Puppy!!!

Things have been a little crazy around here the past couple of days. On Sunday, we brought our new Doberman puppy home. His name is.... *drumroll* ... Viggo (VEE-go). Months ago, the hubby and I were talking about puppy names and the hubby came up with that name and ever since, "Viggo" was going to be the name of our next Doberman.

Viggo is a bundle of energy, bold, inquisitive, into everything. Already, he is displaying some typical Doberman traits like loving his comfort and snuggling. He's also quickly catching on to his name, learning sit, and has already learned to climb up the stairs. Not too bad for only having been on this planet for 9.5 weeks and in our pack for 48 hours.

It's been hard to get any decent pictures of our new squiggly puppy, but we managed to get a few...




How does Roxie feel about her new little brother? Well, she's taking it in stride, alternating between teaching him the rules of her castle and running circles around him in the backyard. Viggo weighs more than Roxie does already, but she's still a little bit taller than he is... for now.


Overall, Roxie seems to be ok with the new addition to our pack and I know she'll enjoy having canine companionship again, especially once Viggo learns that she's the resident princess here. He has so much to learn!


We're all getting used to having a puppy in the house again. It's a lot of work and lots of lost sleep, but it's always more than worth it when your puppy turns into the wonderful companion that you dreamed he or she could be. And these puppy days and weeks will fly by in the blink of an eye and Viggo will be a big moose before we know it. I'm looking forward to watching him grow and take his spot in our hearts.
