NEW ADDITION! Please welcome.... *HANK* ((UPDATED Pictures: #66))

[CountryWolf07]

Buster, a Beagle mix, and he is 7 1/2 weeks old. :) But his name will be changed, to we do not know what name.. possibly Riley or Colby, like I said, still up in the air.

We don't know what he is mixed with, any ideas?? He has a unique coloring on him.

I am crying right now. Rosie did send this little guy to us.. and we are going to love him and spoil him. I cannot wait to see him when I come home soon.

Here is his picture: (I promise, more pictures will be coming soon)

[gardengirl]

Congrats! What a cutie. I don't know what mix he is, but he does look mostly beagle. You're going to have lots of fun!

[Taz_Zoee]

Hey, I just posted in the other thread and then this one popped up! LOL
OMG, he is adorable!!! I have no idea what he might be mixed with, but obviously what ever breed it is that's where the brindle coloring comes from. His face looks a lot like just beagle though.
Oh, I bet you can't wait to get home to meet him!! I can't wait either, because then we'll get to see more pictures of him and Anna!! :)

[Cinder & Smoke]

THANKS, Rosie!! ;)

Buster/no name ought to do just Phine.
You weren't just a tad bit *biased* on the breed you sent, were you? :)

So where did Buster come from?

[CountryWolf07]

THANKS, Rosie!! ;)

Buster/no name ought to do just Phine.
You weren't just a tad bit *biased* on the breed you sent, were you? :)

So where did Buster come from?

Buster came from the Cleveland Animal Shelter. :) Ha, no, but I am pretty sure Rosie sent him to us! Otherwise, we were set on adopting Sherman, a retriever/hound mix, but he was already adopted.. and Dad just fell in love with the little guy and told us that he was bringing him home.

[pomtzu]

Aawww!!! What a sweet little guy. I'm sure Rosie had a paw in this selection - she did good!!! :love: He does look mostly beagle - and I think "Colby" fits that face perfectly. I'm sure he'll bring many years of happiness to all!
Congrats!!! :)

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I'm terrible with breed guesses, but congratulations! He's adorable. :)

[Husky_mom]

OMG!!.. super cute pup!!.. if not for the brindle he looks all Beagle...

hope to get to see many many more pics of him.. he is super cute...sorry but I had to say that again...just look at that face...awwwww

ETA: I just saw a beagle dachshund mix and it was brindle... looked all Beagle but a looong body...maybe "Buster" only took the coloring

[Husky_mom]

ok.. so excited here I kept looking and found this

[Ginger's Mom]

Adorable. :) Good job, Rosie. :love:

[husky 1]

:love::love: What a gorgeous baby.

[finn's mom]

Lovely boy. :)

[lvpets2002]

:love: Awee this baby is a wittle Cutie Pie.. Any name will fit this baby..

[CountryWolf07]

So, we are currently debating on:

Riley, Hank, Charlie, Marley, and of course, maybe keep his name?

Hank, don't ask me why... it's all behind a funny joke.

[boomersooner]

He is a real cutie pie!!! I like all of those names....I'm sure there will be lots of Marleys when the movie comes out....Hank.....Like it.....just like Hank the Cowdog (can you tell I'm an elementary school librarian!) He is a doll!!!

Anna has not been paying attention to him right now, she just watches him walk/run around.. she is not happy.. but hopefully she'll get around and realize that he's at home to stay.

I am starting to think he could be part Boxer... but it's too soon to tell.

[wolf_Q]

Wow he is ADORABLE!! I love the brindle coloring! :D AWWW congratulations, can't wait to see more of him!

[CountryWolf07]

Wow he is ADORABLE!! I love the brindle coloring! :D AWWW congratulations, can't wait to see more of him!

I'm pretty sure Rosie had a paw in this. I wanted a dog that had unique markings.. My parents think he is ALL beagle.. Interesting!

[Husky_mom]

from the recent pics.. in the second I saw Boxer too!!

he´s just so cute!!.. and as many know here I have a soft spot for brindle buddies....;)

[ramanth]

Congrats! He's a cutie. :)

[Daisy and Delilah]

Awwwwww!!! You've done a great job, Rosie Girl!! What a sweet little man he is, Rachel. Welcome to Pet Talk Little Guy!!:)

Congratulations--I can't wait to see more of him.:D

[4 Dog Mother]

What a cutie!!! Your dad and Rosie did good! He is so adorable. I think maybe boxer too! Whatever you decide to name him will be just perfect for him!

[CountryWolf07]

He offically has a name, and it is Hank! :)

[Husky_mom]

He offically has a name, and it is Hank! :)


Hank the hunk... that´s for sure :D

[Taz_Zoee]

Well, here's your official Welcome to PT, Hank!! :D :D

[kfitzp1]

Hey what about Bringle? Okay I am not very creative. What a cutie, I am so happy for your family!

