Both David and I always grew up with pets so we have always wanted to get one of our own. It is difficult in NYC and we knew it wouldn't be fair to a puppy to be left at home all the time by itself, so once we knew we were coming back to Florida and that we'd both be working from home fairly often, we knew it was the perfect time to welcome a puppy into our family!
David had been working for weeks to find a breeder and was planning to surprise me with Bojangles as my anniversary gift. He realized that I would want some input into what puppy we got, so he sent me a few pictures to choose from.
Of course, I saw this face and couldn't dream of having any other pup:
Of course, Jangles had lots of presents before he had even come home with us! My mom made him this adorable bucket with lots of toys and puppy supplies!
Jangles was born in Winter Haven, which is about an hour from our apartment. It is between Orlando and Tampa. We left on Saturday morning to go pick him up. We arrived and the breeder was doing some paperwork with another family so we had some quality time alone with Jangles before it was time to make it official!
David is very excited to have Jangles in our family!!
My first of many hugs from baby Jangles!
We had about 20 minutes to play with him in the front yard. He LOVES water so we spent about 10 of those minutes trying to pry him away from the water bowl.
We welcome Jangles back to our apartment and he seemed to be one happy pup! He fits perfectly into our lives and enjoys many of the activities that we do (watching TV, taking naps, etc). :)
Here are David and Jangles watching some football:
Not long after Jangles came home with us, was Halloween. It was too much of a rush and hectic time for us for him to have a full blown costume (plus, I don't think he would have liked to have been dressed up), but we did get him an adorable Halloween bandanna! He wasn't too sure about it, but finally got used to it.
It said, "Scary! Eek!" on it :)
A couple days later we decided it was time for Jangles to meet his Uncle Booker. Jangles, of course, LOVED Booker and wanted to follow him around. Booker, on the other hand, wasn't so sure who this new kid in town was. He basically ignored Jangles other than a few growls here or there.
Overall, he was very patient!
Here you can see a video of Jangles and Booker and you can really see how much Jangles loves him and how much Booker just wanted to get away! haha
Luckily, they are much more comfortable with each other now.
We are loving having Jangles be a part of our family! He is growing so fast and changing every day. More pictures to come!
