I am proud to introduce you all to our new furbaby, Hunter. Our pickup went so well; after we bid the breeder goodbye and thank you we headed to a nearby park. We were hoping to get him to drink some water and go potty before we hit the road but he wasn't ready. Of course, we've had him home now for two hours and he still hasn't gone. I may have to get a hold of the breeder to find out what the magic word is. His hair is longer than I thought it would be, so he looks a bit scruffy but oh his face it adorable. At four mos. he weighs almost 8 lbs; the breeder thinks he won't get much bigger because all her males are small but I would like to see a bit more height on him. We even stopped at Petsma*t to get his puppy food that he is used to so I can slowly transition him to the good stuff. Hubby said he was much bigger than he thought he would be, but hopefully that will make the transition easier.
Oh such joy! We are going to let him settle in before we start crate training; his breeder did not use crates except in the car.
Tonight our daughter and her gang will be over with Lily and I know we'll take photos then-so more to come.
Joy to you!
Noreen

Cute puppy! When we brought our Josie home, she didn't pee until the following day. I thought we were going to have to take her to the vet. It took another 3 days to give her a name:)

Oh, he is a beauty. Lucky Hunter and lucky you. I just knew your dog was out there! Enjoy the weekend goes without saying, but Enjoy the Weekend with Hunter!!!
ReplyDeleteHunter is so cute and 4 months is the perfect age! Mom and dad got me when I was 4 months old too and mom says that potty training was almost a breeze - much easier than Molly at 9 weeks.
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots,
Mitch and Molly

That is just the cutest face! I could just smooch it! Congrats on your new "baby"! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome little guy your Hunter is, and what a lucky boy he is to get to go home with you.
ReplyDeleteI guess not going potty is better (for a while at least) than going all over the house. :)
Welcome Hunter. I think you look cute and not scruffy at all. You are going to have a wonderful life with your new family I just know it.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose
Congratulations Noreen! He is just darling...I know you will enjoy him and I am thinking he is going to be one blessed pup!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! Glad you have a new family member. How precious he is.
ReplyDeleteYay!! What a fun day! And what a cutie Hunter is!! He kind of reminds me of a white Cooper {our larger dog}!! The same eyes and nose for sure!
ReplyDeleteOh Nor...I know he will be a wonderful new friend, and I can't wait to hear more about him, and see him grow!!
Have a great weekend!
Love ya lots

Hi Hunter,
ReplyDeleteI peepee every time mom and dad bring me out and I do have my occasional accident too. Mom says that I pee too much for her liking! hehe
Love ya lots,
Molly
He's adorable! I'm so thrilled that everything worked out so well! I'm just so, so happy for you! (Hope he's gone potty by now!)
ReplyDeleteHello Hunter!!! Welcome to Blogville!! You are a cutie!!! Noreen, just a suggestion but if you are going to crate him now is the time to do it. I am so happy for you. It will be hard at first b/c everything is so new to him but things will settle down in a couple of weeks or sooner.
ReplyDeleteGreat smile Hunter.
Congrats Noreen!!
All together now...awwwww!!
ReplyDeleteHe is a cutie and such a lucky pup. Can't wait to see more photos and hear his stories.
P.S. use bells to help with potty training...they WORK!!!
Oh Noreen,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you. After all the research, prayers and consideration I think Hunter has met the perfect family. I wish you all lots and lots of happiness. You certainly deserve it! I'm sure Reggie is looking down and saying "Yes Mom, way to go!"
Sending lotsaluv

I don't know what happened to my google reader, but I stopped receiving your posts - so sad. :(
ReplyDeleteCongrats on Hunter! He looks adorable and I can see similarities to Rocko when he is laying in the grass. Hopefully he is treating you and your family well! I'm sure he's totally spoiled by now! :)
