Puppy Love




We have a new addition to our family :) We met a family yesterday who had ten little puppies (They actually work for AIM Air) and so we decided to take one home with us. The mom was a German Shepherd mix and the dad was a golden retriever mix so we are not quite sure what he will end up looking like. He has shorter hair than any of his brothers or sisters and is also darker than all the others. We thought he was by far the cutest.

It has just been one day and we have already experienced the Joys of raising a puppy. It is going to be a lot of work but we are really excited to have him. I have yet to tell you his name because we really haven't chosen one yet. We have one that we are trying on to see if it fits. If anyone has any suggestions throw them out at us.

He is soooooo cute! Congratulations on your "new addition". I am not good at coming up with names, so I don't have any suggestions. I will just repeat what I am sure Mom will say... don't name the dog brownie!

I think the dog looks a little like Kery in India...She probably had some german sheppard in her too.
My name idea is Liberty.
great pics... love to look at YOU.& Travis...smile..MOM

He is so cute. I hope he hasn't been keeping you up much at nights. The only name I can think of is Chucho. I hope you remember your dog training skills from Max. Mama

So we ended up naming him Macho in case anyone was wandering :) We were originally going to just try to find a guard dog but we ended up with a puppy instead. He might have started out small but we are raising him to be a macho guard dog who will protect the house. He already likes to park at strange thing he comes in contact with or feels threatened by.
