Puppy Part 2

Meet "Sanorka's Buckley's Chance" aka: "Buckley," the latest addition to our family. Buckley is a Samoyed and we've had him for about 2 weeks now. He's 11 weeks old now and growing fast.

In this series of photos, shot over two weeks, you can see how fast he's growing by looking at his ears. The first day we had him, his ears were quite floppy but sometimes pricked up. And when he ran they flapped like a butterfly's wings. Now they are permanently erect and hardly move at all when he runs and jumps.

New Puppy - part I

We won't be able to take him home until February 27, 2010 but here he is (we actually don't know which of two males will be ours but to me they all look pretty much the same so it could be one of these (actually these could possibly be all the same dog; but I digress)).

"Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the Winter of 1925. Endurance · Fidelity · Intelligence"

We got up a bit late and this was the crowd that greeted us in Times Square for the parade

Is that Shrek?
