A Friday night "roadtrip" surprise

[anna_66]

Oh Logan, I'm sitting here getting all teary eyed

I'm sure Karen told you that she let the cat out of the bag and told me about Mack and I was totally thrilled for you and your family. There's really nothing that can make you feel a bit better than a snugly, wiggly little puppy
I can just tell that he's helping heal your heart and I really can't wait to see more of this little guy grow!
So what are the rest of the furkids thinking about this new addition?!

Big Happy {{{HUGS}}} to you and your family!

Logan, he is a doll baby. Soooo sweet. I do believe your husband found the perfect RX for you & the whole family..

And I have to add for us too. I think many of us were really grieving the passing of Zipper. Despite knowing of his recent illness, I wasn't prepared for the seriousness of what was wrong nor the inevitable outcome. It was really so sad.

When I heard the news from last Friday, I couldn't have been more surprised and yet heartened by the arrival of little Mack. Yes, like a Mack truck this little guy will take their family and Pet Talk by storm

[Logan]

I hope you all realize how dear you all are to me!!!

To answer some of your questions, Mack turned 9 weeks old, yesterday. And yes, he is helping to heal my broken heart, although it isn't quite healed, for sure. He is serving as a great distraction, for sure.

I know at some point in time, I was quoted as saying I would probably never have another puppy and would always adopt through rescue. I guess Scott Bagley changed that for me and I will love him til the day I die for it. We needed some young life in this house, I guess, and something to make this mom laugh again. And I have laughed and cried at the same time.

Lilly hates puppies, bless her heart, and always has. Otherwise, she is the most gentle loving Golden Retriever you could ever meet. She is trying, with lots of help from us, to accept Mack. As long as he doesn't get near her when she's eating and when she has a toy, she's fine with him. Honey is leary, but she's doing better. In fact, just a little while ago, Mack was asleep in his bed, beside my feet and Honey came and went to sleep with her head right next to him (of course, my camera was in the other room).

Mimi and Butter are fascinated by the little fellow. He already weighs more than both of them, but he is learning some healthy respect for their "swats". Butter, bless his heart, wants to play and so far has been pretty nice to the new boy. Mimi and Mack have gone nose to nose but I've heard a few hisses from her when he gets too rambunctious. I really don't worry about the cats because I know that they have trained many, many dogs who have walked through my door. Honey and Lilly are so big that I do have to watch them a little more closely. Zipper would have been Mack's best friend, I think, as he was so gentle.

Zoe, I don't see Mack "meeting" Roger and Milly, at least not on purpose!

Mack had a good checkup with Dr. Robinson this morning, as well as Honey. He is 10.6 pounds and very healthy.

I'll show you more pictures, later.

Logan

PS. I'm going to need a new signature, aren't I? I'm not ready to take Murphy and Zipper out of my signature, but certainly Mack and maybe even Otto Fish need to be added!

[Zippy]

That was so sweet of him.Zipper would want you to be happy.Zipper loved you and you him.
Mack is so cute.

[wolf_Q]

Congratulations! He is really cute, I love his pudgy belly aww. You are going to have so much fun with him!

p.s. If you want a new signature I'd be happy to make one for you just pm me some photos

[Logan]

Hang on, Amy, and I will take you up on your offer!!! I need to put together the same photos that Popcornbird used to make the last signature, plus some new ones.

Thank you!

Logan

Gee, something was telling me to check the dog side, and boy am I ever glad I did!

Loga, I am so happy for you. Obviously Mack will never replace Zipper, but like you say, he sure can create a diversion to help you heal. He is just too adorable! I've always said if I ever got a dog it would have to be an EBD. I just adore they're little scrunched up faces and pudgy tummies.

Too funny that Butter wants to play!

You have a very special husband. Yes, you will rescue more Goldens someday, but for now, Mackies back in town!

[RobiLee]

Oh my goodness! This post brought tears to my eyes and happy tears too! I am so happy for you, Logan. What a wonderful surprise from Scott. I think this is fantastic and I know this little boy is going to help heal your heart. He is a cutie! I can't believe we get to watch an English Bulldog grow up. I'm so excited! I absolutely love his name, his coloring, his little collar, just EVERYTHING! Gosh, I'm all giddy and he isn't even my puppy..lol.

{{Great big hugs for you, Mack and the whole family}}

The things ya learn in a bar! (Thanks Debbie!)

Oh Logan! A new puppy! And a little Winston Churchill! Look at that puppy belly! Isn't he a doll!

Oh, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Aw!!!! How precious!!!

He is adorable!!!

I'm sure Zipper, with help from Murphy, paw picked him out for you!!!!

I'm so glad you got a baby! There's nothing like a little one to make you laugh through your tears. They are so goofy as they try to figure out this thing called "life".

I wish you all years and years of joy and laughter and lots of doggy kisses too!!!

[Lori Jordan]

Im so sorry i missed the thread of Zipper may both your babies RIP!Now what a handsome new addition you have!I have a new BC puppie and boy does he keep me Busy,it's good though,,,,Wishing you all my very Best...dont hesitate to share loads of pics of Baby Mack!!!

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

Checking back in to see if there are any new pictures *hint*hint*

*lol* at Mimi and Butter! I could only imagine what it would be like at my house if I tried to introduce a puppy. Tinky would not have it... Jupiter is my curious little boy... and I would love to see how he would interact with a puppy!! I'm sure in no time..they will all be best buds!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Just look at this face!!!!
Don't you want to just kiss him silly?
