Ladies and Gentlemen...introducing....... DIESEL
This is Diesel. We got him this weekend. He is an English Bulldog. But not just any English Bulldog. Quite possibly the cutest pup ever to walk on 4 short stubby legs. He was born on July 2, 2007.
Here is a picture of his father - Thor, Lord of Thunder....
And his beautiful momma, Violet.........
We decided we were going to meet him on Saturday, after Alex' football game. (Alex played hard and did a great job, by the way.....)
We didn't tell the kids we were going to look at a pup, so as to avoid a million questions about when we were leaving, how big is he, are we going soon, etc etc.
I bought the book " Bulldogs for Dummies" and we hid it in Karrie's Yukon. After the game, we started towards the breeders house. Karrie broke it out and started reading from the section entitled "Bringing Your Bulldog Home". The kids all got VERY excited. I would be fibbing if I said we weren't excited, too. We had done some pretty exhaustive research into the breed, and this pup looked beautiful in the ad posted online. The minute we saw him, we fell in love. We got to meet his mom, Violet, and she was very laid back. By laid back, I mean she didn't even wake up when we walked in the house! His dad, Thor, wasn't there. He had...ahem..a date this weekend.
We left with him snuggled up with the kids, and made a pit stop at Petco. We got all the necessities and got to the house. All of us gathered for a family meeting to decide on a name. We whittled it down from about 100 to the top 3. Harley, Cash or Diesel. After much deliberation, it was decided that he is Diesel. He played in the yard, checked out his crate, and generally took over the place. He is home, and we couldn't be happier.
Stay tuned, gentle reader.........
Your lives will never be the same! The first question that will be asked before you do ANYTHING or go ANYWHERE will be: "What do we do with Diesel?"
Cute dog! Good luck-you can call on us to provide info. anytime you need it. Step one: Don't feed him anything from China! If you won't eat it, don't feed it to the dog!
