The Stork Finally Arrives

I apologize for not posting about our new babies this weekend. I left my USB cord to my camera at the office, so I had to wait until I came back to work to post some pictures. On Friday, Joseph and I traveled three hours down to St. Augustine to go pick up the boys. I want to give a big thanks to Nicole over at Ocean Breeze Dachshunds for giving us these amazing two little boys. (http://www.oceanbreezedachshunds.com/) If you are looking for some great puppies, check out her website. Couldn't be happier!! My main concern with getting the new puppies would be how Oscar would react to them. Yes, he has pouted and wanted nothing to do with them. But he is slowly coming around to them now that he realizes that they aren't leaving. He even curled up on the couch with them last night and even LET one of them lay his little head on him while they were snoozing. He also plays with them when he thinks that we aren't watching. It will take some time, but I'm sure that Big Brother will love them as much as we do.

We did end up changing Brock's name. The more we said it, the more it was sounding like Barrack and we didn't want any confusion on that one. As I predicted before we met the boys, I said just by the pictures I could tell that "Brock" was going to be just like Oscar. I just had that feeling. And boy was I correct! So we ended up changing his name to Junior or J.R. as in Oscar Jr. (Mom is still lobbying for us to change both their names to Oliver and Otis, like we had originally planned to do, but J is still wanting Brutus, so what can you do?) It is so funny watching JR and just how alike he and Oscar are. NOTHING stands in the way of nap time. They just have the same mannerisms. Brutus on the other hand is our little dare devil. He never slows down and wants to check out everything! And on a funny note, they LOVE it underneath my coffee table. It is the perfect little spot for them to ambush the other one, or our toes. Last night they discovered underneath the couch, but I am going to have to stop that one because the couch skirt is way too tempting not to chew on!

Ok...enough of the puppy love. Here are some pictures of the precious ones! To tell the two apart, Brutus is the puppy whose fur is darker. He also looks like he is kinda wearing a mask in comparison with JR who is lighter.

On Sunday, we drove over to Blountstown for the day. My little nephew, Barrett really enjoyed playing with the puppies. And the babies got to meet their Mimi. (and Papa who claims they are cuter than Oscar was. He knows how to get me going!)

NOTE: I had two videos posted but they aren't showing up when I publish them. I will try and get them posted tomorrow.
