A New Man in My Life

He's soooooo cute. And cuddly. And funny and just a real nice fella. A real charmer, he is. His name is Homer. Here's a shot of him enjoying the beautiful Willsboro weather today in the back yard:


Homer had spent the last almost six months in the Elmore shelter in the nearby town of Peru. We think he's a Beagle-Bassett Hound mix. He's absolutely adorable, but most of that is his personality, though he is a real good looker. It's actually been kind of hard getting a good shot of him; he's always on the move.


Homer's brothers are all adjusting to having a new member of the family. I had hoped that Fred would be ultra excited about having a brother his size to play with, but he seems to be warming the slowest to the new boy. Bailey's cool, he's an equal opportunity lover to one and all. And Miller, the 16+ year old, is the one who is playing the most with Homer. What a sweet boy he is.

Fred is...disinterested, at best.

Bailey has been kind and patient with Homer.

Ever the Lab, Miller has been the most welcoming.

Homer has certainly made himself at home. He's quite fond of the the dog beds. His first night home he was back and forth between two dog beds, carting a toy with him, or just trying them out, seeing how far he could stretch in one, and how tiny of a ball he could fold himself into in another. He is definitely a fan of the beds:



Welcome home, Homer!
