He's adorable!  And congratulations.  I am sure he will now help you to finish healing.  Give him lots and lots of hugs from me.  He looks so loveable!  Thanks for posting.  I know it's been hard, good to hear from you though.  Now we need more pics!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!

 

Ahhh....Puppy breath.... :wink: He's so very cute!!!!  Nope, none of our dog's are replaceable, but we learn to love each one of their flaws, foolish ways and habits and endearing lovable ways! How is your family doing?  I'm betting the kids are loving the puppy!!! :) 

 

Now stick around for awhile...We need to watch that puppy grow up, now that you've introduced him to us!!!! :D

Hi Kelly,


WELCOME TO LITTLE MEMPHIS.


How lovely to hear from you, hope you and the family are keeping well.

Memphis is adorable, what a lovely name.  We love puppy breath, we want more photos for sure.

I am so happy for you and your family.  I am sure you will have lots of fun with him...... ahh it does your heart good.


You are right, there won't ever be another Bo Bear, each dog brings something different but they all give unconditional love and I am sure Mr Memphis will bring you much joy and laughter.


Thank you so much for thinking of us, you know we are suckers for puppy photos.  You take good care and when you get time update us with his progress (photos would be good too:lol:).

Oh My Gosh!!!   How cute is he!!!!   One pup never replaces another - they fill a whole different spot in our lives.   Always hold onto and cherish Boomer's memories and now it is time to make more memories with this angel.   Best of luck...I have to go back and look at his cute pic again!!!   Thank u for sharing!!  :)

He's adorable! I'm sure he will amuse you with his own funny little ways and bring you much joy :). I'm sorry I'm fairly new so didn't know Boomer or his story. Losing a dog is so unbearable, however I think it helps when you think of the joy you have given each other over the years and it's easy to think of something he did that brought a smile to your face.
