Santo

We are proud to announce the newest member of our family … SANTO!

06-24-2011 two

She is a black lab/blue heeler mix. She loves to heard, play, and chew on things.

Please note the name Santo is a tribute to a great Cubs fan and player. Also please note she has White “Socks”.

We picked Santo up last week Sunday from a family who had rescued her and her 2 sisters and brother. She had been dumped in their backyard and the family decided to keep them until they all found good homes. It just so happened that we knew this family and she had the white “socks” we had been looking for!

She has done pretty well so far, only one instance of crying/barking all night. We had a small problem with ticks (we found about 25 total over 2 days) but I think that problem is solved. She also has hook worms at the moment but she took some medication for that and is getting better!

Adam has done a good job training her; she is starting to respond to her name, can walk up and down stairs, she can sit pretty well on command, and she loves to play tug of war.

Oh, and just in case you are wishing you were here to meet/play with Santo…take a look at our 10-day.

weather

Yes that’s right…10 consecutive days of 100 degree temperatures. We will beat the record for hottest ever recorded June in Oklahoma by the time the moth is over.

At least it looks like it won’t rain on 4th of July this year.

Stay tuned for updates! :)
