Meet Waylon!

December 13, 2007 at 11:34 pm (Minnesota, frankie, life, waylon)

We got a new doggy tonight.  His name is Waylon.  He’s a 5 year old Chocolate Lab/German Wirehaired mix.  I already love him so much!!  He’s so sweet, he’s trained, and he totally tolerates Frankie, which is huge!!  He’s greeted all of us with a wagging tail, including the kids (HUGE!!) and when someone knocked on the door, he had a nice deep bark that makes me feel very safe :-)  Waylon’s owner just died, so he was in need of a good home…we’re all super happy to have him here!!

Sorry about the crappy camera phone pics I have of him…I’ll take better ones this weekend, and maybe even a video of him and Frankie playing :-)
In other news, I’m going back to MN for work the first week of Jan.  Should be fun again, although we’re going strictly for grunt work this time with the new software we’re switching to.  Either way.  Business trips are fun :-)
Everything else is going ok.  We’re all set for Christmas, just have to wrap everything the night before.  Can’t wait to see the kids’ faces when they open their stuff!  I think they’re going to be really happy :-)
Oh, and if you haven’t read my bulletin on Myspace, I’m in need of addresses please :-)

    What an awesome dog! In the face he sort of reminds me of President Rutherford B. Hayes…or maybe James Garfield :-) Hope all is well…you need to come by my blog and check out my Christmas card pic :-)

    OMG so adorable. You’re lucky to have found a NICE dog…when you know what kind of home they come from it’s so much safer.

    MY pit is from a swat/police officer who lived alone. I love her to death, but i have to tell you..her breed makes people squeamish in my house. She’s 9. She couldnt’ hurt a stuffed animal if i askd her to.

    Good luck with ya new baby.

    Oh, he looks sweet! If it weren’t for betraying my cats (and they likely would let me know that in no uncertain ways), I would be tempted to get a dog. ;-)

    How’s everything with you since your wrote this post? Are you blogging on My Space exclusively now? I’d love the URL, if you wouldn’t mind sending it to me.
