New Additions

Everyone saw the pictures Dave posted on Facebook about the new addition to our family.  Ginger Tiberius (courtesy of Ryder) Waters, 6 month old Golden-doodle.  Her previous owner passed away and his cousin brought her home with her.  However, she already has 2 large dogs and is gone for most of the summer.  So she needed a permanent home and we were the first on the list.

I told everyone that our next dog was not going to be a small, barking dog.  Dave had said no more dogs at all.  We took  him down to meet her and what does she do but snuggle up to him.  Dave gave us his blessing and we brought her home to meet Dexter.

Our barking machine didn't know what to think of this big fuzzy dog.  They started playing and chasing each other.  Dexter has really calmed down with the barking and doubled his playtime.  He doesn't like sharing his toys since she destroys them.

Playing tug of war.
The size difference is fun to watch.
Dexter has turned into the Alpha Dog.

They can do this for hours.
Or until Ryder gets in the middle then its outside
for all three.

Another white addition....A Ford Freestar Van just for Mom. Dave found this one at a price & mileage that couldn't be beat.  It was a must have for this Mom to haul kids, equipment, and friends.

It didn't start out so well for this addition.  We had mechanical problems on our first long trip to Springville.  Thousands later it finally made it home and runs really great.

The downside it cancelled most of our summer travel plans this year.

Let's hope these new additions settle in soon and we can enjoy the new summer plans we will need to make.
