With the New Year rolling in it brings more opportunities and choices to make in our lives. Hopefully 2010 will be a year for most everyone to remember as a joyous and prosperous one. This would entail drastic changes for the better being made in our society and not much of a chance of that happening; however I’m still hopeful that it could.
Since moving out here to Toek’s Place my wife and I decided that we would eventually get a dog. Well, over the holidays an opportunity presented itself to us to adopt a Boxer puppy. So we did. Tyson is his name; he’s 12 weeks old and pretty spunky.

The Boxer is the #6 dog breed(2007 AKC) in popularity in America. If you are familiar with the breed that should come as no surprise. Boxer’s are intelligent, loyal and determined among other positive traits. Here’s a little background information on them here > Boxer Breed Info.
I’m looking forward to watching Tyson grow up and boxer’s make such wonderful family pets, it will be a treat for everyone here at Toek’s Place.
Some other excitement we’ve had here, just last night actually, New Years Eve, my wife and I and the two kids were in the living room just standing / sitting around talking when “something” just flew across the room. Well, before it made a second round I saw what it was,… a bat! Cheez and rice! I couldn’t believe it. It flew out of the Christmas tree, around the room a couple of times and after a few minutes of searching for it, found it clinging to a shopping bag hanging on the front door. Meanwhile the wife is getting really upset that I wasn’t taking action fast enough. Her and the kids had all put on hoodies and hats, it was a funny site. So my wife had the camera out but wouldn’t get close enough to get a good picture. I got the camera and got a little closer and snapped one off.
Anyway after taking the picture and my wife all wiggy, I carefully picked the bag off of the doorknob, opened the door and set it outside the front door. We still haven’t figured out how it got in the house???
Maybe it’s a good sign to clear bats out of your house on New Years Eve, I hope so.
Have a great new year everyone!
