new puppy in my very near future...

So...by now, the majority of you know that Kyle and I lost the Gus man a little over three weeks ago. I didn't know that we would be ready for a new dog anytime soon...but Phoebe has been so sad and moping around the house. We started looking in to another bulldog a few weeks ago, and found a breeder we thought we'd like in Corbin, KY (about 2.5 hours away from us). We drove up a week ago to see their litters and fell in LOVE with a little baby girl.

 She comes home to us this Sunday! I can't wait. We are still trying to decide on a name. We've narrowed it to four: Piglet, Petunia, Lola and Sweet Pea. I'll post pics when she's here!

Just wanted to say thanks again for your kind messages, emails, texts, etc when we lost Gus. He was such an important part of our life, and we miss him so much every day. Hopefully this puppy will help fill the void in our hearts.

Re: new puppy in my very near future...

  • Thats awesome.  I was so sad to hear about Gus.  Good luck with the pup!!!
  • Again, I am so sorry about Gus :( 

    I am so happy you and Kyle found a new pup that you fell in love with.  My fave of your 4 names is Sweet Pea!  So cute :)

  • I was heart broken to hear about Gus and I hope that this new little girl will help fill the void for you guys and for poor Phoebe. 

    I love the names you guys have come up with (I thik Petunia or Lola are my favs) and I cannot wait to see pics of the new puppy!

  • Aw!  I know that no puppy will be able to take Gus' place, but hopefully a new pup will bring some joy to your household.

    Did you by chance see post where I paged you over on the Bump last week? 

  • I was also super sad to hear about Gus. I'm so excited for your new puppy though! Yay!

     I vote Lola. Or Piglet :)

  • Losing a dog is so hard, even on the other furbabies!  When my dog died, I swear even my cat missed him.  :(

    I'm so glad you guys found a new puppy to love on!  I can't wait to see some pics, but without seeing the pup, my favorite name so far is Petunia.  :)

  • Again, I'm so sorry about Gus. I know how hard it is to lose a pet. I hope your new pup brings you lots of joy.

    I call our puppy Sweet Pea as her nickname. Poor girl is probably confused on what her name is. But, I love Lola too. Actually, they are all great names. 

    Post a picture when you bring her home!

  • Yeah!!!  You know I loved Gus.  I am excited that you are getting a little girl.  When I get my bulldog, a male, maybe they can hook up :)

    There is a cute little girl in our neighborhood named Heifer.  

  • Yes

    Mary, i love heiffer! so cute and funny for a little bullie. we had a loooong list of names, and finally narrowed it down to these four. i say sweet pea all the time, so while i love it, i'd rather not use that. and i feel like there are a lot of lola's out there. i think my front runners are petunia and piglet - she has a tiny little tail that's a little curled, so piglet is definitely fitting. although, i imagine a big, fat bullie named petunia and it makes me giggle. either way, she's going to be precious!

  • imagestlucia_wife:

    i can't wait to meet your new little love.  phoebe is going to be so excited!!  i LOVE the names lola and sweet pea!

    ps, love your dress in your siggy!

    thanks, marelina! that's my latest big "find" - Lauren Moffat dress, originally $400, I got it for $99! LOVE it when that happens!

  • Yay!  Glad you found one you love.  I can't wait to see her. Was she one of the 3 you posted on twitter a little while ago?

    I think Piglet is an adorable name.  Especially with that little pig toy you have for her. 

  • Aw, you definitely have to post picks when you get her! I've heard baby bulldogs are adorable!
