Sir Baxter DeMann

This weekend, Devin and I expanded our little family! We went from 3 to 4! 2 of us have 2 legs and 2 of us have 4 legs!! We adopted Baxter from the Humane Society of Utah on Saturday and we already love him so much!! Because we got him Saturday, I had to miss the BYU game(so sad!)
He was a transfer dog from California, which means the knew next to nothing about him. They told us he is a Lhaso Apso mix, but I don't think he looks like a Lhaso. We're pretty sure there is Pomeranian in him and that is why he is so fluffy!! We're working on potty training because we don't know how much he knows! We're working through his kennel cough right now, but he is a champ and it doesn't seem to bother him. He is warming up to the house and tried to play with Bella this morning, she didn't like that...we are working with her on being nice. She just seems really confused on why there is another dog around. He hasn't liked any treat we've tried giving him, which is weird, cause Bella thinks anything is a treat! So we hide his medication in turkey sandwich meat and pepperoni cause he has no interest in the pill pocket treats we got. He knows how to sit when commanded, which is a good sign! He is 9 months old and weighs 9 lbs.

  2. I like him a lot, especially when he dives head first into Josh'd cushion. I agree with the pomerian and terrier mix.
