He is adorable, and I am so glad he adopted him!! I would adopt a bunch if I had room for them! :dogkiss :dogpat

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

Yes, adoption is great!

He's 10 weeks old and has five brothers/sisters - - they were all adopted within two days because they are sooooo cute!

He has webbed paws, so we think he got those from the dad.

Awwww. I love puppies. Too bad my cats don't love puppies.

Looks like your son got a sweet one there. Enjoy him while he's young!

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

Remember.... Calm and submissive. You must project a positive energy!

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

The sleeping pictures are too much!! My heart melted! :heart

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

Crate training! It's the only way to go! That's how we trained our dog, Indie. Never trained a dog that way before, but now I'd never do it any other way.

By the way, cute puppy!! His webbed feet probably came from the lab part of him. Labs have webbed feet :)

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

He bought the crate today - - we'll see how that goes tonight.

He's full of life, but then he gets tired and just drops down and sleeps - - too cute!

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

So cute! What is his name?

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

He's gonna be a good sized dog when he gets full grown. Hope they have plenty of room :)

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

The shelter named him Luke, but I'm sure my DIL will want to name him herself. I'll probably have a new name by tomorrow.

They are at their SS Christmas party tonight and we're going to go to their house right before they get home and he'll be there to greet her when she walks in the house! I have a big red bow we are going to put on him.

It'll be so much fun!!!!

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

Yep - they wanted a good size dog and they have a fenced in backyard too!

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

Cute pics...I can't even imagine my dog being that size anymore.

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

I'm so excited for them; what fun!!!!

I seriously thought you were going to tell us one of the gals was pregnant and you were going to be a G'ma! I was already feeling jealous. LOL:christmoose

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

She was pleased!!

She's thinking about naming him Chesney

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

Sounds like the first night went well - - - he slept in his kennel and didn't make any prizes......

He's on his way over here to play!

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

He's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!!!!!

We are giving my dog run to our pastor and his wife for their dog - looks like I won't be getting another dog! :tissue

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

Congratulations on the addition of the new dog to the family!:santathumb

Somehow that don't sound right!:hmmm

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

They are sticking with the name Chesney........

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

Absolutely too cute!!!!!!!!

I love it when they are puppies, then when they get big and bark alot and jump on you, I don't like them quite as well......

Here they learn VERY quickly.......don't jump on Moma!!! See I have this little secret that keeps them from jumping more than a couple times, then they LEARN fast and don't do it anymore....

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

ADORABLE--and your son looks super proud of himself. LOL!!!!

Marley & Me comes to mind!!! Good flick! They need to see it! :D

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

I think we're going to see it tomorrow night.

Chesney looks a lot like Marley!

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

We saw it today. If you go, Renda, TAKE TISSUES. You'll need them. Trust me on this one.

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

So I've heard.

My daughter when with her St. Louis family and she said even the guys were crying!

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

When we went, it was so funny........... We sat in this order:
Bernie (my mom's friend), my mom, me, Lori (my friend) and Val (her daughter)

So we get to the part where tissues are needed and Lori leans over to Val and asks if she brought tissues. She didn't. So she leans to me and asks if I did. I didn't, So I lean to my mom just as she's reaching in her purse for hers. She pulls one out and hands it to me. I pass it down to Val on my right and put my hand out for another on my left. Mom gives me another, I pass it to Lori on my right and reach my hand out to my left to get another from mom, which she gives to me. Then Bernie needs one. Then people around us.................

I'm telling you - even the grown men were sniffling hard!

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

I cannot do sad dog movies! Years ago I was reading the book aloud " Where the Red Fern Grows" , aloud to my class- When we got to the sad part I started crying- my class just stared at me- finally the foster grandparent who was in my room- came over and took the book from me and continued reading because I could not continue reading. He finished reading the book aloud to my class for me.

Re: New Addition to My Family!!!!!
 

I remember our fourth grade teacher reading "Old Yeller" to us out loud. I remember the whole class crying, boys, girls AND teacher! Still it's one of my favorite dog stories of all time.

I think I dated this guy once!
