Well, in short, my friend Gwen's dog had given birth to 3 little puppies. I went over to visit and fell in love with them, only to find out they were all spoken for...
A week later, Gwen sent a text to say that my favorite puppy has not been picked up! She asked if I wanted to have him. Hell yea! Whoever didn't pick him up is missing out! This has gotta be the cutest thing alive!
Well, so we went and got the puppy. We've been potty training him (not easy), teaching him to sit (relatively easy) and leaving him in his crate when we're not home (VERY TOUGH!) This little guy has got the saddest whine ever.
To make things worse, we found fleas on him. So we gotta take him to the vet's tomorrow for his first round of shots and to de-flea him. But he has been such a good doggie. He let us give him a bath, and sat so still when we flea-combed him.
Did i mention that his name is Scuffy Nuts Russell III? J had 2 male dogs when he was young. Both were named Scuffy Nuts and Scuffy Nuts Jr. So naturally, this little pup is the third.
As for his Chinese name, we call him Xiao Bao Zi 小包子。He is 1/2 miniature schnauzer, 1/2 boston terrier, also known as a mini boz. We felt 'Boz' sounded very much like 'Bao Zi' in Chinese, which means "Bun", and reminded us of our time in China. So he was thus named.
Here are some pictures we took the first night we brought him home.
Warning: the following pictures may make you melt like butter.
Oh, he is SO CUTE! I can't wait to hear about all your adventures with him :)
ReplyDeleteSO adorable!!! I want a puppy too :)
ReplyDeleteSqueal! I hope the puppy training goes well! Our dog turned 9 years old a couple of weeks ago, but I remember like yesterday when we received him at 8 weeks. The puppy training was exhausting, but so worth it. I am so happy for you. Please keep us updated.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! This makes me so happy, I'm glad you got a puppy for your birthday after all!
