While searching for puppy stuff a couple months back, I stumbled upon the most awesome artist who makes gorgeous, colorful pop art portraits. I was so excited to see that he offered prints of not only a pug but also a lab, both of which looked like my puppies! You can find his art here....Dean Russo Etsy Shop or here....Website He is an artist based in Brooklyn and according to his bio, creates vibrant acrylic paintings that combine soft touches of realism and the bold playfulness of pop art. Beautiful! I'm so happy to have his art in my home...and a bonus, it represents our dog family members.

Meet Dexter
Dexter, Dexter Doodle, Puggy, Puggles, Dexter DooDoo, Mr. Pugglesworth, Vampire Bat, Walrus, Little Piggy, Troublemaker, Mr. Toot-Toot...he goes by many names around here!
2 weeks ago today we brought our newest family member home, Dexter! It's been great but not without it's challenges of course. Kinda forgot how much work a puppy is and he is certainly a feisty one. It's like we brought an 18 month old home with vampire teeth! He can be such a sweety though and everywhere we've brought him people just melt.
Our yellow lab Molly however, is just not that impressed with him and isn't all that too bothered by his presence, at least not as jealous as I thought she'd be. She does get irritated by the pestering, but Dexter is well on his way as asserting himself as top dog. Poor Molly just isn't aggressive enough.
Our cat Max is definitely keeping his distance. He's having some health issues and can't be bothered by a pesky puppy.
Now the kids on the other hand can't get enough of loving him! He has definitely become the number one plaything around here and I hear them say "I Love You" to him many times a day. Puppies and children...so sweet!
A moment of sweetness between Dexter and Molly...

Meet Dexter
We will soon be welcoming a new addition to our family...a puppy pug named Dexter! We have been talking about adopting another puppy for well over a year and after seriously talking and researching, for probably the last 4 months, we found Dexter. He was born on December 16th and will be coming to live with us in the next couple of weeks. The kids are beyond excited!
