Towser is a big brother! (Literally... a much bigger brother!)

Meet Raiden!
(Pronounced RYE-den)
He is a mega-mutt (His mother is half Pit, half Beagle/hound/who knows mix... the father is a stray lab mix). He is the result of an accidental litter, but don't worry, his mum is getting spayed ASAP. :) We have another holiday pup, being that Raiden was born on Christmas Eve and Towser is a Halloween pup... at least it'll be near impossible to miss their birthdays!

He is so tiny, and having just gotten Towser out of his puppy stage, its time to raise another! Wish us luck! He is already proving to be very different from Towser.

And we will leave you with...

Hi, handsome big brother Towser! Hi, adorable little brother Raiden! :D

[Bonny]

Congratulations Towser on your cute little brother. You two are going to have a lot of fun together keeping Casper on her toes. :D

Hello Raiden! You made it to a PT home, you are all set -- and now Towser can start teaching all the ways to work da humans for extra food, treats and cuddles! Yay Towser, a play mate!

How exciting for all of you!

What a cutie-pie!!

[lolli94]

He is SO adorable! Congratulations!!!!

[Asiel]

Raiden you have a lot of growing to do if you're to catch up with big brother Towser. You are the cutest little thing I ever did see, didn't know what breed you were until I read about all your ancestors. Guess you don't need a pedigree to be so darn cute. You are totally adorable, wish I could hold you for a bit.

[ramanth]

I am dead from the cute. I just love their expressions in that first photo. And they have matching ears!! :D :love::love::love: Congrats!

[Casper]

Oh my, we didn't expect so many warm welcomes for the little turd! Thanks, you guys. :)

I've just now been able to reply since we are having a few issues with Raiden's health. A trip to the vet yesterday confirmed he has pyoderma (a round of antibiotics should clear it up), which isn't the concern...
He isn't like other puppies. He hardly plays and would rather cuddle and sleep. The vet is concerned more about how he looks. We all agree he is pretty darn cute, but when compared to other puppies in the litter, his head and eyes are pretty large for his body. That all sounds a little superficial, I know.. but something just seems off with him. There are a few other issues I don't have time to post right now (I should be getting ready for work! lol), but mainly its a watch and wait game. We are all very worried about him.
In a week he goes back for blood work to check his kidney function and such. Wish us luck!

Other than that, Towser is taking good care of his little bro. Raiden often wanders into Towser's crate and gets "lost", only to have big bro come to the rescue and show him the way out. Its quite adorable. :love:

[chocolatepuppy]

I hope all is well with Raiden! Please keep us updated!

[cassiesmom]

Big prayers for lil Raiden, I will go light a candle for him right now.

[Karen]

Prayers on the way for wee Raiden! Hopefully with the pyoderma taken care of, he will perk up.

[maid25cats]

Prayers are on the way for that adorable little one
I just want to cuddle him and kiss that cute little face :love:
Towsers adorable too but hes too big to hold in my arms

Just a little update on little Raiden... while his skin condition has improved greatly, and he takes his medicine like a pro, he is still very "slow" and inactive. I can't wait until Wednesday when he gets his bloodwork done. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.

Thank you all for keeping him in your prayers. Please keep the pawsitive thoughts coming, they are much appreciated. :love:

[Karen]

Aww, what an absolutely sweet face! Do give him a kiss from me, and appreciate the puppy smell!

[chocolatepuppy]

Raiden's still in my prayers.

[cassiesmom]

Just checking for an update :love: Will keep praying! Good for you for taking your medicine, Raiden!

[Casper]

Thanks for checking up on the little guy. He is doing loads better. In fact, he is a completely different puppy! No blood work needed, either. I'm just happy to have a healthy puppy. :)
