Well, there’s a puppy in the house. He was a decision made during the summer and wasn’t technically arriving until after the cruise, but the long story short is that life changes and so he arrived last night.
Due to BH’s and middle BD’s allergies, he is another schnoodle (they are hypoallergenic and don’t cause the previous two to sneeze and wheeze) and of course, he’s as cute as a button.
We’ve named him Remy. His middle name is Tumu, which means “deer thinking about eating wild onions.” We all thought having a name with such a literal translation was hilarious (it was late–we were giddy–we were tired–we’re freaks…what can I say? 😉 )
The big dog, Rio, is angry and would have nothing to do with him at first, but is now showing some signs of coming around. Definitely, there is indifference in his attitude, but it’s an “out of the corner of his eye” indifference and there is the occasional tail wag on his part, so I know things will work out.
Eventually.
In the meantime though, Rio is getting more love than ever as we go out of our way to make sure he’s not ignored what with Remy, the fluffball, being so adorable.
So…interrupted sleep, busy days (he pees ALOT!), high squeaky voices as we “puppy talk” and general mayhem–such is our life at the moment. It’s all good though…there’s a puppy in the house!
Everyone is getting puppies! So cute. Jamie fell in love with a Cockerpoo in Petland yesterday and I have been trolling the shelters. But right now isn’t a good time. Sigh. Having great vicarious moments though. So cool. Gorgeous! Good luck Meretta 🙂
Thanks, Toni!
I completely understand about the timing. It is everything!
And when the time is right, you are so good to use a shelter. We have for our GPs, but unfortunately in dogs we have to go with tried and true due to allergies. I really do hate the idea of paying a breeder when there are so many dogs in the shelters needing homes though.
Soooooo cute!!!!!! Love that new puppy smell (well, not the pee part). Rio will probably enjoy being “big brother” and show Remy the ropes 😉
Congrats and have fun!
Thanks, Cathy. 🙂
And yes, am hoping Rio will go “big brother” and get over his indignation soon. He is feeling a little better today and even attempted to join in on the fetch game when we playing with the little guy, so there is hope lingering on the horizon.
