My New Friend

Our friends that we celebrated the holidays with yesterday got a new dog last year. Since they came to us last year -- sans dog -- we didn't get to meet him. That changed yesterday.

He's a darling Boxer who, initially was very frightened when we arrived. He was skittish and tried to run off but his pet parents blocked all the exits. I felt bad because I don't like for anything to be that afraid. But, eventually, the tide turned.


And I ended up with this: a 65-pound lap dog. Ozzie would've been SO jealous!

He IS such a sweetie. And he DID try to get in the car as we were leaving. But he is so loved by his new family, I know that would not have worked out.


But it might have been fun to see him torture Toby. Just for a little while.

thats too cute. I love big snuggly dogs, just when they belong to other people. Cleaning after them is too much for me to want to do it full time.

Ozzie certainly would be jealous & Toby would be running for cover! But he sure is cute!

I'm with Victoria - love OP's dogs, so I don't have to clean up after them. But he is definitely a cutie!

He looks so sweet! You must have a way with animals.

I better not let Coal see that picture or he will be jealous! If you ever sat down when you came over, you probably would have had a 78-lb lap dog!
