Baxter

After having a Labrador for a few years in South Africa, when we moved here we had to give Jessie away. Chris has begged us for a dog ever since then, so two years ago we decided it was time to add a pooch to our family. Baxter is now 2 years old and he's a cockapoo (spaniel / poodle mix). We decided on a small dog as our winters here are really cold and about 4 months long and it's way too cold for a dog to be outside then and there was no way I was having a big dog bounding around the house with 3 kids in the middle of winter while we were all house bound! He is such an amazing dog and clearly mine - he follows me everywhere and will sit and wait at the front window until I come home! This is a really cute picture of him. He's off to the groomers next week for his summer haircut and he always comes back looking too cute, will have to post another photo of him next week after his pamper session.
