Hi there,It’s been over 6 weeks since Butch came home with us. He is officially potty trained! Whooo! He is super cuddly and sweet. He’s quite vocal and likes to talk to us when it’s time for his breakfast and dinner. Butch may be the first lab who doesn’t like water! It’s not just baths. We’ve done a lot of hiking and he won’t go into lakes, ponds, or creeks either. We will keep exploring and working on that one. Butch is a quick learner. We have the dogs sit and pray before they eat and he now eagerly awaits the big “Amen!” at the end of the prayer. Butch LOVES toys. All toys. Every toy.Butch and Luna get along very well. They can be found cuddling around the house for naps which warms our hearts. Butch loves people. He really wants to meet new friends. Butch loves our children. He likes to give Isaiah kisses. Butch loves playing catch with Willow. She is the ONLY person he will “drop it” for. He seems to understand that she’s little and he really loves to play with her. When daddy and I try to get the ball he seems to *forget* what “drop it” means. Haha! Butch enjoyed our first family vacation last week. We went to the campground that Lou and I were married on. We fished and hiked and explored a ton! Butch loved having his grandma and grandpa with us and enjoyed lots of extra attention. Here’s our new family photo from our favorite camp. We hope to have many years of wonderful adventures with our Butch! Thanks for helping us find him. ... See MoreSee Less
