Posted in Wyatt, Dog Park, Lexie at 5:38 am by Robin
Our local dog park, Paw Patch @ Newhall Park in Concord, is closed until March. This weekend we explored two different dog parks in Solano County, Wardlaw Dog Park in Vallejo and Phenix Dog Park @ Benicia Community Park in Benicia. Both were nice parks, but Wadlaw is much bigger and has separate areas for large and small dogs which is really nice. They’re both within about 20 minutes of our home so we should be able to easily visit them on the weekends and during the week.
Wyatt seems to be blossoming. He was a bit shy and standoffish around Lexie when we first brought him home, but now he’s sticking to her like glue. Tonight he actually instigated play with Lex which really surprised and pleased me. Of course Lexie loved it too!
Wyatt even managed to meet a couple of more new Husky friends. This was a father and son team.

Wyatt went in to be neutered on Wednesday and is doing great! Today we took Lexie and Wyatt to Wardlaw Dog Park in Vallejo, California.
Both pups had a great day; they ran like crazy and played with other dogs. Wyatt seems so happy!!
Wyatt modeling a Giant’s bandana I made.
Of course Lexie was having an awesome time too.
What was really neat about the whole experience was how much Lexie and Wyatt played together at the park. They’re still getting used to each other, but today when we were out and about they stuck together like glue.
Of course our afternoon of fun wore out both pups.

Rob and I have been thinking about getting another dog for quite some time. We didn’t want to get another puppy, we wanted a dog a little older than Lexie and we wanted to go through a rescue organization.
I have been watching petfinder.com for months. About a week ago I saw Wyatt and really feel in love. Rob and I decided we would visit the shelter on Saturday, but when I checked petfinder.com on Friday night Wyatt was gone.
We went over to the shelter anyway to look at dogs; we saw a beautiful, black lab mix, but someone was already in line in the process of adopting him. As we were leaving happened to meet a woman by the exit who told us about an adoption event at Pet Food Express. I looked at her sweatshirt and she was wearing a Norsled rescue shirt. My eyes lit up, you see Wyatt is a Siberian Husky. I asked the woman, Elaine, if Norsled had rescued Wyatt and she told me yes and that Wyatt was at Pet Food Express!
Rob, Lexie and I hopped back in the truck and drove over to the adoption event. Sure enough, Wyatt was there; a gorgeous, sweet, boy. We walked Wyatt and Lexie and let them get to know each other. Wyatt came home with us as a “foster” until Wednesday we he gets snipped and we can officially adopt him. He’s really a gentle soul.
Here is Wyatt.

We have been very bad about posting lately. During the holiday season there was a house fire at my mother’s home due to an electrical problem. Thankfully she was staying with us at the time and was not hurt. Unfortunately, about a week after the first fire someone broke into her home and set the house on fire again. It’s been a very sad time for our family, but we’re just thankful that we all have each other.
Lexie is doing great. She really had a blast a Christmas time. She received a wonderful Christmas package with goodies from all of her Labrador friends. Thank you all.
I wanted to share some pictures of her opening her gifts.
This is her opening her beautiful new blanket.
Ohhhhhh, the cookies!
Opening her new toy while laying on her comfy blanket.
Now it’s time for a little rest.
Thank you all so much! Mom loves her bracelet too!
Robin and Lexie
