Say hello to Baxter. IRael and I adopted him from the Humane Society on Saturday. He's an 11-month-old black lab mix with a tail that is curly like a spring. He is such a sweetheart and will climb over anything to come cuddle by your side. It's been fun learning what he likes and figuring out his personality. He came to the Society as a stray, so he's like a blank slate - they had no background information on him, but it's apparent he's been neglected (you can see in the picture some scratches/worn fur on his nose, we think from an over-tight muzzle). He doesn't quite know how to react to some of his new treats and toys, although he's quickly learning they're his to be enjoyed.
He is incredibly well-behaved, loves everyone he has met, and plays well with other dogs at the park. IRael and I are lucky to have found such a sweet dog and are glad he seems to be adjusting well to his new home. I love having an animal around again, his companionship over just the past few days has been a boost for my sometimes lonely spirits. We're looking forward to many great years with such a handsome, loving canine.
