my new puppy

I have a new puppy and he is so so perfect!! We hadn't decided on a name for him his first few days in our home, and we resorted to calling him puppy, which he has accepted as him name. Though, he is now our little Idefix or Eddie as we will most usually call him as we are worried that his name, taken from a puppy in the French comic book Asterix, may be confusing to those not familiar with its inspiration. Anyways, he is the cutest, has the greatest personality, and is already my new best friend. The Cronquists really have good luck with dogs, don't we?

So, a little about my little guy Eddie.

Only an hour after me and Eddie had met and we were already in love. But, I mean look at that little guy. How could you NOT be in love!! 

Eddie was pretty tentative about the grass when we first let him outside. After 12 weeks of experiencing only the indoors and a back porch, this stuff was a little weird. Though, he has become a fast fan of chewing grass, rolling in grass, romping through the grass, etc. 

Eddie and I have grown accustomed to taking naps together. This is probably an absolutely terrible habit that I am forming in him. I guess I have no one to blame but myself that I had to get up with him every few hours last night to help him go back to sleep. What can I say? We both like to snuggle. 

Another favorite activity of ours is playing outside together. We love love love romping in the sunshine. 

I've always grown up with a dog in the house, so the last few months without our sweetie Blizzard have been tough. It's nice to have someone following me around again and greeting me at the door. Eddie is by no means a replacement for the love we had for out last dog, but a whole new creature to spend our time adoring. Animals are such an incredible gift to the world and Eddie is already filling my life with laughs and joy. (But seriously, this dog cracks me up all the time, he is a ham.)

Here's to the newest member of our family and years of enjoying each others snuggles. 

peace. love. and puppies.
