New Family Member!

Nota reptile, but an adorable 10 week old doberman puppy!

Name is undecided for now, but thinking of Diego or Ivan.

I haven't had a puppy in about a decade, so while not new, it's different lol.

I have always wanted a big dog. But due to apartment living all my life, never could have one. This is mom's little 'gift' to me for the new house. Still have 3 weeks before the move, but he was available now. =)

So happy I could just cry! ^_^

Congrats Mink. It's Christmas all the time at your place

. I like Dobies. They're very smart and protective dogs but they can be a little high strung when they're young. Best wishes with your boy. I like Diego between the two names.

Congrats

I prefer Diego over Ivan in this case as well.

Awwww!!! I love the bigger dogs. Can't help you with names though, I'm sure what ever you pick will be perfect

@Ziggy

It sure feels like it lately! Lol. I am FINALLY in a comfortable zone in life where I can actually have things! Ever since I was young it was all about living paycheck to paycheck and sliding by with the bare minimums. Alot is happening all at once right now too. It's a little overwhelming, but in a good way. =)

dear mink, he looks like he's going to get nice and big by the size of his paws. there's nothing like a puppy! have fun!

Congrats Mink! He's adorable. I can't wait to get out of my apartment and into a house so I can get a big dog as well.

**Minkness** · 04-01-16, 10:29 AM

Oh Em....he is GORGEOUS! I am torn about wether to crop his ears or not though. His are naturally small and perky , not big like a hound dogs. Just not sure I want to go through the process. But man do I love a good cropped dobie!

eminart · 04-01-16, 11:00 AM

Thanks! He really is a great dog. The last dog I had before him was a german shepherd dog from champion police bloodlines. He was smart, but this doberman is smarter, and a much better family dog. I think you'll enjoy yours.
