Isn't he the sweetest?
Shadow's 8 week photo shoot. LOL! I really lucked out and got this while I was playing with him in the leaves. I took a bazillion shots and got a few good ones, that's all that maters! ;) We're dealing with "the poops" still. David called the vet and got some medication for him. He had shots/meds a week ago, ate some cat food (that'll do it) and was switched to a different food (Melissa, we switched to the 'other' food you suggested. Petco here is not carrying the other one anymore. They said it wasn't popular enough. Whatever. We were desperate because we didn't think THAT would happen, so the switch was a little abrupt, I'm sure. Poor puppy!)

Shadow's 2nd Day

Wow, we love this puppy! :) I just wanted to quickly say a "public" blog thank you to Melissa and Brad, the breeders. Today we started taking Shadow outside to go potty. We also had the Wee Wee pad out. He had a few accidents early this morning (in the kitchen, not on the pad) and then we started taking him outside. He's gone potty every single time and has only gone one other time...and that was on the pad! We're thrilled! Of course, we are on major potty watch all the time...after eating, after sleeping, after playing...but, hey, it's working! So, thank you guys for everything YOU did while he was there. We at least feel we're off to a good start.

One thing we are learning. Don't leave anything on the floor! LOL! We're used to 3 messy boys. I'm just wondering how long it'll be before something gets chewed and their lesson will be learned!

Shadow also got into our vet today. Everything checked out fine. He had a couple shots...which I can't even remember what they were, David took him.

Oh...he'd better stop chewing on my Crocs and computer cords! 2 things you don't mess with. LMBO! ;)

Meet Shadow Deuce Fox!
Our new cockapoo puppy! We just got him today. I will post more pictures soon. The boys are super excited and Tristin has already asked about 1,000 times if he's ours to keep. LOL! David came up with the name Shadow. "Scooby" just didn't fit because he's so black. We thought about naming him "Izzy" after the dog I grew up with or even "Deuce" meaning the 2nd Izzy. So, we went with Shadow and I snuck the Deuce in as a middle name. LOL!!!! He's sleeping at my feet next to the couch right now and Popeye (our 14 year old cat) is sitting across the room staring at him! Shadow already tried to play with Popeye (David got it on video, I'll have to see if he'll You Tube it for me!) :)
