it's been a while since you had a pupdate.buxton is just shy of six months.  he's still piddling in the house from time to time {on the puppy pad which has become our new doormat by the back door}.  he's a whiner & refuses to jump ONTO the couch, but he will not hesitate to jump OFF of he couch.  he still hoards toys.  he still annoys frisco.we had a scare a couple weekends ago.  after his first trip to the beach, we noticed that his left eye was red & he was squinting.  after a trip to the emergency vet, two eye stains, a few photos {yes, the vet took pics of his cuteness!} & a prescription of drops, the diagnosis was conjunctivitis.  go figure. {buxton}once upon a time, we were strictly a cat family.  now we have two dogs.  go figure. {can you see some of the red … [Read more...]

when the weather is nice, we love to take a stroll along the atlantic ocean.the kids love to look for shells.buxton isn't too keen of the sand just yet, but frisco {that handsome guy pictured above} loves the beach.  he splashes in the waves & he chases the shorebirds.  also, he may or may not have peed on a beach towel as we walked along the beach...{but that happened last summer}the beach is so peaceful this time of year. crowds of vacationers haven't infiltrated the beach at sandbridge...just yet.spending an hour at the beach.  just the four six of us.it truly is heaven on earth. … [Read more...]

a pupdate: buxton.

April 2, 2011 by · 4 Comments

i'm warning you now:  be prepared to overdose on cuteness. from his squished in nose, his "blew" eyes {one eye blew this way, the other blew that way...thanks, dad} & his sweet lil' paws... yep, buxton will stop you dead in your tracks with his crazy, latte colored eyes.  even worse? when he shakes his whole rear end {because he can't wag his tail}.  watching him shake his boom boom because he's happy to see me?  i die.  i'll share video of that, promise, but for now enjoy some photos of the little stinker.ridiculously cute, right?yeah, i think so, too. … [Read more...]

i feel like it's my job to share all of the cuteness that seems to be oozing from my home now that we have become a two dog family.life with a new pup has been fun.  throw rugs have been replaced with puppy pads.  dog toys cover my living room floor.frisco's 'super-sized' crate {a.k.a. his house} is, once again, in the bedroom.so far, things have been a breeze.frisco is very tolerant of the puppy.aside from hosing down my dyson, frisco hasn't shown any signs of jealousy.i love how both dogs tease each other.i love watching them chase one another & fight over toys and sticks.buxton is a good sleeper.  he's a good snuggler, too.frisco is, too.{must be a boston thang.}we make every effort to have one-on-one time with frisco.we constantly tell him how much we love him.he's our big bubs. … [Read more...]
