Say Hello To Sawyer.

Our family has expanded by one. We welcomed Sawyer, a Boston terrier/French bulldog cross puppy after a friend got in over her head on an impulse purchase. It's sad for her, but our world, and mine in particular, has become so much the sweeter because of Sawyer.

Nobody will ever replace MacKenzie in my heart, but this boy is a happy, healthy, loving little ray of sunshine who brings smiles to the faces of everyone he meets. He's cute, that's true, but it's his temperament that makes him such a pleasure.....he wakes up full of joie de vivre and spends his days running, jumping, playing and cuddling. He goes full out and then crashes, a typical baby.

Sawyer is doing well with his raw diet. Chicken legs are a favourite. Bully sticks and Kong toys are a hit, as is his hide-a-squirrel.

Deputy Dawg gets to come to work with me on days that I'm not in court or meetings. That makes the bonding process so much easier, and Sawyer has made a bagillion friends. He's a social little creature, a very special, loving little soul who has made the process of beginning to heal from the heartbreaking, premature loss of my Kenzie dog just a little bit easier.
