A new member of the family has come home...

[GMTruckGuy74]

I would like to introduce to you all the newest member of my family, Buddy:

He is a Shih Tzu and was born on January 27. We found him Saturday night at a puppy store that is owned by the same guy that we bought our other dog, Benji (Lhasa Apso) from 12 years ago. Buddy was picked up yesterday afternoon and has been a pure joy to have as a part of our family. Benji is adjusting to the new puppy, however he appears not to be too thrilled right now

On the otherhand these two have formed quite a bond:

Ah, a boy and his dog...

Thanks everyone!!

Buddy is such a friendly, well behaved and outgoing dog. We are truly blessed to have him in our lives.

If you're new or don't recall, we lost our younger Lhasa Apso (Snickers, 8 years-old) in September to cancer. My 6 year-old son has consistantly asked to get a new dog, he took the loss really hard. I was worried our 12 year-old Lhasa Apso (Benji) would not take to a new puppy or eventually the puppy would learn bad behaviors from the older dog, but so far my worries have been unfounded.

He has brought a new sense of joy to the family... my older step-son (soon to be 18) was standoff-ish at first, but yesterday turned around and now is visably excited about the dog as the rest of us. My 20 month-old daughter is the only one I know not overly thrilled with Buddy. He thinks her little feet/toes are great to nibble on, she thinks otherwise! When she sits on the floor he goes over and tries to kiss her. I guess she's too young to enjoy the affection he's giving, but I think she will come to like the dog soon enough

Cute.. I'm thinking of eventually getting a Yorkie male puppy as a companion for my Yorkie girl. Or another Westie or Cairn.
