Meet Walter

Walter is the newest addition to our household. We found this cutie on Petfinder.com. He was described as a Mastiff/Boxer mix, but we've decided he's definitely a "Boxador."
Boxer/Labrador Mix: Pretty close don't you think?

We brought him home Wednesday night. So far he is a great puppy. We made it through the first few nights just fine. (No major potty issues!) So far he understands "sit" and is currently working on "shake." His dad is hoping to teach him some pretty difficult tricks in the near future, i.e., "get me a beer."

We just got back from his first weekend at the lake. The family (including dogs) loved him, but how can you not!?! He was a little hesitant to get in the water, but that's a work in progress. His weekend pretty much included play, sleep, eat, play, sleep, eat, and so on. Gotta love the life of a puppy. I'm sure we will see some change in his behavior as he gets use to his new home.

Here are a few photos from Walter's first 5 days with us.

Naptime in the grill cover. He will curl up anywhere.

He is going to be a beach baby.

More nap photos.

At 8 weeks old, Walter is already 21.5 pounds. I will keep you posted on his growth and development.

xoxo,
T
