New Friends

Dieks and I drove to Hayward to meet up with a friend of mine and her dogs. Oh did he have fun! He tried so hard to keep up with the Boston Terrier Emily, but his puppy legs just were not fast enough. That didn't stop him from trying though! They wrestled and ran and played in water over and over for almost 3 hours!  Emily even taught him to like water a little more and look for fishies in the pond they have Ha! He really did great even with the two other more barky dogs that are not pictured. We went home and he crashed...all after noon, night and again he's in his crate crashed this am LOL.

The Crew....

 Mr Dieks Chillin by the Pond. He is such a ham :)

Moving forward....

It's been rough getting past not having Athena around keeping me company. She was such a big presence in my life and I still dearly miss her.

But last month I started thinking it was time for me to get a new dog. I miss having someone to go on walks with me and keep me on my toes and I miss training.

So after some chats with friends i got a text one after noon showing me this shaggy pup who looked so sad. The minute I saw him all I heard in my brain was "MINE"

He had come into Carson NV animal shelter as a stray and ended up in their inmate training program for a few weeks.

So Saturday my mom, maks and I drove up to Carson City to pick up a new puppy. He is SUCH a love and catches on quickly. Even knows his name already :).

Although Athena is gone she will never be forgotten ever.

Introducing Dieks! They think hes a labradoodle? or goldendoodle? who knows till he gets older. He is about 4.5mo old and 26lbs. He doesn't shed (yet anyway) and really is a quick learner. Dieks is such a laid back boy and really loves to cuddle and play with toys :) He has such a different energy then Athena, but I love it.
