Weekend of Boomer

Well our weekend was all about Boomer, plus basketball!
Friday night - Kayson went to a birthday party, while the rest of us stayed home and played with Boomer.  Got him situated... and somewhat comfortable.  It was a very emotional evening - not like sad, but just a lot going on and trying to make sure Boomer was happy, etc.  

Unfortunately, Boomer HATES the kennel.  Like bad.  It was his first night here, so we get it, but praying it gets better...  so he slept from about 11pm til about 4am...  then was up, and anytime he went back into the kennel, he screamed like crazy!  Screamed - howled - barked - whined!  And he's loud, so he would have woke the whole house... so there I went to the basement with him and he and I slept on the couch!  Oh boy.  

Saturday - 
I was tired.  Like that over stimulated tired (like a baby!)  ha.  
We went out to PetSmart (all of us) got a few toys for him and a few other things, so that was fun.  Most of the day was spent fussing over Boomer.  

Saturday night we had basketball... this was a pick up tournament, and we played at night.  So weird being there at night.  Boomer hated being in his kennel, and I'm 100% certain, he cried the entire time.  Felt so bad.  

Anyway, basketball was ok...  won 1, lost 1... the team struggled a bit.  K had some serious turnovers, which is frustrating...  but oh well.  We got home about 8:10.  Tired family.

Sunday - 
Boomer did better Saturday night...  still cried a lot at first, but ended up not waking til about 6am. But regardless, it's exhausting!  What have we done?!?!  ha. 

We were up early to start our Sunday game(s), and unfortunately, our game ended in a loss, so we were then done.  Disappointing.  So we ran home, and were able to get out to church for service.  So that was nice. 

The rest of the day was, again, Boomer...  and he really gave us a run for our money!!  While we were at church, he chewed/tore through his kennel - and escaped.  WTH!!!  We got home, and he greeted us in the kitchen!  We were shocked!!!  So a metal kennel was purchased pretty much instantly.  And he still hates that one!  We tried having him 'rest' in there, and he literally cried for over an hour!  WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!!??

Anyway,  it was a busy weekend...  but also really enjoyable.  Boomer has definitely brought a different kind of joy to us, and I love him already... even if I am mad at him!!
