Puppy Breath

Ever since we lost Bubba our Millie just hasn't been herself. She seems to me like she is depressed, she has been sleeping a lot more, has lost her spunk & has become real clingy. Perhaps it is due to her old age but I think it is because she really misses Bubba & his companionship.

We had tossed around the idea of when would be the best time to get another dog for awhile now & were unsure if getting one now is better or waiting until the spring would be best. Besides I just didn't think my heart was quite ready to get another dog. 

But a few weeks ago Shane had to go & show me pics of 5 week old bulldog puppies that were for sale & he talked me into going to "look" at them.

Well....you know what happens when you just LOOK, right? Especially with Bulldog puppies? It has happened to us twice before so I knew "just looking" meant we were going to end up leaving with a deposit on a puppy.

 

So we made the drive about 75 miles south of us to "see" the puppies & just as I had suspected, as soon as we saw them we knew we were going to be picking one. Bulldog puppies are the most adorable little things. Ugh just look at that sweet face...

And that puppy breath. Yep - I was suckered again. We ended up picking this little guy a few weeks ago as the newest addition to our family & he got to come home with us today. Just in time for Shane's birthday next week :)

We drove down early this morning to pick him up & Mase was SO excited to be bringing him home. He rode in my lap all the way back & actually slept the entire drive home.

When we got home we introduced him to Millie out in the backyard on neutral ground & she was super observant of him for awhile. As she watched him she slowly started to warm up to him a bit. She had to tell him who was "boss" a few times by nipping him & he learned real quick you don't mess with Millie.

By the end of the day they were becoming fast friends...

Mason was in heaven with the new puppy & wanted to sleep in his little area with him....that is until the puppy would start biting his ears or tugging on his shirt.

 

I would say our little pup is getting used to his new place & is one spoiled little guy! He has no idea how good he is going to have it here :)

 



 

Oh & we finally decided on his name....Winston :)

Turns out my heart does have room to love another one after all!
