Baby Boy Greenaway
November 1, 2009
8 lbs, 6 oz
21"

We're so in love with this new little guy! He sleeps like a champ and so far seems to be an easy going little fellow. Settling into life with a newborn is proving to be a smooth transition so far, and big brother is so excited to have a little brother! Heck, even the dogs seem happy to have a baby in the house. That said, I'm completely aware of the fact that it has only been a little over a week. I know, I know, things are bound to change. BUT! So far, sooooo good. And we're enjoying ever second of this special time together.

And the winner is...

Elissa Rust! Congratulations! You've just won the Boo! buckle collar giveaway! I doubt this 1.5" wide collar will fit your pug, but maybe you have another doggie in mind for your new BOO! collar. Elissa, email me (contact@classichound.com) your address and I'll drop this collar in the mail ASAP - so your fashion hound can maximize on the few weeks left in October.

Costume Party

These pictures are from an email my Dad forwarded to me a few days ago, and I just had to share them here, because they are such a riot!! (Wish I could credit the sources but have no idea who these dogs are or where they're from). I love the crab! And now I'm trying to decide.......what are Abby and Dewey going to be for Halloween? I still haven't settled on what Little Dude should be, let alone the doggies. Which got me thinking, what are some of you going to do for your dogs? Any fun ideas? I'd love to see pictures too!
