My family got a new puppy yesterday
A little boxer boy to help fill the hole left when Buddy died. This one's name is Eddie, for Edward Jones, the investment company, since it's the money Eddie Jones has been providing my parents with that provided for the puppy.
He's a purebred, from a respectable breeder. Normally, I'm really against supporting the breeding industry, but my folks were just so heart-broken when Buddy died, that they wanted a dog that had a reasonable chance of a long, healthy life. Unfortunately, because of mosquitoes in the South, pretty much any rescue dog is going to be infected with heartworms, which is not only a very expensive to treat, but the cure is very arduous, and an infection can leave lasting damage (which is what contributed greatly to Buddy's early death). At any rate, of the probably 50 or so various cats, dogs, rabbits, ground hogs, raccoons, turtles that my family has cared for over the years, all of which were rescues, my folks figure they owe themselves a 'planned pregnancy'.
I'll post pictures as soon as I have some, probably this weekend. This puppy seriously takes adorable to an entirely new level
