Baby boy bulldog coming to us on November 26th!

Yeah, finally! We'll be getting our new bulldog puppy on the 26th. It's been almost 6 months since Boris died, I can't believe it and I miss him so much. It's so unfair that dogs don't live long, long lives with us.
I'm very happy at the idea of having a boy back in the house and I can't wait to see how Harlow reacts to him! She's very Alpha dog and bossy. She'll be glad to have someone to boss again and hopefully she didn't get too spoiled being an only child for a few months.

Here are pictures that the breeder has sent us, she's the same gal that we bought Boris and Harlow from.

Below, he's about 3 weeks old. That's his brother behind him.

Below at 6 weeks old. What a show dog! He won't be shown though, he'll have a leisurely life sleeping on the couch and walking on the beach. Look at that tum-tum!



Many more pictures to come once he arrives!

Harlow vs Madison

It's Princess Madison Rose vs Harlow the Junkyard Bombshell in a battle of Good (Maddie) vs Naughty (Harlow)
Maddie is about twice as tall as Harlow, but that doesn't intimidate Harlow, she's a toughie.
Fun was had by all, and Harlow didn't hump Maddie's head this time, although that one photo looks like she was getting ready to!

Harlow 8/24

She has spots everywhere! On her belly, on her fanny, on the bottom of her feet. Everyday she has darker and bigger spots.



Friday she spent her first night in Strathmere. She won't walk on a leash yet, so we just hung around the house and yard.



It's always nice just kicking back and relaxing in Strathmere.

Now, I torture you with videos

Sleeping baby -


What's all the noise?




Out of control! The breeder told us she was a quiet and laidback puppy!

Harlow mania spreads!

Joan posted Harlow's photo to the Houston Chronicle
And Julie from Damn Good Vintage couldn't resisted posting the cuteness in her Damn Good blog

Plus, we took her to visit some friends, and while we were out in their front yard, people walking by kept stopping to see Harlow. Some kids riding by on their bikes stopped to see her, and they all whipped out their cellphones and started taking pictures of her!

By the way, her official registered name is 'D&D's Harlow the Junkyard Bombshell'
D&D is the breeder, and my dad wanted Junkyard in the name. I always tease him about the yard being a junkyard (cars and tools all over) and I call our dogs Junkyard Dogs.

The Cutest Puppy Ever Blog

New blog name people! Only because I'm probably going to overlaod it with puppy photos for well into the future.
First, let's observe the naughtiness. You forget how much work a puppy is in between raising dogs. You have to keep an eye on her all the time.
Here she is throwing her bowl around, great fun, she does it with the water too. Then chewing on my vintage chenille bath mat.



I know, she is so cute! It is unbearable. Especially when she first wakes up, and she looks up at you all sweet and wiggley. Here she is chewing one of Boris' bones, which he seems to not mind sharing. He's being really sweet with her now.



Here are two sleeping photos. She has trouble getting comfortable and pouts while she tried to get to sleep. She also like to move the blankets and build a little nest. She seems to like sleeping with her head raised, as seen here against the antique stove and under the diningroom table.

She's Here!

Here we are on the ride home, with baby asleep on my lap. I used a pee-pee pad this time, since Boris peed on me on the way home when we went to get him.
(I'm wearing one of my favorite vintage dresses. I wanted to wear a special one to go get her. Whenever I see the jacket that I wore to get Boris it brings back that day)




Look at the big belly! She photographs big, she's actually pretty small, only about 10 pounds.




Waking up and looking around. Are we there yet?




Meeting Boris for the first time.



He sniffed her, and slobbered all over her.



She likes him, although he seems a little afraid of her. She wanted to play with him. He just wanted to sniff. He keeps pushing her and knocking her over. But she handled it well.




Finally we gave them both a break and I took her upstairs for a little nap, and he went to sleep in the kitchen.

6 weeks old!

6 weeks old! We are set to get her August 5th. I can't wait!!!
We aren't set on a name yet, I'm still liking Harlow.

What name does she look like to you?

Puppy - 4 weeks old

Let the sqealing begin -

Pink toes . . . .
Freckles on her ears . . .

2 weeks old!

Here she is, little no name beauty, at 2 weeks old. Her eyes are open and her nose is starting to turn black. She's already looking so much bigger. Only 5 weeks and 6 days to go until we get her!

1 week old!

Here are the latest photos of our little girl. I don't know why they are in black and white, or maybe the lighting was low. Her ears are down now and she's getting fat. Her hair looks thick for being so young. Look at the little wrinkles on her leg.
I bet she's a squeaky little thing.



She'll be ours August 7th.

Guess what??!!

Look who will to be coming to live with us! She was just born a few days ago, so it's going to be a very long 8 weeks until we get her. She's an English bulldog and we are buying her from the same breeder that we bought Boris from. The breeder will be sending us weekly photos (hopefully) so we can see her grow. And I can post her photos here and drive you crazy talking about how much longer we have until we get her! And of course there will be a discussion about names too.
She's so sweet and I am totally in love with her already. She's all white except for a cute little spot on her fanny.