[Husky_mom]

I can´t get over his cuteness.. :D

he looks so tiny next to Anna.. aww.... they shoudl get along just fine in no time

[Suki Wingy]

Aw! He's incredibly cute! He looks like a Hank.

[wolf_Q]

I think Hank is a very fitting name! He is SO cute! He really does just look like a brindle beagle I think...you'll have to just see what he looks like when he grows though.

[CountryWolf07]

I never thought that type of coat would exist on a Beagle, but hey, we'll see what he looks like in 2-3 months! :)

Thank you everyone! I am so happy, I feel at peace, and just knowing we have this new boy in our home will be great!

[cassiesmom]

Hello, "Hank the Hunk", cutie! (thank you Rosie :love:)

[molucass]

He is sooo cute! Congratulations on the new little man.

In the most recent pictures you posted, I think he looks too small to be mixed with Boxer. Who knows, though?

He really is an adorable little guy.

[lute]

He is adorable!!! WELCOME to PT Hank...or whatever name you end up keeping!

[cyber-sibes]

*waves* Hi there, Hank! Oh my gosh, what a sweet face! He's really cute, Rosie did good! I knew he was little, but in the pic of him next to Anna you can tell how very small he is. :D What a cutie pie. Pets to Anna & Hank, congratulations to your family.

[shais_mom]

omg! he's adorable! :D

[chocolatepuppy]

Welcome Hank! You're adorable!:D

[boomersooner]

Welcome, Hank!!! You are just too cute for words...I LOVE your little freckled tummy!!!! We'll figure out what you are when you grow into everything but for right now, you are a sweet, lucky, little boy dog!!!

[Daisy and Delilah]

You're so right, Isabelle!!! What a little sweetheart!! I love the name Hank.:)

[luvofallhorses]

He's adorable! :love: I have seen brindle beagles before. Congratulations! :)

[CountryWolf07]

Two pictures of Hank tonight.. before bed time. :)

http://photos-e.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v361/87/67/12449168/n12449168_44876060_3384.jpg

then a few minutes later..

http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v361/87/67/12449168/n12449168_44876153_3828.jpg


My parents have learned that Hank has a GREAT temperament and he is one SMART puppy..

[IRescue452]

He so cute. I think he's purebred. Beagles come in EVERY color you could see in a dog breed. We seem to have a breeder in our area that likes to tinker with the more uncommon beagle colors. My favorite is the heavily spotted bluetick.

[Cinder & Smoke]

:confused:

"BEFORE" bed time ??

http://photos-e.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v361/87/67/12449168/n12449168_44876060_3384.jpg:confused:

"BEFORE" bed time ???

No, I think Hank is IN bed!

:D

[finn's mom]

He's beautiful. I like the name you chose. :D

[CountryWolf07]

Thank you everyone! "Hank" just was a inside joke, between my mom, her friend and I. We were talking about how someone named a dog, "Hank", and it just didn't seem like a dog name that's fitting, but somehow it just ended up as the RIGHT name for this little guy! Funny, huh? It turned out to be the name that was supposed to be his all along. I just know, when I get unhappy with him, I will have a full name for him, and it's "Hank Williams Counts!" Haha ;)

Most likely, I hope to see him next weekend when my parents bring him down, so we can see him. I would LOVE to watch him and play with him... so cross your fingers!! Hopefully.. so I could have new pictures, I mean, TONS of new pictures! ;) ALSO, I told my mom/dad to send me MORE pictures today.

IRescue452, that is really interesting. We'll have to see as Hank gets older. His body is really low, but long. He has long ears, and it seems possible he could be a Basset, mix along too with Boxer, but again, it's fun guessing what he is! Whatever he is, he's just a cute boy!

I just feel so happy and it just feels so right having him in our home. He's the perfect addition. He seems to have a great temperament, he's so curious about everything, so he's always on the run and walking around. He is already making himself at home already. My mom said that he started sitting at the same spot Rosie used to sit in the kitchen, already looking for food? I laughed because that's all Rosie ever did. Also, when my mom came home from her friend's house, what did Hank do?? He came running to greet her! :)

Anna is still ignoring him, she seems to be in her little world right now, lost and lonely. So I still don't know what she thinks of Hank, but it's interesting. She has NO interest in Hank, and Hank has no interest in Anna. I found that odd. On another note, she may be developing dementia, and she is taking medications for it. Her legs are starting to be stiff so it takes her a while to get up and lay down. She has slowed down A LOT the past year. She's becoming my old lady.. it makes me sad, but I'm so thankful. She's a great girl. Hopefully she will come around and at least appreciate Hank!

