My new doggies name is Buddha....he's a pit mix (we think lab)...we got him from the SPCA where we got Riely exactly a year before...we wanted her to have a playmate so shes not so bored during the day....but we thought a puppy would be a better choice so that they would definitely get along and Riely (who is sort of a spoiled brat) wouldn't kill him....you know how dogs are around babies...even if they hate them...they still tolerate them...
When we saw him, he was one of 2 puppies there...a boy and a girl, brother and sister....he's definitely pit just by looking at him, but his sister was a lot smaller and looked more like a lab...i believe her fur was black and brownish...but not brindle like he is...my fiance really liked his toenails because they're different colors...i was kind of drawn to the girl because she was so sleepy and cute, but we knew we needed a boy (since riely is a girl)...at the time he was jumping all over his sister and biting her...he's very mouthy...we took him and Riely into the playroom and they played...and he chewed on anything and everything he could get to...including my arm...and my shoelaces...and pant leg...
Theres also some pictures of our other dog Riely (lab/terrier)when she was a puppy and a picture of them snuggling on the couch...he's an annoying little brother...but he's soooo adorable...and he's growing so fast...i can barely pick his tubby butt up anymore and he's only 14 weeks old....(ill weigh him tomorrow, but at 9 weeks he was 16.5 pounds) he's gained a LOT since then...
to give some perspective...Riely is pretty much full grown and around 50 pounds...she was only 6.5 pounds at 9 weeks....Buddha is gonna be huuuge...
they have the same ears...lab ears...so we think he's lab too...i didn't want to leave this morning for work...he was all sleepy and snuggling with me under the covers...he puts his little head on my shoulder...Riely is a total Daddys Girl...and follows the manfolk everywhere...she's got a touch of separation anxiety with him...so I was determined to make Buddha into my little mamas boy...so far its working...i remember the second or 3rd day we had him i came home from work and the Man had him outside....and he put Buddha down and he just sprinted for me in that clumsy puppy way... *sigh*...so cute...
