Warning! Cute Puppies Ahead...

This past weekend we spend quite a bit of time at 'camp'.  My husband's family has almost 120 acres of land in the woods and a bunch of us have standing campers planted in the middle of nature!   My husband's cousin and her husband's 2 dogs BOTH had puppies within a week of each other!  Between the two of them they had 17 that 'made it' and 7 that didn't.  Could you imagine TWO DOZEN puppies!  Oh my goodness!  These two adorable ones were at camp for a while on Saturday.  They fell asleep like this under one of the 4 wheelers someone had up there.  Camp is not a stranger to kids AND furkids visiting so everyone knows to proceed the camping area with extreme caution.

Check this one out!  He seriously feel asleep like this on Jodi's lap!  So cute!  Wendy knows a lot of people and thankfully all of them have homes lined-up.  We would have taken one if we didn't already have 3 of them.  Plus these kiddos are Lab/Retriever Mixes and are going to be much larger than we are used to in our home of vertically challenged puppers!

BUT...guess who DID take one home!?  My Borther In Law Mike!  On Sunday they brought three of them to camp and the one snuggled up to Mike right away and stayed right with him the whole time!  I found an old sweater in the camper and his new puppy claimed it right away!  Mike has decided to name him "Blue".  For various reasons, really, but it stems from an inside joke of our love for the movie "Old School" with Will Ferrell.  That night Dale and I went home and grabbed a few toys from our stash (ones that we were hiding from our 'kids' because they were too fragile) as well as a leash, collar, and X-Pen...and brought it back for him to take home.  Right away I text messaged him yesterday to see how Blue did overnight and he did really well and him and Junior (his adult cat) and the new addition are already bonding well!  It's perfect because Mike has a nice sided yard that is also enclosed for Blue to run and play when he gets a little older.  Something that we lack at our house.  I'm so happy for him and know he's already 'attached'.
