Hi everyone, Millie here to tell you about everything that has been going on around here for the past week. Last Saturday we all went to the regular meet and greet for the rescue I came from, Big Dogs Big Hearts. I thought it was just to see my foster parents, but after saying hello to them I met a cute little boy dog named Walter and we hit it off right away.
Isn’t he a cutie! They say he is a boxer mix and I think his head shows it well. Right away we started playing and having a great time together. A few days later Walter and his foster mommy came to our house to visit. We played outside for a while and then I showed him the house.
Here we are with Walter’s foster mommy. She is very nice.
Walter is only about 6 months old (I will be 1 in just a couple of weeks) and that boy has lots of energy.
Today was two days since Walter and his foster mom came to visit us. This morning mom, dad and I went to a local pet store and Walter was there with his foster mommy too! Next thing I know mom was signing a bunch of forms, we went inside the store and bought some food that isn’t my brand and a new toy. After that we got back in the car to go home and Walter got in the car with us!
When we got home we all went outside and had a huge play session. I like chasing Walter and trying to herd him. Everyone thinks I’m part Australian Cattle dog so I guess I’m just doing what comes naturally. Mom took a lot of videos, but we will show you those some other day.
Walter is a pretty lovable guy and likes to give the peeps lots of kisses just like I do.
It’s fun to gang up on daddy and smother him with kisses.
Walter has some parts that are different than mine. Mom and dad have never had a boy dog before so if there are any secrets to raising a boy puppy please let them know. Mom said that Walter has had his bobblectomy already, whatever that means.
So far we are getting along great! Dad thinks we spend just a little too much time playing bitey face and chasing each other around, but I say you can never play too much.
Everyone thinks that when Walter is full grown he and I will be a similar size. Don’t you just love his one speckled paw? After mom and dad ate lunch we all went upstairs and had a little nap (very little nap). Mom said it was nice to see that little Walter could settle down for a while. Right now we (all four of us) are stretched out on our big bed while I dictate this post to mom.
Earlier tonight I was kind of wondering when Walter was going back home, but then I realized he was home! It might take a little while getting used to having a little brother, but it sure is fun having someone around to play with besides my dad. I just want to say to Walter, “Welcome home Walter, welcome home!”
Oh! What a sweetie! I am so glad you brought a new guy into the house. He looks like a fabulous mix.
I have only owned males and two raise from puppies. With the dogs I have raised and trained with for the most part I seem to find the generalizations tend to be true: the boys seem to take longer to mature. The teen months with the boys can have a lot more chest puffing boy stuff but usually they are just great companions as adults…it just might take you awhile to get there.
Get him into some dog classes and have fun! He looks high energy and I bet smart as anything.
I look forward to the updates! Sam
Oh Millie, that is wonderful. I am sure Walter is mighty happy to have a new home with you and your humans. We are so glad for you.
Love
Bert and My Vickie
Welcome Welcome Walter!!! Oh my goodness you are going to love love your new forever home. And you couldn’t ask for a better big sister. I’m looking forward to getting to know you better.
Blessings,
Goose

Oh Millie, how exciting that you have a little brother. You are so right there is no such thing as too much bitey face and zoomies. Now you have someone to play with all the time.
Welcome Walter!!!
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
OMG, you have your very own brother, Millie! We are just thrilled for you! We thought that you were going to tell us that Walter was a Puggle. We were waiting in the car with mom yesterday while dad was inside a store and a Puggle jumped out his car window and started jumping on our car to get to us. We were not far from a very busy street and mom was relieved that this story had a happy ending. WHEW!
We hope that you and Walter have a very fun Sunday, Millie!
Love ya lots,
Mitch and Molly
He is adorable and the best form of exercise is bitey faces and chasing each other around. Wish I had a new buddie to play with. You are so lucky Millie 🙂 xx0xx

What a handsome little fella! I bet the two of you will have lots of fun. Oh yeah Mum says when he starts humping your leg,(despite “bobblectomy”) don’t take offence; it’s just cos he likes you!
Hello, I was Walter’s foster grandmother while he was living with his foster parents, and i have to say that your blog made me cry. I am so happy for all of you, good luck and please plant a big kiss on Walter head for me, because that is what I did each time I saw him.
His speckled paw is the first thing I noticed! He’s adorable! I hope you both continue to get along so well!
I guess the only thing about boy dogs I know is when you are taking a picture – make sure his lipstick isn’t showing. 😉
So cute! I just love the underbite. 🙂
OMD! This is so exciting! Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome Walter Welcome! Oh y’all just made my day! 😀
Waggin at ya,
Roo
Congratulations Walter! You got lucky with your forever family. 🙂 Love his underbite and speckled paw!
Oh boy, oh boy!!! We’re so behind reading the blogs – and mom is supposed to be ironing curtains and re-hanging them … but we saw your comment on our blog and thought “Walter!?!?” We’re SO HAPPY for all of you! Isn’t having a brother GREAT!?!
Mom thinks that one freckled foot is over-the-top adorable and she keeps going SQUEEEEEE for you. I think that’s a good thing.
HAVE A BLAST together for EVER!!!!
Play bows,
Zim
We are loving Walter’s underbite! And those EARS, all floppy, fuzzy joy.
You are going to have the best time with your brother.
Congrats, Millie and family!
