A New Addition

Bailey has a new brother. He is looking up at Jon's new collie puppy. Miles Murphy Maximus
They are getting acquainted. Miles is full of puppy energy and Bailey is not sure what is going to happen.
Both dogs are nuts about Jon who got down on the floor with them.
Then Cassie had to get in on the party. She wound up going into the crate that Jon's friend Nick loaned him.
He is a Blue Merle and is absolutely beautiful - and curious and energetic and exciting to have here.


He also "talks" - He is not barking yet but whines a little.
Can you tell that we have one happy nephew and his new boy. We will always miss Max but this little guy will fill a space and we already love him.
An then after going outside and peeing he came inside and flopped down on the floor by Jon's foot and promptly went to sleep. He was awakened by Jon and made a loud protest at having to wake up and then went right back to sleep. His birthday is July 20 so he is little yet. His mother had 8 puppies so his birthday could be July 21. Good old Cancer (cusp)

Jon has been reading up on how to be a good dad and has been telling his uncle how to be a surrogate father when he is not here (Not like I have ever had a puppy before - maybe 8) --

There was another puppy (a white one) that Jon also thought he wanted but the first time he paid attention to Yukon, Miles got in between them. There was another one (Hoss) but Jon said he could tell that it was going to be a big one. I think he made the right choice.

So here he is and you will be seeing more pictures of him as Ginny wants to see him. Now we will see if he sleeps through the night. I am about to try that myself. Thanks for stopping by. Hugs. j

Welcome to Miles! Sounds like he chose Jon (since he wouldn't let Jon pay attention to Yukon). That's always a good sign.
