My family got a new puppy yesterday smile

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'. wink

I'll post pictures as soon as I have some, probably this weekend. This puppy seriously takes adorable to an entirely new level biggrin

Congratulations!

BTW there is nothing wrong with getting a dog from a responsible ethical breeder. (Please see my current blog posting for Echo (MTL) and Lola (PA - not all PA breeder are mills)

Pets are expensive. I used to spend way more on my cat's health than I would on myself. Regular check ups, shots, etc. Good luck with getting back on your feet.

Boxers are awesome dogs.

I was going to draw assembly instructions for a Computer Processor, but the tip of the chalk is real broad and i would have had to go onto my neighbors sidewalk. He is an asshole and probably would of called the cops on me for defacing his property. He already called the cops on me because i parked my truck in front of his house. Parking on the street in my neighborhood is legal, he just didn't want it there, but of course he can park his cars in front of our house and we are supposed to be fine with it.

Good to see you too! I was afraid I'd come back and Silliness would be all different and uninteresting and alienate me. But, man, your thread really relieved the HELL out of me! After I was done cracking up, that is.
