I feel kinda guilty being excited about a new puppy. It has been over 10yrs since we’ve had the joy of a puppy, so it is hard not to be. But being only a month since we lost Sasha..it feels a little wrong.
It has been unbearably empty here with out her, without any dog at all. I still haven’t been into the backyard (I don’t use the clothes line remember 
) and the yearning for a baby had become overwhelming for both of us.
So we started looking around for some breeds and breeders…just looking. We wanted something small that we could have inside always, get on with or at least not eat the kitteh and that we could take out and about in the car. We had thought a pug could be good, ticked all the boxes..and I do have an attraction to cute but ugly. I would really love a French Bulldog, or Boston Terrier…but it will take some further bribing to warm him up to a $3000 dog 
We visited a few breeders, one was down right awful, and others didn’t have what we wanted. We went to another Sunday, not expecting much.
The wife was into the pugs, and the husband.. Australian Bulldogs. While the kids and I played with the itty bitty pugs the men folk got talking and the next thing we are off to look at the bulldogs…and I guess you can see where this is going.
I think Jake was in love the moment the kennel door opened and out spilled 5 fat little puppies. Then the way he looked at me like an excited 5yr old asking can we please have one of these instead. He has really been missing Stasia, she was such a Daddy’s girl..the other meezers aren’t that into him. How could I say no?
Her name is Sookie, which must be said with a Bill Compton-ish southern accent. I really wanted the boy puppy, so I could call him Eric, tho it doesn’t seem too appropriate for a bulldog.
He rings me 3-4 times a day, to see what ‘I’ am doing..which really means what is my baby doing
Yes, lots of sleepy pics. She is a baby after all (an 8.7kg baby!). And you can’t beat that sleepy puppy smell, right? She seems to only have two speeds, full pelt crazy and sleepy.
The baby shopping is going to send me broke.
No, they are not cat scratches on her nose..yet . They are from her brothers and sister sharp little puppy teeth.
*dies of the cuteness* She is so adorable. I just love bulldogs’ boofy heads. However, I recommend that you do puppy preschool and obedience classes because bulldogs are stubborn little so & so’s when they want to be so you need to start training them young.
awww she is SO cute! And Daddy looks so happy with his baby
I can understand why “daddy” fell in love with her straight away.
Too beautiful for words.
How are the Cats?…especially when she is in full pelt mode.
Don’t feel guilty….Sasha would not want her family unhappy.
Awww that’s cute. Ugly, but cute LOL
Oh Leigh, she is adorable, i love the look on her little face in the pic where Jake is kissing her, i can see you all cuddling her every minute of the day (i know i would)
Don’t feel guilty about Sasha she knew you loved her & would want you to give another baby a great home just like you did for her. Give her a big cuddle & kiss for me
cute and a lil ugly
awwwww
*swoon* I love her name (although secretly wish you had a boy so I could swoon at Eric).
Awwww….there is no such thing as an ugly puppy.
Enjoy the baby shopping.
OMG she is gorgeous,love the pics…..can tell Jake loves her
I sooo want one now….they are so cute:)
