Puppy Love

Meet Boomer

No one is more surprised that we got a dog than I am.  I don't consider myself a real "pet person",  but Boomer (or Boo) has made me a believer.   He is a Havanese. Yes, it is a real breed- we had to look it up here to make sure.  He is 10 months old and was well trained when we got him.    We did have an "Oh, no!  What have we gotten our selves into" moment when we left him the first time.  This is what we came home to...

We had put him in the bathroom while we went to church that day.  He tore up the carpet and the pad and had a hay-day with a roll of toilet paper.  Obviously he had some separation anxiety!  But since then we have put him in a crate when we leave and he has chilled out considerably.  We have even started leaving him out when we are going to be gone for short periods of time and he has done great.

Isaac and Boo on Halloween

 Boo is awesome at balancing on his hind feet.  He will dance and spin for his favorite treat, which are raw mini carrots.  He loves to play fetch and go on walks.  He is super cuddly and loves to snuggle with anyone sitting down.  The other day Isaac said, "I love Boo almost as much as I would have loved a little brother!". Which is good, since there are no plans for a little brother at this point.  

Boo loves to cuddle, especially with Isaac.
