expansion

OK, the last time I did a comparison, I messed up the perspective and it was hard to tell a change. This time I think you can see the difference. This first picture is Louie when we first got him at 7 weeks old.




This is Louie six weeks later:

jealousy and growth

This is one of the older dogs, showing her frustration with Louie by trying to sleep in his bed:


And this is last week's growth update for Louie:



And this is me ashamed that I have so little to blog about.

Louie cam

I don't want to turn in to the cute dog blogger, but I haven't energy for much else.

growth spurt

This was Louie the first weekend we had him (7 weeks old):


This is Louie one week later. It looks like he increased about 10% in size in one week.

asian theme

I'm not quite sure why the Asian proletariat soldier image is figuring prominently in local paste ups.

the pup

It took us longer than expected to settle on a name, and we tried out several. In the end, his personality just didn't fit Iggy or Raoul or Gale or Winston. We named him Louis (pronounced Louie, not Lewis).

unexpected new addition

We weren't even considering it, but on the day that our neighbors were giving away their puppies and had one left, he was just too cute to pass over. The two medium sized dogs we already have are a bit overexcited right now, but they don't seem overly freaked out. We ran out and bought a crate (with a divider insert), some food, and some little toys. The poor thing went from a home of two adult pugs and four male puppies to two adult female 60-pounders without any warning.

We don't even have a name for him yet. People have made many suggestions: Winston Churchill, Ignatius J. Reilly (Iggy), Eddie, Claude, Frankie, Vincent, Horatio, Jacques, Woody, Anselm, Etienne, Paddy, O'Malley, Paddy O'Malley, Holden, Eadwyn, Tad, Sammy, and Gale.
