New Puppy. :)

9 years ago

Coming out of hiding to share my new friend. I know you all are suckers for a puppy.

My family has had a really hard time for the past two years as my sister was diagnosed with mesothelioma. She passed away in January. My life has been turned upside down, I quit my job and have been running her successful breakfast restaurant with her husband.

I've been stalking rescue sites thinking that maybe a puppy or small dog would bring a little fun into the family. For me and also my 16-year-old niece, who I am very close to.

Monday we picked up Beans in Manchester, NH. The rescue brings shelter dogs up from Mississippi for adoption in New England.

They said she may be a mix of Chihuahua and Pomeranian, but who knows? Oscar the Frenchie is not exactly thrilled, but he is being tolerant.

    Congratulations on the addition to your family and thank you for saving the life of a homeless pet. She is so cute!

    So precious!

    She's very cute. I would have thought some kind of terrier in the mix.

    Eeeeeeeeeeee! Soooo adorable! Congratulations on your new little friend.

    As a rescue dog 'transporter' and adopter, I know Miss Beans will bring you years of love and laughter, and appreciation for giving her a wonderful home!

    She's over-the-top adorable, and I can see that Oscar's body language may be tough now, but I predict he'll get over it soon. If Beans is anything like my Ginger, you can see what may happen if Oscar continues to think she doesn't need to be there! The little ones can be very much in charge...

    Animals have that unique ability to help heal our hearts; amd there are few things like puppy love. May you and Beans and Oscar have a happy life together!

    I'm so sorry for your loss, Bethpen and know how hard it is to lose a sister.

    Bean is adorable! Oscar's nose may be out of joint for a bit but I'm sure he'll come around.

    Nothing like a fuzzy faced pup. I've loved every fuzzy face I've owned oh so much.

  • 9 years ago

    Bean is fabulous! Nothing better than a scruffy dog face...maybe she's got a little terrier in there too :) I hope she brings you peace and healing.

    So sorry for the loss of your sister, but I'm sure working in her family biz is a blessing for you and her family -- a way to share and celebrate her memories. I hope that brings you and her DH peace and strength. Beans is adorable. Enjoy!

    I'm sorry for your family and that your dear sister died, you must be shattered. You made the right move by bringing home your darling Beans, great name for a pup from Boston. I'll bet you're already enjoying the new addition and will have many many years of happy times. You were supposed to have Beans.
