Tucker and Barrett frolicking in the snow

Here is a video of Barrett and Tucker playing together in the snow. The quality is pretty bad from my phone, but you can see they are having a great time.

Puppy play date

Barrett and Tucker had a puppy play date over Thanksgiving vacation with my son's friend's pit bull puppy . They had a great time all though the puppy was bouncing off the walls. Here are a few pictures of the antics. Barrett is now 11 months old in these pictures.

First Snow

We have had the first accumulating snow of the year this week. Today was actually the second storm. Barrett loves it. He is truely a snow dog. We can't keep him in the house. I took two quick pictures today from my phone so the quality is not the best, but his first birthday is in 10 days so I will definitely take some better ones when we get a nice day.

BARRETT PLAYING WITH THE HOSE

Barrett is 5 1/2 months.  He loves to play with the hose.  Here are a couple of movie clips that show him being his goofy self.

A Walk on the Beach

The kids and I took Barrett and Tucker for a walk on the beach.  They loved it.  It was very cold and foggy out that afternoon so some of the pictures aren't the best quality.  Barrett is 5 months old now and he weighs 59 pounds.  He is growing like a weed.

 

 

I am 4 1/2 months

Hi everyone I am now 4 1/2 months.  I weigh 48 pounds.  Mom took some pictures of me out playing the other day here are a few. 

I am almost as big as Tucker!!

  See how big I am on daddys lap now

I am sitting with my paws politely folded like a good boy

Spring has finally sprung in Maine!!!

YAY!!!! Spring has finally made it to Maine.  I finally got to go for a walk in the woods.  Don't you just love my stylin orange vest.  Mommy made me wear it because she wasn't sure if I would stay close enough, and she said its hard to spot me in the woods.  But I stayed close and I was a very good boy.  

We had so much fun we even marched in unison. 

Mom said she loves this picture of Tucker.  I 

think he just wanted to play peek a boo.

Na Na you can't catch me.  I love keep away, its one of my favorite games.

My first few weeks

Well I think I have settled in here nicely.  I know my new family loves me although it took Tucker a few days to stop ignoring me but finally my charm melted him and now he plays with me.  We like to play tug of war.  I can't wait until the day I can win.  Mommy said my potty training is going ok.  I Haven't pooped in the house in about a week.  Even though my mom takes me out all the time.  I still have pee accidents in the house.  Except at night in my crate I have never had an accident in my crate.  Yesterday I started walking by the door when I am ready to go out I just need to hold it long enough for my mom to slip on her flip flops and grab my leash and grab her sweat shirt which are strategically placed so she can get them quick.  I also have to get that bell thing down hanging from the doorknob, but mommy is confident I will get it soon.  Here are some more pictures of my first few weeks.

Welcome

Hi my name official name is "Zions "Mischievous" 50 Caliber Barrett" aka Barrett.  I was adopted from New Zion Shilohs.  I dont know why my new parents put mischievous in my name because I am a perfect angel.  My daddy named me after his favorite sniper rifle.  Probably because they say I will grow up to be big and powerful. I was born on December 19, 2008.  I am a pup from the Holly/Acer litter.  My new pack is my daddy Kevin and my mommy Shelly my sister Shannon and my Brother Michael and my doggy brother Tucker.  Tucker is very patient with me even when I use his tail and back legs as chew toys, I think he understands I am still a pup so he can't play too rough with me.  He doesn't realize I will be bigger than him in a couple months.  I will try to keep all my extended family and friends updated on my progress as I grow and mommy says she will put up some pictures of me.  Right now we are working on potty training, mommy thinks I almost have it.  She says I am a very smart puppy and once It clicks I will have no problem.  Here are some pictures of me and my family.
