Angus's First Night

He is here!!

Last night we drove to Perth to pick up Angus from Bob as it just wasn't going to work on the weekend. We were expecting him to cry all night but we put his box next to our bed and he slept the whole night! Today he has been a bit unsure of everything and has been shaking a bit. I hope it is not too long before he feels at home here. I took him outside this morning for a run in the backyard...he was so cute exploring the backyard. Here are his first photos here with us.

Meeting Angus

Today Murray, Bree and I drove to Perth to pick up Yvonne and Cody from the airport for their holiday so we went and visited Angus. He is 6 weeks old now and so cuddly and beautiful. We are hoping to pick Angus up next Saturday depending on the vet check and if he is ready to be released. Here are some photos...

Ruby & Axle

Meet Ruby and Axle...Angus's parents. Aren't they amazing. This will give you an idea of what Angus will grow to look like.

Angus's Parents:

Dam: Artcoast 'Ruby'

Sire: Carlberry Gold Waves aka 'Axle'

.

Ruby's Parents :

Dam: Hexenhaus Nina aka 'Ali'

Sire: Hexenhaus aka 'Mako'

.

Axle's Parents:

Dam: Carlberry Gold at Chynae

Sire: Carlberry Ripp Tide

Here he is...

This morning we woke to lots of photos of Angus. Here is our boy....

And we are picking him up on Saturday the 7th of June...yay! He is the smallest of the litter and he was nicknamed Steve from the Great Escape as he was the first over the ramp of the whelping box.

We're getting a puppy!!

Well it seems that our wait for 'family member number 6' is finally over. For the past year we have been in search for a dog, looking into Aussie Bulldogs mostly, but the price tag of $1500 has been unreachable for us. This week we found an add for Boxer pups and after emailing Bulldog Bob back and forth we are going to get a little boy named ANGUS! Why Angus you ask...well, as some of you may know Murray's 'role model' at the moment is Angus Buchan from South Africa. He has written the book 'Faith Like Potatoes' and Murray recently attended one of his Mighty Men's Conferences in Perth...so Mighty Angus it is! When Murray and I were first married 12 years ago his desire was to own a boxer, but thought they were too big for small toddlers. But now the girls are older and able to stand more firmly we are going for it.
I will upload a photo of Angus when Bob sends us one by himself. He is from a litter of 8 gorgeous pups.
We should be picking Angus up from Perth around the 21st of June and he will be 10 weeks old.
On this blog I will be posting the latest news, photos and videos of Angus...I know it may seem a little crazy to have a blog just for Angus, but he is going to be a very loved boy and he deserves it...don't laugh!
Bye for now
