Twins!

We adopted twins over the Christmas Holiday. The boys are seven weeks old, and quite the mixture of breeds. Mom is boxer and pit bull, and Dad is Chocolate Lab and Great Dane. The boys look very different, one like his dad, the other like his mom. They are growing fast, and will be quite large when full grown. We picked Bubba up on December 20th, and his brother Charlie on the 23rd. Bubba is the blond, and a solid little thing. Charlie is chocolate with a little white bow-tie. Both have completely different personalities. Charlie likes to cuddle in your lab and Bubba just wants to be next to you. We are still potty-training but the boys are getting a lot better; fewer and fewer accidents each day.



And yes, we have become those crazy dog people. We refer to our dogs as "The Boys" and call each other Mommy and Dad. We like napping with our doggies, and love our puppy kisses. We have cleared out the downstairs bedroom and the boys have their own room. We have baby gates up to keep them out of certain places and we rush home to hang out with them.

We have lost some of our freedom. We can no longer up and go away for a weekend without a puppysitter. I had a small panic attack on Tuesday night questioning what I have done getting two big dogs. But when they curl up together on their bed and Bubba puts his head on top of Charlie, I know I needed two. It wasn't fair for us to only get one dog and then go to work all day.


We have already fallen in love with our boys.

  3. As I was checking blogs, Isaac wanted up to see what I was doing. I had just opened yours and read the title when he started barking like a dog. I looked at him like he was Shaun's child and not mine, then laughed when I realized he saw the pictures of your twins! He's so smart... Definitely my child! Your kids are so cute! My two cats are still my children too!
