Rowdy

 We welcomed Rowdy, a wonderful 8-week old, 12-pound boxer puppy, into McGuirk family on Friday.  He's a little cutie.

He spent some time getting used to things, but he quickly settled in despite the presence of the 100-pound rottie.

He's a feisty little guy.  When he first met Barkley, he chased her all around the house, and she was not pleased.  She was actually afraid of the little guy.  However, Barkley seems to have figured out he again has a playmate in the house, albeit a rather small one.

Here is a cute one of the two of them playing outside.

Finally, here is a sweet one of the little fellow zonked out.

I'm sure we will have many more videos of Barkley and Rowdy playing as he grows into the family.  We will probably have a couple months of house-breaking, but that goes with having a puppy.  I look forward to a few weeks when he's big enough where he can't escape from the backyard. Pleasant week to all.
