Eclipse? What eclipse? We have a puppy to talk about!
First of all, his name is Eddie Otis and it makes me giggle every time I say it. Our first chocolate lab was named Archie after a guy named Archie Otis from Tom’s hometown. Otis was the last name. I got to name Ernie (Ernesto Gordo = Fat Ernest) so it’s Tom’s turn again and he chose Archie Otis’ son Eddie Otis. He does not keep in contact with these people, by the way.
Our friend Eric ordered this dog bed for us! We were so touched.
We traveled about 40 minutes away to Indiana early Saturday morning. We had picked out our boy from the three males (it was a whole litter of chocolates!) a week prior and he was bathed and ready.
Look at that tongue!
Seeing his new yard for the first time!
He had visitors – both Heathers, one of the Heather’s daughter and friend, and Eric, the husband of one of the Heathers.
I walked in on this late afternoon:
First night went pretty well. This towel was rubbed all over his mama so he would have her scent. He is already crying when he needs to go out to potty.
His mama is silver and named Aly:
His Dad’s name is Terry:
We are in love and we are tired!

Congratulations on your newest family member! What a darling. The puppy stage is so fun and exhausting at the same time. Cute name – I loved the story on how you chose it and that you and your husband take turns in naming your fur babies. Must consider middle names for our dogs in the future 😁.

Your new baby is so precious. I am currently without a dog, although I have 5 cats, and I miss my doggos so much. I am keeping my eyes open.

Thank you! I also love cats, but my hub won’t have one. I bet you do – they are just different personalities. It’s so nice having at least one animal, though.
