Meet Boston

So last night DJ calls me from work (overnight shift) and informs me that we're going sailing today (Saturday) in Fall River. Being pretty gullible and recalling a conversation we had recently about wanting to learn how to sail, I heartily agreed to be ready by 9am this morning. On the drive down to Fall River, I ask him a barrage of questions:

PJ: Are we sailing on a lake, river, or ocean?
DJ: I dunno.
PJ: Do we get our own boat or do we share with other people?
DJ: I dunno.
PJ: How much is it per person?
DJ: I dunno...

I should have begun suspecting something when we drove into the middle of nowhere in Southeastern Massachusetts, nowhere near a body of water. He finally confessed that no we weren't going sailing, that the sailing/boat club info sheet he printed out was fake, and that we were actually going to see a dog breeder.

And so please say hello to the newest member of our family. Meet Boston, the Boston Terrier who lives in Boston.

Four weeks old

We can't bring him home for another month, but we are already beginning to act like crazy dog people. I want to buy him health insurance and DJ wants to buy a video camera to document his every move. And don't get me started on the collection of sweaters I'm going to knit for him.

he is sooo cute!
Don't forget to collect his baby teeth when they fall off. I did that for my dogs and collected those little cute teeth in a tub. But it's too bad I lost them when I moved.

Yay! So cute! I'm excited that we won't be the only folks in our CG with a pet, now. I do recommend pet insurance (VPI Pet Insurance is who we carry ours with), and although we haven't videoed Hershey we take bunches of pictures.. :) Welcome to the crazy world of being owned by a pet!
