Forgive my amateur attempts at posting a photo album please. It’s my first try at that…as I’m all about the words and less about the pictures….but I had to try to share our new baby love:)
We adopted Bullitt from the local Rescue. He’s 7 months old and a real lover-boy!! He is not offcially “ours” as we actually adopted him on behalf of my ex husband (babies’ daddy) to bring out with us on our big move out west next week (!!!) However, I’ve my doubts as to this happening once we arrive… Bullitt has become so maternally attached and dependent on me, like a 2 year old with serious separation anxiety issues, and I’m uncertain as to how the tranferrence of families will go for him. He whimpers and cries so heart-breakingly when I’m out of his sight…. He just may not accept the situation. He’s beautiful, he’s sweet, he’s loyal and protective, and he’s also quite a handful and a real PITA at times too…but his love is so endearing and unbelievably devoted that he’s worth every hassle….and this is coming from the lady who has always considered herself a “cat whisperer”…total connection to the feline family is just my nature. Cats and I are like one entity..they just look much somewhat different than I. However this little adoption time has opened my eyes to dog ownership and perhaps will even help in my ability to allow relationships with humans closer than I tend to…. ?? Although it’s a big responsibility and 24/7 care-taking, my heart is opening wider through this than I can recall in a very, very long time. Dare I say it???? Ummm….I trust him! There…it’s said out loud”. I really do.
It’s interesting how a dog’s personality is slowly having a huge affect on mine…hehe:-)
He’s beautiful and wonderful!!! We are madly in love with him..challenges and all!!
I feel absolutely certain there will be more Bullitt stories to come, as I could fill a blog with them already after only three weeks!!

Wow!! I love you album! Bullitt is a great name. He sounds a lot like my girl was when I first got her. I’ve only spent one night away from her in four years! Maybe I need a life!
One thing I do know is that dogs are like young children and they get pretty testy in a move. You might want to be prepared. Buy some toys and large (safe) bones for him. And lots of dogkisses will help.
Thanks for sharing your album.
My girl was scared of everything at first as she had obviously been abused. She won’t dare get into the water at the lake nearby but we took her to the ocean once and she charged into the waves, pulling us. There was a storm so I wasn’t about to go in under those conditions. My son and her though, they were going in, until I stopped them! Neither of them were very happy with me but they got over it. I just thought it strange that those huge waves didn’t scare her but she will jump at the drop of a hat at times.
Also, I nearly changed my blog to this theme the first day it came out. I like it.
I hope you have a wonderful day. Thanks again for sharing the beautiful photos! I look forward to more Bullitt stories!

Thank you!!!! Been changing themes a lot bc none felt really “right”….but this one is SOOOOOOO perfectly ME…and I’m just delighted with it:) I don’t think I could have created myself a more perfect fit for my personality than this one:) LOVE it!!
Yes, I’m a little concerned about the move’s effect on Bullitt….he’s still very sensitive and a little shy..I think it’s going to be quite an experience. He’s flying with us though..so at least it will be a few hours instead of two days traveling..cross your fingers he handles it w/o major devastation!!

Your dog gallery is great! And your right, dogs have very distinct personalities and that can really shape and develop.

Thank you Dogs You Love!!! I’m glad you enjoyed them!! Bullitt is certainly a very fun and comical model for photography!! I think he might have been a circus performer in another past life:-)~
