checking in

What did the dogs get for Christmas?

Did everyone have a nice holiday?

"Do I need to do everything??"

I am sure this is what Braddock was thinking last night as I kicked him out of the room. He knew he wasn't coming back in because of his snoring and he knew he needed to check on Levi (8 month old baby). I live in a very old house and you can hear every step anyone makes, and I could hear him checking on Levi once every couple of hours. Braddock didn't sleep much last night and is out cold today. I have never seen Braddock so tired. Mandy the other boxer decided to make a night of it next to the fire and has a ton of energy today. Braddock just loves this kid too much and had to make sure he was alright, I am not sure what his plans where if he wasn't but it let me sleep all night. Braddock looked at me with just one eye open this morning when I got up. He came downstairs and ate, and went back to bed. It is so nice having a boxer willing to take some responsiblity in this house. Now if I could teach him to make a bottle and change a diaper.

Serious competition

This new little 4 legged sassy princess is the newest member of the Hicks Family. Lily Mae is Jan's Christmas present. She is funny, loves her toys and we hope that her and Pitch get along famously. I know Buster and Duke will love her, Sugar will be her mommy and Sister will have her nose seriously bent out of shape. Should be an interesting Christmas
