A few weeks back I prattled on at length about why I’d decided to get a dog. The chewed up, slobber-covered ball is in play, as I visited the breeder at her home in Seeley’s Bay tonight and met the proud parents to be, Oscar and Pixie, in person.
Gord, Bonnie and Cousin Norma came along for the ride and we had a lovely time playing with the 6 Boston Terriers on site and meeting Megan and her family. After a quick sock puppet show from the kids we discussed why I wanted one of the next litter. I must have made a good impression because she emailed me later to tell me I was A-OK in their books and was officially on the coveted list. Pixie spent most of the visit sitting on my lap but made the rounds to make sure everyone got a celebratory lick. OK, 272 celebratory licks. She’s a licker.
Oscar is only 7 months old and already poised as Megan’s next big stud. She drove all the way to Michigan to get him and he apparently comes from famous stock as his grandfather was a well known show dog. So basically Shepherd is practically the Frank Sinatra Junior of the dog world and hasn’t even been conceived yet. You can check out more pictures and even a video if you’re so inclined. Damn, it’s going to be a long 4 months.
Pixie is distracted because she couldn’t wait to get back over to lick Gord.
Dave-
I’m so excited for you! When I got my dog (he was 4 months old, from a pound) the first thing he did when I got him home was take a shit in the middle of my living room. All I could think was, “what have I done?” He’s almost 9 now and I can’t imagine my life without him, even though he’s a royal pain in the ass sometimes. No one will ever love you more than your dog and no one will ever be happier to see you. I can’t wait to hear your stories of the joys of puppyhood, especially house breaking. Cheers to you!
Thanks babe. I am coming to Boston on the 19th and am gonna try and get Jim to organize an outing for the Friday night. Probably in Davis square. Make sure you’re there!
OMG I WANT.
Actually, I want a cocker spaniel, but either way, PUPPY.
Sorry, I have a problem 😉
Those dogs are going to *do it*!
I sincerely *hope so*!
I was trying to have that come out like “Fes” says it on That 70’s Show, but I’m not sure if it worked.
