Meet Reksi 8-19-08

Well, like our lives where not crazy enough.... We got a dog! Poor Reksi (Finnish for Rex) needed a new home when my Finnish dressage trainer, Mia, moved to a different stable. Since we where going to be moving into a new house with more land I told Mia that we would love Reksi, since he is 2 and good with hyper boys! (Mia's son Mishial, was 5 when they got Reksi and is now 7, and also very active) Well, we are still in the small house with the postage stamp of a yard but hopefully not for long. At least he is old enough to be done with all those puppy issues and young enough for Nick to play with. He is very sweet, but right now scared to death because his people just left him. Don't worry Reksi, we will be your new people and Nick is soooo happy to have a big dog to protect him from those "bad guys" he has been talking about so much lately.

(Next morning) Well, Daddy came home from work at around 3am in the morning and mommy was asleep on the couch with Reksi on the floor next to her. And did Reksi prove that he was protective. He jumped up and growled a scary growl at Daddy while standing between Daddy and Mommy. Once Mommy said it was okay, Reksi backed off and befriended Daddy. I think he is going to keep us all safe when we move out into the country.

Nick and Mommy went for a walk with the two dogs this morning also, so Reksi could get a feel for his new neighborhood. Nick had Scooter and Mommy had Reksi. We had a great time and enjoyed the sunny morning after three days of rain. Reksi was a good boy and Scooter did not seem to mind the big guy coming on his walk. Now, they are a force to be reckoned with in the neighborhood dog wars! Unfortunately, poor Scooter is not the king of the house anymore. Oh well, Nick still loves you too Scooter. On the plus side scooter... You have a big dog to help you guard the backyard from all those toads, cats and birds that just drive you crazy!
