My house has gotten its soul back

To all my old friends here;
My house has gotten its soul back. As you know I lost Kenai in October and Nike the Oct before. My house and my heart have been very lonely. Well that changed Monday. I got a puppy, his name is Jagger and he is a Black Russian Terrier and I am in love already. His breeder is in Tampa but his co owners are from MO they are the people I have delt with. The co owner went to tampa sunday and picked out 2 puppies and I met him at the Tampa airport monday at 9 am, I flew from Asheville earlier. He had 2 puppies for me to choose from he had spent the past day with them so I asked his opinion and got my puppy. He is a trip. He is 10 weeks old tomorrow, weighs 14 lbs. He has visited Dr Earley yesterday and is in excellent health. Dr E has not seen a Black Russian so was amazed at his long legs, me to. Dr E took him into the back and let the girls love on him and love on him and love on him. He is going to be between 120 and 140 lbs, his temperament is excellent he is not shy but not to assertive either. He has 2 speeds run/play and sleep with lots of time for peeing, I forgot how often a puppy can pee....but I am learning.
I am so glad to have another puppy in the house. I miss Nike and Kenai so much, I took Kenais ashes home and barred him beside Nike in our pet cemetery at my parents in Alberta Canada.
I changed my aviator and will add a couple pics to my album of him its hard to get good pics of a black puppy especially when he doesn't sit still for anything.
Just wanted to let those of you that I am not in constant contact with that all is right with the world again, almost.
love from
Sharon and Jagger and always HRH Nike and "Demon Spawn" Kenai.

A new puppy will definitely give a house soul. I am so happy for you:)

I can't wait to see pictures:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

The puppy club on Everything Else is always hopping with puppy escapades and we all love reading about them so don't be shy.

Nlow I am off to look up Black Russian Terriers as I don't know that breed and can't wait to check it out.

hugs,
Addy, Zoe and Koko

YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sharon, it's wonderful to see you here and to meet Jagger. :) :) :) :)

He is a cutie-pie for sure. How could you not fall in love with him the minute you saw him???? I'm sending you both all my best wishes for as peaceful a puppy-phase as possible, and a lifetime filled with love and companionship. Now PLEASE keep us updated, OK??

With much love and many hugs,
Marianne

Hi Sharon!

So, so good to hear from you again and with such exciting news! :D I looked at Jagger's pics last nite....he is a doll and I can see the Terrier in his face even tho the link says they are not true Terriers. ;) I am so happy for you both! Please keep in touch and let us know all about your adventures together.

Hugs,
Leslie

Sharon,

Very cute!!!! Pups you can't live without them and sometimes you wish you could. I tell people Ella is up for adoption at least once a week--they are a handful, but so cute and loving.

My neighbors have a Jagger dog. I asked if he was a good watch dog and they laughed and said he would love them to death if someone broke in...:D

Have fun and yes the house has soul back...and love! You are a family again...:)

Oh Sharon, that is wonderful news :):) and he is a real cutie. Good to see you again :)

Sharon - CONGRATS!! Wow, I am so happy for you. Jagger couldn't have found himself a better mommy! I, too, am unfamiliar with this breed but does look similar to giant schnauzers - at least to me. How big will Jagger get?? I decided to downsize after Zoe because it became so difficult to get her into the car at the end. I could not lift her 80+ lbs in her later years and so Cooky, at 48 lbs, is much more do-able! We now have another too - Friskee - a 14 yr. old yellow lab mix who is a bit taller than Cooky, but very lean. So she also weighs 48 lbs. I'm pretty sure I could lift her too, if I had to. I still have the image in my brain of your escapades with getting Nike and/or Kenai into the car - or was it a truck? Hope to see more pictures. Sue, Cooky, Friskee (and Zoesmom forever)
