RAIN+Puppy=wet dog

So this rain has got to stop. It makes everyone miserable. Hopefully tomorrow we will have some nice weather. This will do 2 things for me, allow the grass to dry, and allow me to mow the grass. Wet grass is not something fenway likes at all. He has his little short legs which means he is right down there close to the grass. When we bring him out to "do his business" he quickly runs back to the cement walkway.....where there is no wet grass. It doesnt help that the grass is growing and I dont have the chance to mow it. We've only had a few nice days since Fenway has come to our home.

TOnite we had some fun playing with the squeeky ball. We also had a short photo shoot, which again, he thinks the camera is a toy.....not so much.






And of course, Gotta have a little fun with him too:

til next time........

another good day

so the excitements comes during the day when fenway "POOPS" and "PEES" he has been really good with the training. He is getting used to going outside here and is realizing he is doing something good. After he goes he runs right over for praise!! He is doing great responding to his name, the breeder started this early so that helped a ton.


Fenway has been getting used to his collar/harness and leash. he still doesnt like it but slowly he is getting used to it.

We ventured accross the street today and met some neighbors. They were very friendly and excited to see there new little neighbor. They welcomed us to the neighborhood and fenway made some more friends.

Tomorrow is fathers day and we are headed to Marshfield to see my dad and mom. They are very excited to meet fenway.

We will have more pics and videos we took today uploaded most likely either tomorrow night or monday, Amanda is out for Betsy's bachelorette and I think she has the camera.

So thats all for tonite.

FENWAY

So this evening, Amanda and I picked up our new pup from the Breeder. We have had some fun with him and now its time for him to get used to his new crate and sleep. We know it will be a long night, its a new home, no other puppy friends and new people.


We will have more pics and videos soon. Stay tuned for updates!!!

Rock garden

my latest project in the back yard

The Blog is back

Blog is back and ready for some fun. Its been a while since a real in depth blog post. I've been busy doing work around the house and amanda has been excited and "puppy proofing" the house. Yes, as seen in previous posts, we are getting a puppy on thursday, Fenway Frank, a red long haired dachshund.

In honor of his arrival, we purchased a package of Fenway frank Hot dogs. As you can see in the picture, we have his food bowl ready, a crate, baby gates and already lots of toys. More pics to come of the little guy on Thursday after we pick him up!!!

I've been kept busy on the side working on some logo designs for what is becomin the next best thing to NESN (or so Craig thinks and hopes) www.4sportboston.com I've been creating some various logos, banners and other random things for him and his Logo design contest. Some of the designs can be seen on his blog page as well as his facebook page.

Another thing that has kept me busy, my new hobby, Rock hunting. I've recently realized that, yes since I live near a quarry, we have rocks. Around the edge of the tree line, I have found out that when they built our house, and rocks they had they threw to the sides and now have been grown over throught the years. Now, the explorer in me, has found these rocks and am making it a mission to uncover as many stones as possible.

My first project with found stones was to create a stone island/mountain and incorporate my lighthouse to cover, protect and disguise the well. Looking at it now, you would never know there is a steel pipe coming out of the ground!!

I am now creating a stone garden on the side of the firepit to add some hardscaping to an area that right now seems overgrown. I will have more pics of that as the work progresses.

here are some recent pics of the house:


this was the garen when first planted, the veggies have grown alot since this pic was taken. More pics to come as things grow!!



Well thats all for now. More updates thursday or friday after Fenway has Arrived!!!
