Dogtopia

All you dog-lovers out there will appreciate several of my posts over the next few days. ;) One of Indie's biological sister's is visiting us for a while. Her family is on vacation and we are pet-sitting Miss Bailey. Indie and Kasey are definitely enjoying the extra play time; there have been nonstop wrestling and barking matches all day long. Bailey is a huge instigator, barking and whining at Kasey until she gets up and runs after Bailey.

Here's one of the many videos and photos to come. Enjoy! ;)

Indie Is Four Months Old!

Indie, our beagle mix rescue puppy is four months old today. He is still quite the handful. When we got him he was six weeks old and 3 1/2 pounds.


Now he's four months old and over thirteen pounds!



We're still playing the guessing game when it comes to figuring out what his other half is. Right now we are thinking he has some Jack Russell in him. Others have suggested that he could be part Rat Terrier or a Spaniel of sorts. What do you think?

Puppy Video!

Indie, our Beagle mix puppy, is almost 4 months now. He's a twelve pound ball of teeth, kisses, and boundless energy. This weekend my husband and I took him and his sister Kasey to the dog park, and it was Indie's first time there. At first he was a little hesitant, but then he believed himself to be just as big as his 100 pound sister.

On another note, here's a funny video to brighten your day. I apologize for how dark it is, the sun wasn't quite up. This is how my husband Matt gets woken up in the morning after I get up and feed and empty Kasey and Indie. (Indie is 3 months old today!) If you have sound turn it on to hear Indie; it's not as funny without the sound. Matt says he sounds like a parakeet. ;)

Indie Pics!

10-Week Old Indie

For those who are new to my blog, WELCOME! Indie is the 10-week old rescue Beagle mix we adopted when he was six weeks old. He's been quite the handful, and always quite comical, happy to pose for pictures.

Here's what usually ends up happening at the end of the day after working in the studio and running around keeping an eye on Indie and his big sister Kasey:

Morning Sun

It's time for more Indie pics! Every morning after Kasey and Indie eat, they run around playing. When they are done playing, they like to rest in the sun.






Are they not looking at each other with love in that last photo? ;)

No Words Needed

We've had Indie exactly one week today. According to my postal scale he's already gained about a pound, and is still oh so cute.

Indie!

We adopted a new puppy. :) In this post I showed the four puppies we would have to pick from and we ended up with "Rebel" who we have renamed Indie.


Gah! He's so cute! He is a six week old Beagle mix and weighs 3 pounds. The size difference between him and our 3-year old German Shepherd is quite comical. Kasey, our first pooch, weighs 105 pounds. Here you can really see the size difference.

They get along really well and enjoy playing chase and giving each other kisses. Kasey is still learning how to share attention and her toys. When Kasey isn't looking Indie likes to abuse Kasey's stuffed fish.
While I was out running with Kasey the other morning, my husband took a video of Indie playing with the fish.





Needless to say he can be a handful. At night he is quite the cryer. My husband describes his crying as "a pack of orangutans attacking and killing a water buffalo and then fighting over it." Last night was his second night with us and thankfully it was already better than the first. I am sure I will have many more interesting stories and adorable photos to share with you in the near future.
