Welcome Crosby87

 Jud and I had an adventure this spring. We met a sweet dog named Trixie, who had 8 puppies. Border collie/lab mixes. We thought it would be a good idea to foster 2, a boy and a girl. Their names were Chip and Tootsie. We took them home and Sheldon was very curious, but also very nervous. We tried for a week and realized that Sheldon just wasn't really excited about having puppies in the house. He liked them outside and played but just not inside.
The story has a happy ending though... My friend Jenn, has two kids and decided she wanted to foster, to adopt BOTH puppies. They are now named Brooke and Cooper. They live close by so we get to see them sometimes. Can't wait to unite them with their brother... This is where the story get interesting.

 Chip(Cooper) is the brown with white feet and blue eyes and Tootsie(Brooke) is the blackish brown with white chest.

 MEET CROSBY87!!!!!

Marc, Jud and I went to take some donations to the shelter and met Reese. He is one of the sweet Trixie's litter, brother to Chip and Tootsie. Boy had these pups grown since we first brought the fosters home. We were thinking we could try introducing Sheldon to a pup closer to his size and maybe he would be more comfortable. We promptly renamed him Crosby87 (the 87 is silent), of course Jud came up with that.

 This photo is Sheldon's first introduction to Crosby87, I think he wants to play, lol.













The two dogs are fast becoming close buddies. They play like crazy outside, running and wresting. We have our own canine version of WWF. Sheldon does play with him in the house but seems to know tat if things are getting rowdy it is time to head outside. And, if Sheldon needs a break from the puppy, he has a soft bed and toys in Mama's closet he can escape to.

 Jud, Sheldon & Crosby
