Hello, Nitro

Big developments in the Schubert household this week. (hi, again, by the way. I haven't blogged for a while.)

We adopted a seven month old boxer/black lab mix puppy this week. His name is Nitro (that's what his owners named him, and it fits), he's a big ball of energy, friendly, playful, and adorable. A family here in Bellevue put him up for adoption; they have two small kids and one of the parents is stationed overseas. They couldn't take care of him any longer. So we adopted him, and what we thought happened would: we met him and immediately fell for him. So now he's adjusting to his new surroundings here, learning to like his brother Clyde, and being his playful self. He hardly barks, he licks us half to death, and he's a funny dog. As weird as it might sound...I feel a little bit of normalcy has been restored. We've had one dog since Rosie died and things felt out of order. Now with two dogs again they're starting to feel normal.

Hopefully, the weather will warm up a little where we can take Clyde and Nitro for a walk over the weekend. I should probably get past my cold too before I go outside in the weather.

I'll post some pictures tomorrow of Nitro; I'm trying to get one of him and Clyde together.
