Name The Puppy
February 6, 2006I told you I would keep you updated on how things are going with our new Boston Terrier puppy, so here's the latest picture. *sigh* I am in grave danger of losing entire days gazing at his photo.
Four Weeks Old
According to the breeder, he weighs about a pound now and is being introduced to solid food. His mother still nurses her babies frequently, though, of course. While he was in a whelping box with his litter mates and his mother in the laundry room up until now, he and his siblings have been moved into the house and are being loved on at any given moment by one of the seven children living there. The puppies are actually in the family's school room and the children are allowed to hold the puppies while they work on their lessons.
We will be travelling to pick up our puppy in about five weeks, but we have still not settled on a name. We have a good idea for a name, but we thought we would see what names our dear readers might have. If you already know what name we are leaning towards, please refrain from announcing it. We really want to hear what other names our readers might come up with. We still wouldn't mind some input from those who know which name we are thinking of. Just don't give it away. We look forward to hearing from you!

I don't know why, but these names just seem to be suitable:
Englebert
Athanasius
Mahershalalhashbaz
Ephraim
Can you see him now?

I think you should name him "Phil".
Sam is going to eat him alive, so...

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Ohhhhhhhhh. Hey, Equuschick, come look at this! Isn't this the cutest thing you ever saw? He's so adorable! Shall we make this one our new screen background? Awwww, ooooh, squeeeeeeee.
Umm, what's that? Were you talking to me? Can I see it now? Don't distract me. I'm cooing at oodles of cuteness.

But, *sighs* they do grow up so fast. Our cute wittle roly-poly puppy wuppy of a year ago is now a 100 lb. slobbering, hyper, black hair/fuzz-ball bunny emitting German Shepherd kid at heart dog, who sends things flying across the room with a single wag of his tail! He's a sweety. Just yesterday, as we were admiring some pups at a pet store, my son was musing over how quickly they do go from pup to full-fledged pooch! EnJOY!
Hey Firefly~
Well, the votes are in... with only a moment's hesitation upon my showing him this cute little guy's pic and asking what his name should be, my 10yos said "Pookie", to which my 7yod grinned a big agreement and said "Yeah, Pookie!" Believe me, she would have said so if she didn't think it fit! LOLSo, you should be getting the little guy any day now? What an exciting time! *fun*fun* We want to get one more dog, that will stay little.;) Dh is thinking, a westie.
Happy puppy world!
