Not mine, unfortunately--my parents' and sister's. The dog we had when I was a teen died last spring and they finally felt up to adopting a new one.<br><br>
So here's Beartholomew (Bear)! He's a 4mo old german shepherd/lab mix.<br><br><img alt="" src="http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f105/LintuLintu/bear.jpg" style="border:0px solid;">

He's gonna grow to be big and strong with that Red Label!<br><br><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

 

[Lintu]

Hahaha...yeah...they've just remodeled the kitchen and had to throw out stuff...

 

[Auntie Moe]

so cute!!! you are all killing me with the puppy photos!

 

[Lintu]

It's killing me, too, that I can't be there to meet him! An excuse to go visit <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
Oh, and I want to send a gift...what should I get? I'm thinking a personalized collar and some chew toys.

 

[techgoddess]

Look at those ears!!

 

[QuixoticNotions]

Aww!<br><br>
He's got some big ole' paws and legs! Looks like a strong puppy

 

[Auntie Moe]

I think that's lovely. i also like to give people the little religious medals you can get for animals now (if you're so inclined.) St Francis medal. But you can also get jewish blessing ones and Buddhist ones. I like them...to protect our furry family.

 

[Lintu]

My mom would like that, I think <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> Thanks for the idea!!

 

[bootsie]

I love puppies!!! <img alt="love7.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/love7.gif"> He's so cute!

[runningINnyc]

Can I dogsit?

 

[Auntie Moe]

here's a nice one:<br><a href="http://www.catclaws.com/products/st-francis-medallion.php" target="_blank">http://www.catclaws.com/products/st-...-medallion.php</a>

 

[diablita]

He is SOOO cute! And yes, going to be huge.<br>
As for gifts, we've found that doggies love squeeky toys. I'm thinknig that if you can make the puppy happy and drive your family nuts at the same time, that's a bonus! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

There's a much cuter one on CHRunners.
