One more week!

Winston is now 7 weeks old and will be coming home to live with his big sister Molly next weekend. We are so excited! He was at the vet today and weighed in at 7.75 lbs! Biggest in the litter. I think he's already earned the nicknames Bruiser and Tank. Here's our big boy...as of last week:

You people are making me crazy with jealousy over your new puppies!!! If I had my way once one of our dogs got out of the puppy stage we'd get another one. (Just kidding, my husband would kill me!

) But seeing all the cute pictures make me want another one!

My husband is counting the days until we can get a new puppy.

We went to order a new dog door and my husband insisted that we get the giant breed kind "just in case we want to adopt a mastiff". So for our 50-60 pound short dogs we now have a dog door that's tall enough for a mastiff. He keeps telling me he wants to adopt a 3rd dog and last weekend said he'd like to start volunteering with me at the shelter. I think he wants to pick out a dog.

I told my husband pretty much the other breed I'd like to have at some point in life would be a great dane or a mastiff. I know he would absolutely love to have an irish wolfhound. So at some point in our life together, we might end up with a basset hound or two and/or a huge dog that's taller than I am! I think that would be a funny picture. Seeing a basset hound hugging the ground playing with their sibling who towers over them.

I just confirmed with the breeder that we will be picking Winston up on Saturday. I can hardly wait! I am thinking we'll bring Molly along and they can bond on the way home. A nice solid hour and a half car ride will hopefully let them get to know each other.

I'm hopeful that he'll acclimate quicker than Molly did since he'll have her around. I've never done the 2 dog thing, so I am filled with nervous excitement. I really hope they like each other!
