Introducing Howie, the newest addition to our family!!

Yes, that's right! Miley's a big sister now, and we are in puppy heaven. :) Not long after we got Miley we realized how much joy she brought into our lives and quickly discovered we couldn't have just one! In addition to that, we saw how much Miley enjoys playing with other puppies, and we knew we had to have another. :)




February 8, 2007
Fortunately, Miley just loves having Howie around as a playmate and snugglebuddy... So far! :D We'll see if she still feels the same way in a few days when she realizes he's not going home!!! :)

Howie came to us from Sunwood's Boston Terriers in Canal Fulton, Ohio. Click Here to see Howie's Pedigree! We found out that we were going to be able to get him the same day we were to leave for our ski trip to Snowshoe, West Virginia. As it turned out, we were able to drive over to Ohio on our last day skiing and pick him up in person!




February 7, 2007, Howie's first family portrait...
Howie's breeder Jill was very sweet and very organized! This is Howie's first family portrait at the Jill's house, the night we picked him up...


These were the first pictures we ever saw of Howie, from Jill's webpage. 


These are Howie's littermates: a sister, Tabitha, and a brother, Travis.

Howie's not sure how he feels about having his every movement documented through photographs...


February 10, 2007

And he's still figuring out the food dish... :D

But he definitely has snuggling down pat!!!

When I first met Howie, he was just the cutest thing I had ever seen. I loved his little smooshy nose, his white tip on his ear, the little brown dot on the back of his ear, the little black dot on his paw, how tiny and soft he was, the way he smelled... Everything about him!!! :)

And he's quickly taking after his big sister by playing with her favorite toy... :)

I don't want him to get any bigger... I want him to stay this tiny forever!! :)

February 11, 2007
I just can't photograph this sweet face enough... :)

A little Howie head tilt... :)


February 11, 2007
Howie's ears are already starting to stand up!! No fair, I want him to stay a puppy forever... :)




February 11, 2007
Howie's trying to be a shark, just like his big sister... :)




February 11, 2007
I just love holding Howie like this and looking into his sweet, smooshy face... :)


February 11, 2007
Howie loves munching on, rolling in, and pretty much anything to do with all of our dead grass.. :P




February 11, 2007
Howie says, "Back off, sis!! This tennis ball is MINE now!!!" :)

"Mama, why you hide all my toys in this box??"




February 13, 2007
"Hah! I found it! Now I leap out of box in a single bound!!"




February 13, 2007
My ears stood up so straight they're starting to curl backwards!!!

Howie can't *quite* pick up that soccer ball in his mouth yet... 
But he is certainly doing a good impression of a "Straw Dog"... ;)

So lazy... :)

February 23, 2007
Not the best pictures I've ever taken, but I was having serious camera issues this day. 
(Had to take a trip down to Wolf Camera to fix it!) 
I wanted to remember his sweet little expression at this age, so this is the best I could do. :)




February 23, 2007
So young... So innocent... Howie doesn't know what the word "bath" means yet... He has no idea the torture that is about to ensue... :D


February 23, 2007
"Um... I'm not sure how I feel about this BATH thing!!!"




February 23, 2007
"Being cold, wet, and soapy is *definitely* not cool Mom..."


February 23, 2007
"Ugh! How much longer must I endure this torture!"


February 23, 2007
Mid-shake Spray :)

"I'm not getting up until it's as warm out there as it in here!!!"

Howie refuses to sleep alone and must be cuddled at all times. 
Fortunately, his toys are almost as good as mommy's lap... :)
