AWWWWWWW.
So sleepy. So adorable.

Congratulations to Bob! Gus is a sweetheart.

I love puppy breath. I wish they could bottle it. Smells like a damp newspaper.
On January 7, 2009 at 9:58 am Norma said...
That looks like a lab puppy, or maybe a golden retriever. Either way, Bob’s patience and energy is about to be tested.

What a beautiful puppy, and the name suits him.
On January 7, 2009 at 11:16 am Kiersten said...
Oh my gosh, he is THE most adorable thing! I wanna love him and hold him and squeeze him and kiss him forever!
Ahem.
Congratulations Bob!

A handsome pup. He looks adorable–sweet and very smart. Oh, the joy and delight of puppies.
Congratulations to Bob!

So cute! But methinks that, like Bob, Gus would disapprove of being described as “fabulous.” I’m just sayin’.
On January 7, 2009 at 2:42 pm Rakisha said...
Oh my gosh, he is so cute and cuddly. It is raining where I am today, and seeing a picture of Gus makes me wish I were at home under the cover snuggling with a warm fuzzy puppy.
On January 7, 2009 at 2:53 pm janeth said...
oh my. cute cuddly puppy smells all in your face. Looks like Gus already has his special bed for naps and toys to chew on, so it appears they are becoming best buds.
Happy puppy days to Bob. Enjoy!

Is ‘Gus’ the new hot name for puppies? This is the 3rd puppy Gus that I have heard of recently but the other two are dachshunds. (One is actually Augustus after the character in Lonesome Dove though.)
On January 7, 2009 at 4:05 pm McB said...
I love that face! Yep, just looking at the picture makes me happy. Congrats, Bob.

What a cuddly little sweetie! How old is he? Golden Retriever, or a Labrador? I can’t tell when they are that little! And what does the existing dog (there is a German Shepherd bitch in the family, isn’t there?) think of him?

Living the puppy dream.
On January 7, 2009 at 6:42 pm Deb said...
I assume he’s Gus, just Gus. Ahem, cute booboo!
On January 7, 2009 at 6:45 pm Louis said...
Well, dogone, if that isn’t a dog!

Gus looks incredibly laid-back and very content. He will be a great companion–Labs are like that. My daughter will be all mushy over that pic–she adores Labs! I have a friend in Belgium that breeds and shows them–he even has one named after my youngest daughter (and yes she is a champion!!) so when I say Gus is a gorgeous pup I know what I am talking about–LOL!! Hope Bob has a lot of fun with his new little buddy!
On January 7, 2009 at 7:42 pm Lou said...
ADORABLE!!! And Hannah is a regal looking as Bob said she is.
On January 7, 2009 at 7:43 pm Lou said...
Oops – that’s “as” regal looking…
On January 7, 2009 at 9:17 pm tennis41 said...
ok is it just me, or does Gus look a little like Bob in that first photo? Maybe its just the ‘why are you bugging me expression’…
On January 7, 2009 at 9:51 pm GatorPerson said...
Awwwww. Gus short for Gusto? Watch out when that precious bundle of joy starts teething. Just saying. They make a softish frisbee that is a fine chew toy. Can’t be chewed up. So far.

Gus is adorable and Hannah has more patience with puppies than I do
On January 8, 2009 at 1:03 am Brenda Bradshaw said...
Holy crap! That’s about the cutest thing I’ve seen in awhile.
And it kinda hurts my brain since I think of Bob as having scary dogs, not cute and cuddly little puppies.
The mind boggles.
On January 8, 2009 at 8:18 am McB said...
And they pose for pictures!

What a cutie and destined to grow up into a big, handsome, dog. Congratulations, Bob. 10 weeks. Whew. Last summer I fostered two 7 week old lab-beagle pups. The foster kids reminded me how much work puppies are when they’re that young. I received my current two furkids — brother and sister English Cocker Spaniels — when they were 7 months old so I got to miss the “must let them out to pee every two hours” stage of housetraining.

good lord. With the photo of Gus along side the other pup (Hannah?) he looks HUGE! He will be a big boy. One of those you can call to when you fall in the well. Excellent choice, Bob.
“Gus! Go get help. I’ve fallen in the woods and wrecked my leg! Go get help boy!”
On January 8, 2009 at 11:21 am jenifer said...
I just now saw the update. Hannah is such a pretty girl! And I’m glad she hasn’t eaten Gus yet. He’s just about snack-sized, I’d say.
On January 8, 2009 at 12:26 pm Melissa Blue said...
Bob’s reputation is in the crapper now. He’s a softie under all the military ammo.
On January 8, 2009 at 1:37 pm stephanie said...
what a cutie. my best friend got a new dog over the holidays and it’s so hard not to have one especially when you see a little guy like Gus and remember the snuggles and the naps. I’ve conveniently forgotten the chewing, etc, that goes along with puppyhood.
On January 8, 2009 at 2:42 pm RfP said...
I bet Gus would like Braunschweiger.
On January 8, 2009 at 2:52 pm inkgrrl said...
OMG he’s an Angus clone – the cute!!
On January 8, 2009 at 6:25 pm colognegrrl said...
Born on election day. I’d call that a symbol. For what, I’ll leave up to Bob.
On January 8, 2009 at 6:42 pm Eve said...
adopted or breeder?
On January 8, 2009 at 7:30 pm Sheri said...
Hannah is gorgeous! OMG! She looks like a bigger version of my Pom puppy, Jazz–Jazz doesn’t have the full Pomeranian coat yet and she is the same color… Aren’t they wonderful together? They are going to have SO much fun!
On January 8, 2009 at 8:37 pm lady t said...
Cute!
On January 8, 2009 at 9:30 pm Ericka said...
hmm. puppies. after the demon kitten from hell destroyed my apartment, i swore off baby animals. hannah is beautiful!
On January 8, 2009 at 10:09 pm Shoshana said...
This makes perfect sense. Only someone like Bob, with all that military training, could possibly withstand Puppy Eyes, so of course he gets one!
And, yep, those are some pretty cute puppy eyes.
On January 9, 2009 at 12:27 pm Marta said...
Hannah has that proud, “Yes, we talked it over and decided to adopt” look on her face.
On January 9, 2009 at 7:43 pm Door Cty Bound Cherry said...
The sweetest dogs in the world. Having one for only 13 years was way too short a time. They are the best…
On January 10, 2009 at 9:24 pm Jade said...
As someone said above, Hannah does look regal. Lovely dog! Beautiful coloring. Didn’t see her picture here when I commented before.
