Meet Frenzy

We've wanted another Wheaten for awhile so Bounce could have a buddy but the timing just didn't work out the past two summers. We figured this was the summer to do it so Matt can work from home and keep an eye on the dogs. On May 18 I emailed Bounce's breeder who happens to be in South Carolina to see if she expected any puppies this summer. Three days later I heard back from her that puppies are available NOW. The next thing I knew, we had coordinated with her to get a female Wheaten Terrier puppy during our trip to Washington DC so she could fly home in the cabin with us.

I was ready for a puppy, but wasn't ready for it to happen that fast! But now she's here and is the perfect match for our family.

The night we got her. Matt picked Frenzy out between the two females available.

Bounce and Frenzy meet for the first time.

Frenzy likes to follow and chase Bounce.

Bounce approves.

Frenzy - 13 weeks old.

Buds

It just warms my heart to see how quickly Bounce and Frenzy seemed to bond. You definitely see breed similarities in their personalities, like being trouble makers who love to get muddy. Ultimately I think it's great that Bounce has a friend but we are in trouble!

Pooped Pup

We wish we could just bring Bounce along on vacation with us, and do when we aren't flying, but our trip to San Diego meant 8 days at doggie daycare for our lovable pup. I always feel a bit guilty leaving him but then don't have to feel bad when I get his report card that says he plays nonstop while there.

We got a glowing report card that even said Bounce was very well behaved. (Shocking if you know him!) The only downside is the terrible stench he comes home with, a not-so-lovely blend of dog slobber, dirt and pee. Once we got him home and bathed he has just lounged around the house trying to recover from his playful vacay.

Bounce with me, Bounce with me...

Woofers!

(That's dog for 'what's happenin?')

This is Bounce. I see my parents do this blogging thing all the time and thought I better give it a try. Plus, they're working so I'm kinda bored. I'm gonna keep this first blog pretty short because I still haven't mastered this typing thing with paws.

Anywho, I'm pretty excited about this new blog too. When Matt and Cara told me about it, I BOUNCED around with excitement. Here's some photo evidence:


See what I mean? And that was just my warm up. The more I thought about it, the more excited I got. The excitement built, and built, and built and when I just couldn't stand it anymore, I LEAPED with joy and set a new doggy high jumping record! I almost cleared the grill!!

So, to recap. I'm excited about the new blog. Super excited. Jumping with joy, excited! And because of all that jumping, I'm pooped. Bed time for this bouncy pup!

Grrruff! (That's dog for 'later skaters!')
