New Family Member Arriving Tomorrow

[Mtndog]

No- I am not giving birth to this fur ball (Richard!) but Patti and Andre wanted the scopp so here it is. We found him Open Original Shared Link

Right now his name is Shiloe, but we are thinking about:

Keeping that name

Orion (our favorite constellation)

Bodhi (short for Bodhisattva which are enlightened beings that chose to stay on earth to help others)

Brubeck (for Dave Brubeck, my favorite jazz piano player)

Beck (cuause we think Beck is cool.... click Open Original Shared Link

Any other cool suggestions welcome!

I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats...it's so fun to get a new puppy (aside from the pee and poo). I have 3 of my own...1 lab and 2 gordon setter puppies...

[jerseyangel]

Oh Bev, he sounds great! I would be so excited, too

Of all the names you listed, he looks most like a Bodhi to me--plus I like the description Shiloe is nice, too. Maybe he's already used to it?

You'll have to keep us posted on the little one.

( Beck--people often tell my older son he looks like him! I think he looks more like Seth Green, but what do I know, I'm just the mom )

[AndreaB]

Boy, I had to go through all the work of finding a new thread.

I found it! Obviously, huh.

Love your new little puppy Bev.

I like the name Shiloe as well as Orion. That's just me though.

You'll have to be sure to post many picture updates, since they grow so fast.

I'm so glad you are able to get a puppy, even though you are still dreaming of a bernese.

[Lisa]

How adorable!!!

B: How about "Mojo Twist"

[blueeyedmanda]

He is adorable, I really like the name Shiloe, he is too cute!

[DingoGirl]

OHHHHHHHHHHHH he is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!! Just the sweetest little bundle of fur. I like Shiloe, but I am sure you'll come up with something perfect once you meet him if that's not right. I changed Tika's name about 10 times - - and she still gets called many things - and she should ahve been named Sassy.

BTW my brother's dog is named Mojo.

I am so excited for you!!!!

Um, both my dogs were house-trained almost instantly from the instructions in this great book I used - The Art of Raising a Puppy by the Monks of New Skete (they raise prized German Shepards). In case you need any good tips.

Stinker and Annie are SO excited for you also.

[Yenni]

Oh, so cute! We have a rescue puppy too. Well she is 2½ now. She is a german shepherd/lab mix.

I like the name Bodhi.

[mommida]

How cute!!!!

Good luck with training your little fur ball!

Hide your expensive shoes!

[jerseyangel]

Congrats! I am adopting a 3-year-old cat named Butch (I will change his name to Spats, the late beloved cat of one of my best friends0>

When I saw your new addition, I thought he looked like a Morrie!

Have fun! I really believe that pets are God's way of saving that He loves us in spite of us!

[Lisa]

Bev:

What is the status of your new pup? Gotta know!

[Mtndog]

Oh my gosh- I was so bummed I couldn't log on last night! I wanted to post so bad but it was down. He's doing great!

i, on the other hand, am exhausted!

We brought him home yesterday afternnon and he was shaking like a leaf. Got better as the day went on. last night I slept on the floor next to his crate! He was really good tough...not a peep (or a pee ) and we went out at 11, 1:30, 4:30, 6:30. I then passed out on the couch until 9.

Had to go up to school today to pick up some paperwork so Angus came with. He was great in the car. Shy around the office staff.

We went over the house of one of my committee members because she was dying to meet him. He LOVED her dogs (she has a yellow lab and a Newfie/golden mix with a head like a bulldozer but SUPER sweet). He was all over them and their tails were wagging like mad! He curled up with one of her dogs on the couch and took a nap.

He's had about 5 accidents so far which isn't bad considering we're crate and house training. He's even been nice to the cats.

He's a little suspicious of guys though. MUCH prefers me to Kurt and was afraid of another one of my professors who is male. Kurt's kind of bummed out. Me too. But hopefully he'll come around.

[jaten]

Oh, Bev!!!! He's adorable, and will be such a handsome big fella

I'm really super happy for you. So is Angus the name? I like that a LOT. What a great name, and he looks like an Angus....Haines thinks so, too!

Enjoy, and one day he'll be house-broken, and one year he'll be beyond the chewing stage, and you'll be glad you stuck with him because he'll stick with you and be the perfect fit for your home.

[Mtndog]

Haines is so beautiful (not after Haines Alaska is he or did I already ask you that?). I wish you lived closer so our pups could play and we could compare gall bladder (lack thereof!) stories.

[lonewolf]

Congrats! He's adorable! Hang in there with the long nights - they'll get better. I can't count how many times I got up with Buddy at night during the first 6 weeks, then it got better. He's now 5 months and sleeps for 8-81/2 hours every night with no accidents!

[jaten]

Haines is so beautiful (not after Haines Alaska is he or did I already ask you that?).

Thank you, and yes for Haines, AK. Hubby and I took an Alaskan cruise a few years ago. A few months later we adopted a very loving shelter dog...ta daaaa.....Haines!

I wish you lived closer so our pups could play and we could compare gall bladder (lack thereof!) stories.

That would be so grand! Speaking of absent gall bladders, the euphoria was THE BEST I still haven't figured that one out

[Mtndog]

Haines AK is so beautiful- I was there in the summer of 2001. Stunning (like your doggie).

i know I miss my gall bladder less euphoria- drugs? :D :D

[jesscarmel]

congrats! we also adopted our new pup on petfinder and just love her. we were just away for a week and i couldnt bear being away from our baby!!
