Three years ago my beautiful black lab died of cancer at the age of twelve. I wrote a post about it a year ago at this time, hoping that our house would soon be big enough again for another. It took a year to finally get my husband on board and find the perfect dog, but last week we did.
Meet Scout.
He's a nine-week-old black lab puppy that we adopted this weekend. He's so smart, so beautiful, and so tiny! And such a joy! His favorite thing to do is crawl into whatever available lap he can find and curl up. I don't remember when I've smiled this much.
So now instead of being buried in the computer, I'm taking long walks, wrangling Christmas lights from tiny jaws, throwing tennis balls, and rubbing tummies. So if I get a little more absent than normal here, you'll know where I am. Sitting on the floor with a soft warm puppy.
He.

ReplyDeleteGlad you found each other and hope you have years of happiness together. :0)
Super cute and I'm not even a pet person.
ReplyDeleteHI SCOUT!
ReplyDeleteAw, puppy love! I am so happy for you and your family!!
Oh my gosh, Heidi, he's the sweetest little thing ever!!!
ReplyDeleteAaaaaaaawww, that's neat. What a cute little guy. If he's a lab puppy, though, aren't you going to be kind of swamped when he grows up?

ahhhhh, my dog is old and just diagnosed with kidney disease. They gave him a year. we lost our other one last year and im sure a new dog heals old wounds :)
ReplyDeleteShelli - I'm so sorry to hear about your dogs... both the one you lost and the one whose end is drawing near. I can totally feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteWe had three years between, but this puppy definitely brings joy into our family. He's not at all a replacement, but he is a great addition.
While the advice was spot on, I just can’t take take Mr. Heidi serious if he looks like he wants to do a magic trick with Patti...
