What's new... a puppy

So a lot has happened since my last post…. I know it has been forever or 10 months!!!!

In my last post we had just got Gambit, our wonderful white lab. Well now Gambit is 11 months old. Wow time flies. Here are some pictures of him. He used to be so small and now he’s huge.
Then...
Now...
The top two pictures are with Tucker, his best friend (Mandy’s boxer). They have been together since we first got Gambit. And when Mandy got married we got to babysit Tucker for the last 6 month, since she couldn’t have Tucker in the new place they lived. We have loved having Tucker and will be sad when Mandy takes him back. He really has taught Gambit so much and has kept Gambit from chewing everything up… well maybe not everything. Just a couple weeks ago Gambit decided to tear the stuffing out of the arm of our couch… got to love the puppy chew phase. I’m pretty sure this was a rebellion against having our new addition….

In preparation for Tucker leaving us soon, :( we decided to get another dog to help keep Gambit entertained. So we found an adorable boxer puppy.
We found him in the classified ads 2 weeks before we were heading to Lake Powell, so we asked the owner of the litter to hold him for the next 3 weeks. I wanted to take him home so bad, but I had to wait. It actually turned out great he was a little bigger and not so fragile for Gambit to play with. After throwing a few names around we decided to name our new puppy Stark. Since Gambit came from an X-men character we decided to keep with the super hero theme and named him after Ironman’s Tony Stark.
Well when we first got Stark, Gambit wasn’t too thrilled, he growled at him the first couple days. Now they are great friends and love to play tug-o-war and wrestle. We love having them!
