So on Sunday, July 19, 2009 there was an addition to the Terry Family. We adopted a little Blue Heeler puppy. On the day of adoption he was 9 1/2 weeks old. The shelter had named him Oreo and we thought it fit so we left it. He is the same breed as Oscar only acts totally opposite. Oscar really is a two person dog. He is most comfortable and loves Shawn and myself. He will tolerate others if he is around them long enough for days on end. However, Oreo is your typical puppy is excited to see everyone and loves on whoever will let him, which is great for the kids. I will have to say he has been a lot more work than Oscar was as a puppy. So far he has had numerous accidents in the house, tried to chew on more things than I can count, and for now I have to get up at 1:00 to 1:30 in the morning to let him out to go potty. I just keep reminding myself it is only for a short while and then we will have him trained. We worried about how Oscar would react, since he has been our only puppy and spoiled puppy at that for so long. Let's just say for the most part he enjoys having a little brother. They will play for hours on end, but there are certain times when he wants nothing to do with the little trouble maker. Oreo is full of personality, he is clumsy, carefree, and what we call a knuckle head, but we are all happy to have him.
Oreo on the first day @ his new home, isn't he cute.
He likes to sleep in our coffee table between the blankets. His head had slipped off the table, so Clayton put the little pillow under his head.
Just another cute picture with him under the table, he definitely is full of personality
He does sleep after a lot of playing
Oscar & Oreo playing outside, it is funny to see how similar they can be with their actions & likes.

The kids sure love Oreo. When we got home they tried to get Amos to play with sticks like Oreo did, but he is too much of an old grump to play with them. Thanks for all of the fun we had last weekend.
Cute! What a fun little dog!
