UPDATE: I did end up changing his name – he is now “Brutus”, and he actually responds to that name now. After two and a half weeks of having him, I can honestly say that I LOVE it. Maybe I’ll get another little dude sometime… 
I know, I know. I need to finish the a post that covers my AMAZING weekend with family and friends in Dallas, but I just can’t help but put it off a bit longer.
Yesterday I became the owner of this little guy:
He’s a 2-year-old Boston Terrier and he’s supposedly named Zeke, although he really doesn’t respond to that name AT ALL. I may be renaming him in the next couple of days.
The story behind “Zeke” isn’t so happy – his original owner passed away from complications with cystic fibrosis last fall, and he’s been staying with a co-worker of the late owner since then. However, this most recent owner has assumed care of her 8-week-old grandson and doesn’t feel like she can take care of both. Thus, I GOT HIM!
My good friend, Jim, also as a 2-year-old Boston Terrier, named Boss, and they are over at my place a LOT. This means that the two little boys will be able to play with each other quite often.
In case you haven’t seen him yet, here’s Boss:
HOORAY! Congratulations!!!
Hmm, your blog ate my first comment…
So CONGRATS!!! Adopting a dog is the best, isn’t it? He’s gorgeous.
Good luck with the adjustment period–it took Lexi and I a while to settle in with each other, but now we operate like a well-oiled machine (that only occasionally sputters and stops). You guys will do great.
Time to put in a doggie door!
Um, yeah. Sorry ’bout that. My blog was hungry.
It IS exciting, and I would LOVE to put in a doggie door… I just need to get the back yard fenced-in first.
Awww. He’s cute. Congrats on the new addition!
Well your pal from Ohio loves the fact that you named your dog after the OSU mascot! Now you really need to move out this way.
