Ty One On!

Another very pressing matter that the world needs to know is that I have a new puppy.  I have not had the best luck with puppies in the past (see the story of Buck) but I am hoping this will be a much happier story.

His name is Ty (short for Tayau which is the Cajun word for a big old hungry slobbery hound dog.)

Ty is freakin adorable.  He is eerily similar in description to Buck which I worry makes me some kind of crazy dog replacer but my sister says I just have a type.  I prefer that explanation.


So back to how adorable he is, I must say that he is changing by the day.  He has already gone from this:

To this carpet-wetting shiny eyed monster:

Seriously though, he is a joy most of the time and he and the monster are getting along well.  You know I'm a big fan of dogs so I'm sure you will be seeing more of these pictures.  I love the ears now, which remind me of those triangular garden flags people hang.  Maybe state flags for the land adorable.

Ty's tiny teeth
Hardly hurt at all
Until a few weeks later
When they're bigger than I recall.

He sits soundlessly in my lap
Curled up like a dinner roll
It was only half my lap
Now he takes it up in whole

Afraid of actions and sounds
As in, every one under the sun!
But suddenly he runs 'round the ranch
Exploring and having fun.

He started a tiny puppy
But is almost the size of a horse.
He is somehow outgrowing me
With no sign at all of remorse.
