Bruce and Thelma

They didn't get along at first. He was an invader and it was her space. We wanted to take him back anyway, he cried all night the first night home and I was frazzled, exhausted and ready to sell him to the highest bidder. After a few weeks though, Bruce has really become a part of the family. He and Thelma are constantly playing and teasing each other running through the house.

Bruce is a very playful dog that LOVES to run away. He thinks it is a game and then after chasing him all through the neighborhood, you'll come back to find him sitting on your doorstep. He likes water too. You can just assume his personality is the opposite of Thelma's which it is and that gives us a good mix.

Tired dogs!!

Thelma wants him to play with her SO badly. 

Ribs and Rhythm Festival... Oh, and we got a dog

I have been thinking about getting Thelma a furry sibling for a long time but wanted to wait until her knee was fully healed and I had permission from her vet. Well... I got the green light in February but wasn't too ready to jump into the commitment of a new dog just yet.

This little puggle was on a leash outside the Ribs and Rhythm Festival. He looked at me with those big brown eyes and that cute piggly little tail and I was a goner... lucky for me so was Anthony. So we paid SAFE (Saving Animals From Euthanasia) our $75 and got ourselves a new member of the family and a rather alive souvenir from St. Augustine.

On our drive home together our new pup didn't stop whining until we rolled down the window and then Anthony started singing "Thunder Road." It was as if he picked his new name Bruce. I later gave him the middle name Draper after watching some Mad Men that weekend. With his very BIG personality, he definitely seems like The Boss of our house.
