I spent a lot of time last night looking at ads for pups within a couple hour radius, we decided to go for a girl but if we were going to get a boy it would be this one -

Have you ever seen anything cuter? I think not, lol

This is where we're going today, I'm taking my mom along because it will be a 2 1/2 hour car ride and she can hold the puppy during the trip home.

I'm with xina on this, Linda. Don't forget to take pictures and post them. And how is your other pug doing? Wasn't he sick sometime back? Are things much better for him now? And I'm assuming Ranger is coming along well also. I know his healing time has been slow and test results have shown there are still some issues, but he seemed rather steady.

How sweet! Makes me want another pup. I've never been brave enough to have 3 dogs. Sad

But, Linda we want pictures!

Xina, I've had 3 before, it's a lot of work! We used to have an American Eskimo that passed away a couple years ago. Ranger mostly is very independent though, he likes to stay outside most of the day and sleeps in the house at night.

I'll catch up on Ranger and Bell first. Ranger is doing great! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for good news when they test him again in December. I notice now when he chases the frisbee he'll jump up so high all 4 legs come off the ground, so hopefully this is a sign that the Lyme is not bothering his joints anymore.

Bells had a bout with Pancreatitus but is doing much better now, on a special diet, permanently I think. Here is is with our son in PetSmart.

On to puppy shopping! She's a girl and her name is Lucy! She is tiny, it doesn't show in pics but when I put her on the floor I can't believe how small she is. They said her mother only got to be about 10lbs so she's going to be a small pug.

My mom is hiding behind her, lol

Pug puppies one day old!

Oh...so cute! I love the name too...Lucy. Very sweet. Puppies are so much fun and a lot of work. You will have to let us know how Ranger and Belle like her. Oh..and I love how your Mom is hiding behind Lucy...LOL...in the one picture she (Lucy) looks like she has a ton of hair! Have fun. I love the puppy days!

How cute, Linda. And I agree--Lucy is a great name. Good luck. Hope your first night is a good one. They learn rather quickly, though.

Last night went fine, she was pretty konked out from all that adventure. Hopefully tonight will go just as well. I'm pretty exhausted right now! LOL When I took her out to potty we had a cold wind and she was shaking like a leaf so I took her to Petsmart today to get a winter coat, too cute.

Lucy and Bell -

That second picture of the both of them is especially cute. Good luck tonight.

I received these photos in an email yesterday and my first thought was to share with all you animal lovers here.

These are black deer and they are called melanistic--the opposite of albino. Pictures were taken near Beamsville ONT, Canada. Black deer are more rare than albinos.

I don't know if this will work or not. It's a video my friend took last night of Bandit.

Siberian Huskies talk. They particularly like to talk to each other. Bandit and I live alone, so with me, he's more quiet than not, but if I ever watch a video that shows ANOTHER Siberian talking, then he will howl along. (Imagine what it used to be like when all 4 of my brother's Siberians were alive, and I would visit with Bandit and my parents would be there with Bandit's sister, Zoey. Crazy-loud!!)

I've never heard that before; that was incredible. They definitely have their own language. Thanks for sharing that Niftybergin.
