Thank you for the puppy dust!!!!!!

[princesss]

A few weeks ago I asked for puppy dust for BF. Well, it helped, and it happened just like everybody said it would!

BF had given up actively searching, and yesterday he got a text from a woman that fosters animals for our local Animal Control. She had 3 Boxer males up for adoption, so she wanted to see if he was still interested. We went today and BF found his dog.

We went straight to the vet as BF lives in a house with two other dogs, and wanted to make sure he was bringing a healthy dog home. The vet gave him a clean bill of health and said that everything looks good, so he''s home!

The camera died, so I have no pics yet, but I promise an abundance will come very, very soon! He''s had a bath, and is napping on his new bed while we put the crate together. He''s tentatively named Samson, but that is subject to change as we see more of his personality come out.

So thank you all SO MUCH! I can''t wait to show him to you guys!

 

[Definitely. Maybe]

That is such a cute name! I hope he keeps it!

Get that camera charged up soon so we can see pics of your BFs new puppy!

[WishfulThinking]

SO EXCITING!!!! Definitely post pictures when you get a chance. I bet he is adorable.

Awww I love boxers! My fiance made me love them because he grew up with them! Can''t wait for pics!

P.S. Samson is an adorable name!

 

[Skippy123]

Oh that is great news!!!

 

[Honey228]

Yay, good for him! It sounds like he''s going to be a great puppy daddy.

I can''t wait for pics. I love boxers! How old is Samson? There was a boxer puppy in our neighborhood and she made me laugh because she was fearless about playing with my dog who''s three times her size.

 

[princesss]

Okay, I''m going to add in some of the names under consideration right now.

So...

Samson

 

[princesss]

Orwell?

Brutus?

haha love this picture!!! Sammy? hehe

 

[gemgirl]

I am such a sucker for pink paws and pink bellies, and I love love love the smell of puppies! He''s beautiful! or ahem...... handsome

How about Mackenzie, so you can call him "Mac" when he''s big and strong and muscular?

 

[mochi]

Oh.... such a smooshie face!! I have two boxers (Vicki and Max). They are such wonderful breed. He''s so lucky to have a loving mommy!

 

[Haven]

Be.
Still.
My.
Heart.
!!!!!!!!

He is gorgeous! Congratulations! I''m sure you''ll all bring each other years of companionship and love.

He looks like an Arlo to me.

 

[CJ2008]

OMG he is GORGEOUS! What a cutie pie!

I like Brutus...

 

[Heidi137]

How adorable! What about Moose, Winston, Tyson or Scout?

 

[WishfulThinking]

OH MY GOSH!! He is so precious!

I am in love.

I am partial to Locke...

The names and corresponding pictures cracked me up. You should catch one of him gnashing his little teeth and caption it "Nietzsche."

 

[iheartscience]

Um, ADORABLE!!!!! Wow, he is too cute for words. I still like Samson, I think!

 

[princesss]

Oooh, I like Scout!

My mom added Dante to the list, too.

I really can''t get over how much this dog is already winning me over. I always knew that BF needed a dog to really be *complete*, and watching him at the vet was the most amazing thing. He was this nervous, happy, worried, excited person that I''ve never really seen before. It was the most incredible side to him. I just couldn''t believe how lucky I am to have such a wonderful, loving person in my life, and I know that this is the luckiest dog in North Carolina.

Okay...more pictures!

 

[princesss]

Hmmm....

Scout?

 

[princesss]

Dante?

 

[princesss]

And this is his crate. It''s being borrowed, but it''s definitely got, ummmm....room to grow! Haha

 

[princesss]

Okay, apparently Samson and Dante are out. Samson won''t work because we have a friend who has a dog named Sammy, and BF has a friend named Dante. So those are on the nix list.

 

[Definitely. Maybe]

No help with the names. I like them all.

That crate is HUGE!! I didn''t even know they made them that big. I am in shock. lol

Those pictures are the cutest! I can understand how he won you over with those sweet eyes.
