New Family Member.....Dexter


After much begging, pleading, researching, and finally cuddling up to Dad.  We have a new dog by the name of Dexter.  He was neglected by his owners and a teacher at summer camp was trying to find a home for a puppy that was a poodle mix.  However, July turned into a very busy month and we couldn't find a time that we all could get together.  The biggest obstacle was Harley.  Could they get along?

They met and did amazingly well.  Dexter cuddled up to Dave when he walked outside.  The decision had been made he was staying.

He looked like a small shaggy dog.
Before being groomed.

Afterwards....Who was this dog?
When the groomer brought him out I was in for a big surprise.  Are you sure this is the same dog?  Stephen assured me that it was.  The kids were also surprised to him after camp.

While trying to find out his background he has had all his shots, been fixed, and his name was Sheek.  It then as changed to Daxter.  We voted as a family and he became Dexter.  We also found out that he is a Miniature Schnauzer.  Which is supposed to be a good breed for kids.  The only downside is he is still a  puppy at heart being only 1 1/2 years old.

The kids are trying to take care of him but the soon give up and of course Mom has to pick up the slack.  Oh well it's good for them to learn and be responsible for taking care of him and Harley.
