Introducing Baxter, and dinner

So did we tell you that we got a new dog? His name is Baxter. Baxter is a lab-collie mix that we got from a shelter in Denver. He is just over 1 year old and enjoying life.


Baxter has been equipped with a backpack for hiking, many toys that he destroyed like a donut at a weight watchers meeting, and a couple other outdoor living accessories. He loves to hike and fetch a raquetball or tennis ball.

We took Baxter camping on the South Platte river near Deckers, CO, this last weekend and he did well. Other than going postal on some neighbor campers when they walked by with their headlamps on at night (I am sure they left a snickers in their shorts) he was well behaved. Fishing was decent, and Bax and I played fetch with this fishes head for a while before heading back out to the river.
