Oliver has a friend!

Sadly, Allie's first puppy, Bentley, had a serious disease and he had to be put to sleep on my birthday. We were all obviously heartbroken by this, but it was very clear that he was incredibly sick and there wasn't anything that could be done.

Since then, on a much happier note, Allie has gotten another adorable little guy, Baxter. Mom was babysitting Baxter on Saturday and she brought him by to briefly meet Oliver.

Baxter and Oliver

I have never seen Oliver so happy! Baxter was super playful and they had a great time chasing each other around. Both of their tails were wagging at a speed I've never seen. I'm convinced they are already BFF. They were supposed to get to hang out tonight, but Oliver's sickness obviously prevented that.

I know Oliver can't wait to play with his new cousin again!