More later! ;)

[critter crazy]

Hank is adorable!! Congrats!!:)

[4 Dog Mother]

Hank is just the sweetest little guy! He is so adorable!!!! The last pictures of your mom with Hank reminds me of when Tucker was a baby. He used to fall asleep in the weirdest positions. I have pictures of Kay with him wrapped around her neck like a scarf or something. Puppies are just too cute! Have you been able to smell puppy breath from all those pictures?

It is sad to see Anna slowing down. I don't think their reaction to each other is all that unusual considering their ages. Although it will be interesting to see how long it takes Hank to start bothering her trying to get her to play. Oreo acted like a really old lady when we started to add to our family of pups. The more pups we got the younger she got. She could barely get around when we got Taggert but taking them all to the dogpark and having someone to annoy her seemed to give her a new lease on life. I sometimes wonder if she would have lived the extra couple of years if it had not been for the pups. She never "bonded" with any of them but they certainly made her last years interesting!

[IRescue452]

I just thought of something. Hybrid breeders who combine boston terriers with bassets or beagles love using brindle. Most that I've seen are brindle and most that I've seen look 99% like the hound part of their family. Come to think of it, brindle might just be the dominant color that comes from those crossings. Maybe he's got boston terrier in him.

Here is the beagle/boston terrier mix dog of the day from May 17, 2001

More later. ;)

[CountryWolf07]

Wow.. I wonder? That's pretty cool, I had no idea about that. Interesting!!! :)

I believe you're correct, actually.. he is half Beagle, half Boston Terrier.. and I didn't even know there was a name for that hybrid breed - "Boglen Terrier".. who cares, though.. right? He's just a unique mutt to me. :)

Thanks for sharing!

Cute as a button! Congratulations, I like the name Hank for him. I hope he lives a GREAT life with you guys :)

[Ginger's Mom]

LOL at the newest pics. It looks like little Hank has just moved right in and made himself right at home, hasn't he? :D

[CountryWolf07]

Pretty much!! :D

He is really smart, and he's doing well on housebreaking - Hopefully in a couple weeks, he will be housebroken. :)

[WELOVESPUPPIES]

OMGosh!! Congradulations to you, your family and Anna. He is absolutely precious. I think he really does look like the DOD Beagle/Boston mix. What a sweetheart. I bet you are so excited to see him. Give him lots of kisses from me too would you?

[CountryWolf07]

Two pics for tonight:

Hank, eating..


He already lets them know when he wants to go out and pee! :) Good boy.

Being this adorable is a lot of hard work! And Anna, hang in there, sweety girl.

[boomersooner]

I, for one, love the name Hank!! He looks like a Hank!!! There is a large series of children's books about Hank the Cowdog, so I think Hank is a perfect name for a dog!!! I could just give him smooches....and Anna, too!! My old girl, doesn't like Boomer much....I don't think she would stand near him without a fence in between.....I let her have her space....I figure she deserves to live out the rest of her life without having to deal with a wild puppy she doesn't want to deal with. I tried to get them to bond, but she just didn't want to.....

[CountryWolf07]

Anna is slowly warming up to Hank and I found out that today. She is starting to pay attention to him, but no play yet. He was quite the howler last night - he kept my parents up most of the night and my mom thought he sounded like 3 different dogs at once! Oh, he has SO MUCH beagle in him...

[boomersooner]

Oh, I remember those first couple of nights with a new puppy!!!! How so much noise can come from a little bitty thing! HA....I'm glad Anna is warming up to him....Sounds like she'll be fine....I think we just waited too long to get a second dog....Cassie was almost 14......

[CountryWolf07]

Playing with leaves in the backyard is what Hanks seems to enjoy doing, especially chewing on a piece:

http://photos-f.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v361/87/67/12449168/n12449168_44911509_3398.jpg
I like this leaf..

Ohhhh Rachel! Hank is the cutest! I believe Rosie sent this little guy to you.:love: Oh how I miss when Rita was a little puppy...:)

[wolf_Q]

I'm so glad your family has Hank to lift your spirits during this difficult time. He is really adorable, and looks like a sweet pup!

[CountryWolf07]

Mr. Hank is 5.1 lbs!

WOW. Tiny boy. I wonder how much he will weigh once he gets older.... It will be a joy to watch him grow into an adult dog. The vet thinks he will reach up to 20 lbs.

He also has kennel cough but he already has medication for that and he is doing better. :)

[k9krazee]

He is SOOOOO cute. I'm so glad your family is giving regular picture updates! :D

[CountryWolf07]

Just letting you guys know.... Hank will be here tomorrow night! I can't wait.. Expect to see a lot of pictures by Sunday evening.

[wolf_Q]

Hope you and Hank have a great time! Can't wait for pics! :)
