Blog with a Dog


Ventured through Providence into Connecticut today to pick up our new baby...1 1/2 year old Fig Newton (so named after his brindle coat)  Boston Terrier, former show dog who my mother managed to find with her incredible resourcefulness.
We got in touch with a breeder who co-owned Fig and they were looking to give him up for adoption.  He is the sweetest little guy, lots of energy, loves to give kisses, but isn't a super hyper crazy small dog.  He doesn't bark and instead makes cute little snorts and sniffles.  He was kissing me earlier and it sounded like sound effects from some cannibalistic zombie movie.  He is a really beautiful specimen though, incredible conformation, and his personality is perfect.  He loves to kiss and socialize, but he doesn't have to the be the center of attention (although he will be).

We've taken a few pics so far but it is hard to capture his true essence effectively.  You can imagine that there will be countless pics and videos of this dog doing his thing, but for now here are a few from the first couple hours he's been home.
This is from an early series of pics when he was zipping all around.  The name tag came from his former home and is affixed to his new crate.

He loves to jump from person to person
We've put his main bed on our second couch
After his long walk, ready to chill out.  Right now he is snoring at my feet in his smaller bed under my computer desk.

Infinite kisses to be had.

I leave you with a video of my man and his heavy eyelids:
