Boomer- the new love of our life!

Boomer has made it into our family.  Boomer was the guide dog puppy we sponsored two puppies ago and did not make it as a guide or service dog.  He arrived Feb 14th and immediately made it into became a part of our pack.  Sophie loves him and they play together all day long.  Danny loves him too but doesn’t care as much as Sophie does.  I know how crazy all this sounds but having a third dog really is so much fun!   Boomer loves his tennis balls ( Danny’s old ones) and he loves my chintz chair.  This picture was from a recent photo shoot and shows how relaxed he is!
