drew has absolutely no interest in.  The one on the left says 'Drew rox'.  Ah, well.  The deer, squirrels, racoons and birds at the cottage will be feasting on pumpkins
till they get their fill!  I hope all is well in the blog-o-sphere with everyone!
Peace,
