Meet Steel

That's right, Bella bear now has a new little brother.  We picked him up from San Antonio on Friday.  He's an 8 week old Great Dane.  How cute is he?

D and I had the hardest time picking out a name - we are going to be in real trouble if we ever have kiddos.  We were looking into Greek god names, words that pertained to 'huge' {since his daddy is 140lbs}, and D had to look into some game related characters.  We liked Ajax and Orion, but Steel just seemed to fit him given his blue coloring.  Out of the 11 in the litter, he had 3 other brothers and 1 sister still left, but we decided to go with him mostly because he was the most calm.  He also had the most coloring on his belly and some white on his paws as well.

D was sitting on the ground, and the pups were all about him.  The girl was the most nuts and was running and jumping all over the place.  She also welcomed D by jumping and biting his nipple.  Hilarious.

The first thing we did with him was bring him home to see B.  She was SO happy when he got here.  She had the biggest smile I'd ever seen and was running around like a crazy face.  The video is pretty hilarious and ends with the first pee on the carpet by Steel.  We then surprised my parents and brother when we brought him over to their house - Oops, I must have forgotten to tell them we were getting one. :o)  Apollo, my brothers pup, was really good with him as well.  He's small at the moment, but they aren't going to know what to do when he gets big, in about oh... a month.

We already had a beach trip planned, so we brought him along.  He basically was in someone's hands the whole time since he is such a snuggle bug.  Bella loved the beach and playing in the sand.  Here are some great moments from our trip down to Port Aransas.

The dogs were SO excited to play in the water

Our nice little set up - that's right we all fit into Scotty's FJ - all 5 adults 2 dogs and 1 pup.

This is by far my FAVORITE picture from the trip.  B is such a silly head - I love her.

Steel's ears were hilarious in the wind

We spent the rest of the weekend recovering from the trip.  It was a long drive home, but worth it.  We all had such a good time.  I even talked them into stopping at DQ for some much needed soft serve on the way home.  Sunday was great because B and Steel could really play and get to know each other.

B's face is so funny - I placed Steel by her and that lasted for a few minutes.

 Steel loves to bite on her face and jowls and she doesn't even care.  This sums up their time playing together.   

Have to end with the video of them playing as well.  Love these two.
