...or Mr. Wuggums until he grows into his name. Isn't he adorable?
Zander is Kai's brother, but from another litter. It was about a year ago that we brought Kai home...and now we are thrilled to have two curly tailed bear killers in the house. She thought her little brother was amazing.
There was a lot of sniffing going on...and then he kinda just passed out.
Its a lot of work being so cute.
Zander came to us like almost all our furry friends - just a lucky happenstance... or as I'd like to think, by a divine appointment. I just so happened to send the folks we got Kai from a note on her birthday telling them how much we loved her. And they just happened to have another litter of puppies....and we just happened to receive a little bit of money from heaven.... and the only pup that was available was named Zander. Which just happens to be my all time favorite dog name. And it didnt hurt that little Zander is (mostly) black and some white - just like a lot of our critters. We laughed and asked if we could see him. And then today we brought him home.
He's going to be huge. He's already bigger than Kai was at this age - and his paws are enormous. But we like 'em big so we are really excited. And we are just weak in the knees at his cuteness. Right now Dog#2 is "watching the puppy" which will be his job. Dog#1 and Kai are with The Big Man, reinforcing their alpha status. We are going to have to manage this dog pack to maintain order.. but my friend SD has been giving me a great tutorial for keeping the peace.
Zander's name is a mouthful for sure. But you ancient military history nerds already know who he's named after two of the greatest miltary leaders of all time - Alexander the Great and Hannibal (of Carthage). The "BoneCrusher" is just cool. Sure Zander is a misspelling..but thats OK because I like Z names. And no, not Hannibal Lecter of that ridiculous movie about the screaming sheep. Seriously, what could be better than the general who marched war elephants over the Alps to take on Rome? That guy had some 'hell yeah' for sure... just like our little guy is going to have one day.
But for now he's just going to be cute and we are gonna get all the puppy snuggles we can. Welcome to the team, Zander, we're sure glad you're here!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Ok, you're starting to weird me out. The boy name I picked out when we were thinking of adopting was Zander. Pretty much all of our pets are black and white... You're like my evil twin! Haha, couldn't resist. Check out my blog and see the pics of my goat girls so far. There's even pics of the deer wrasslin'. tilton1823.blogspot.com
