This time next week, we will have a new family member. He will be 8 weeks old and he is a brindle, male boxer. We have been anxiously awaiting his arrival and getting prepared for a new puppy in the house. I hardly remember Harley being a puppy. I do remember how she loved to dig holes in our backyard and would sometimes play so hard we thought she might pass out. I look back on pictures of her when she was so very small, and I can hardly believe it. So, bringing Gunner home will be bittersweet. What a joy to have a new furry friend and to love and spoil, but yet a reminder of a sweet girl we lost not long ago.
The breeder says he has perfect markings and wanted to keep him for a show dog, but her husband told her she needed to wait until the mama's next litter. He comes from a great bloodline and the breeders seem to truly LOVE raising Boxers and have been so great to work with.
Adam and I will drive to Waco next Saturday to pick him up. I pray for some speedy training of this little guy! I don't have as much patience now that I have three kiddos:) As long as he potties outside and doesn't chew up my house, we'll be great buddies!
Learning to love again... we can't wait to be your new family Gunner!
