meet dexter. he’s our 12 year old black lab/newfoundland dog. the past few weeks I’ve had multiple people shocked to hear I even have a dog, so I figured I’d update the rest of you who had no clue.

dexter showed up during Lauren’s senior year of high school when he showed up in an inner-tube on a friend’s front porch. we were only supposed to keep him for the week while they were out of town but obviously he stayed. he fits perfect in our family because even when he was a puppy he has always had a very calm demeanor. this picture doesn’t quite do justice to his bear-like resemblance, but he’s huge and so great, except when he slobberly tries to sniff your butt.

I hate not being around these days because dexter is getting old and not doing too well, but love getting to go home and see his cute face.
