The last few days

My daughter had her baby on Wednesday the 27th! She did have to have the C-section so she didn't go home until Saturday. We've been staying at their house since then. We have pictures on their camera that they are going to share with us, but did manage to snap a couple on mine.

This is Xavier with Daddy.














Here's Mommy with jealous dog Manix and baby Xavier.














Then, as if that isn't enough news, we have a new puppy. My son watched him roaming around where he works a few days - did some investigating and found out the owners booted him out because he had mange. My son took the opportunity to nurse him back to health (mange is gone) and we now have a beautiful puppy. The owners said he's a Lab/Boxer mix? Does he look like that to you Matron? I know you know dogs.














He likes to hang out below the garage.




























I thought I recognized pitbull, but I guess we'll see. He was in bad shape at first, lost most of his hair on his back and had scabby patches on his upper shoulder area. What I read suggested that it was the neglect that caused it. Not eating properly. Now there's no skin problem and all his hair is back. We have him on vitamins and puppy food. My son was supposed to have reported the previous owner.

I bought one of the dog whisperer books and it's so good.
