So as part of the proposal planning, Austin went puppy searching ALL BY HIMSELF. I figured he would at least consult with my dad, but he really wanted to do it himself. In fact, other than a week or two before he proposed, NO ONE knew what he was up to. After that.....is another post :)
He knew that I wanted and Australian Shepard since I told him all the time. At one point I had tried to buy a Rottweiler, but my homeowner's insurance wouldn't cover me if I did (don't even get me on my soapbox about that!). He found a liter and, partially because it was the only puppy left and partially because I don't think he realized how much harder a male dog is to handle, he picked out a male red tri.
The day before we got back from NYC, my dad went an picked up the puppy and kept him overnight. My mom picked us up at the airport and my dad was at my house when we got there. I was trying to unload the car and Austin was like "Just leave it, I'll get it all." So we went in and I slowly saw the little kennel with a puppy in it. I was sooooooo happy.
Soon we named him Baxter from one of our favorite movies, Anchorman. Since then, he has wreaked havoc all through the house. I eventually started taking him to daycare. Not really for him to enjoy, but for him to be worn out so he was more manageable at home. The strange part about it is that the daycare I have been taking him to is the same daycare I went to as a kid!! The people daycare went out of business and was bought by a doggie daycare. It's like going back in time when I go there though. It's still so much the same!
Although the daycare helps, he is still a young dog. Here is some of the havoc he has wreaked lately:
