Is There Anything Better?

Than Puppy Breath?
I picked him up yesterday.
The whole drive home I couldn't stop thinking about my English Bulldog "Angus".
Angus has been gone to doggie heaven for 4 years now.

Those big eyes,
That schmooshed-in nose,
The loud snore while he slept.
This puppy has so many of the same characteristics!

You sent in so many great suggestions for names!
We had narrowed it down to Rufus & Guido.
We were gonna wait to see his personality before we decided for sure.

After meeting him, we just knew his name!
Gus! He is a Gus!

Otis the Wonder Dog
is amused by his new playmate...
Until Gus tried to nurse.
oops!


This is the adorable position that you are most likely to find Gus.
He is NOT used to hardwood floors!
His front feet sprawl apart and he pushes himself around with his back legs.
He kinda looks like he is skiing!
Too Cute!!

I'm gonna try to get a video of the little goof floor-skiing today.
Until then, I'm drunk on puppy breath!

    Yeah, puppy breath was lovely...compared to our dog's current breath after eating chicken poop. :P

    Happy puppy days!

    I think puppy breath is God's way of making us fall in love... before they start smelling like the latest roadkill they rolled in!

    We used to have a liver spot Dalmation and his greatest joy in life was eating and rolling in road-kill skunks! We would give him a bath and he would end up smelling half-way presentable, but then he would... fart! GAAAAAAAAAG!!!

    Cutest thing I ever saw! My son has an English Bull named Winnie. She is a snorer as well and hates hardwood floors. If a dog can tiptoe, I think that's the only way to describe how Winnie gets across the hardwood! LOL

    Aww he is so cute and Gus is a perfect name. We didn't get our Pug until she was 10 months old so I missed that puppy stage.
