New Family Member ~ Angus

Today we found out that we have been approved to adopt Angus ~ a 12 week old wheaten scottish terrier puppy! We found this guy on petfinder, an online adoption site. One of my best friends and a scottie lover too, also applied for Angus ~ neither of us knew the other had applied until I got a phone message from my friend asking me to be her reference! Luckily for us, Angus has a sister ~ actually he has two sisters ~ a wheaten (Victoria) and a black scottie(Kathleen), so we are both getting a new puppy! I can't wait ~ we pick them up this Saturday!

Speck does not know he is getting a brother yet ~ or maybe he does ~ I think there may be a knowing look in his eyes..... Stay tuned, I will post some more photos later!

I'm open for name suggestions ~ while I do like Angus as a name, I had a scottie named Angus when I was a kid, so I feel like we need a fresh name! Let me know what you think?! So far we have all sorts.... Sprocket, Sputnik, Zero, White Tornado, Honky (not very PC - but funny!), Haggis, Argyle....

I have two Scotties.....and also sell crochet on Etsy! My son has a wheaten Scottie I refer to as the blond bombshell ;-)Your blog is delightful. I look forward to exploring it. Come over to my blog--I'd love to meet you.

Lallee said...: Just wanted to say hello again after your visit. I will be stalking your blog until I see your new baby again ;-) My son's wheaten was also a puppy rescue. May I add your blog to my list of favorites on my blog? I'd be glad to do a post about it too if you like

The Scottish Terrier and Dog News has a long list of Scottie name suggestions for you.

And if your new boy has an interesting rescue story, Scottie News would love to hear it.; July 16, 2008 at 1:05:00 PM CDT
Duncki said...: Congrats on the new Scott! Having access to your pup's litter mate will be fun. Our Duncan's brother "Ritter" is a regular guest in our home -- sometimes even staying overnight. The boys have a great time together. Take and share plenty of pix.; July 20, 2008 at 3:26:00 PM CDT
