My Funny Boy

Nixon is the funniest dog ever. We just got into our new condo and have been renovating, so we haven't exactly had all the time in the world to spend with our dog. SO, I suppose we were lucky that Nixon has always been able to entertain himself. We were sitting on the couch after a long day of work and Nixon was wide awake, I walked outside for a minute and he quickly followed. When we went back inside nixon began playing with something little and black that he had brought in from outside. HE WAS FREAKING OUT! He was going so crazy, that I thought the black thing was a bug, so I grabbed it from his mouth.

Not a bug.

A rock.

A ROCK! Nixon would set the rock on the ground and then pounce on it. When it wouldn't move, he would push it with his paw, and it would go sliding clear across our wood floor. Nixon would chase after it and shake his head, jump all around it, and push it again. Hilarious. Much funnier when you're there in person, but still, hilarious!

Nixon

I'm pretty certain this will be the name of my new best friend, but you never know, we change our minds a lot. So Nixon is mine and Zac's new puppy. Michelle drove clear to Ferron, UT with me on monday to pick him up. Ferron is one trip that will never be made again... I hope. It is approximately 5 hours from Logan, UT. But it was worth it just this once to get my beautiful boy! Michelle took these fantastic pictures. Right now Nixon is sleeping on my lap. That's what he does most of the time, but when he is awake he is a bundle of joy. He gets way excited to play with his hunting duck and loves to be around people. Basically, he's a freakin' awesome dog. Nixon was born on Thursday, April 16, 2009 and was officially part of our family on Monday, June 15, 2009. We love him and look forward to a fun life with him.
