Welcome [MENTION=1748]FridayGt[/MENTION],,,,,, Just want to say THANK YOU!!!!!

oh, and I like "Stogie" ;)
Stogie is kind of growing on me too the more and more I hear it! lol. We'll just have to see what name fits him the best on the trips we make to visit him before bringing him home. If we do pick that one though, I'll have to stop calling my cigars that... hahaha.

Welcome. Look forward to hearing how it goes picking up your puppy oh and pictures...looking forward to seeing pics!
Oh pics will be a plenty!!! Especially since I'll have plenty of at home time with him when he first gets home.

I second that, stogie is adorable! :) Welcome to the board and again thank you SO much for keeping our country free and allowing all of us to enjoy the easier life. So glad to see you will be coming home and with a new pup even, wow! Oh and I love your feather baby also, how cute!!! As far as food tips i think you have gotten a fair share of them already. Their nutrition is a never ending learning process thats for sure. Canned pumpkin is a household must also. Not the pie filling but the 100% pure canned pumpkin that is usually on the veggie aisle in the store. It can be hard to come by later in the year so you may wanna stock up on it a bit if you can. 1 tbsp a day for full grown pups helps to keep them regular and if they get the runs it will help to firm them up quick which with a bully is important. You will learn that bully butts can be messy when it comes to :poo: and when it is runny it is a disaster. :crazy: As far as crates go I am not help since my boys were thrown into bed with us from day 1 pretty much but [MENTION=530]LisaRN[/MENTION] has a great idea for a crate and how to use it with a new pup. Oh and for food use a metal or ceramic feeding and water bowl as the plastic can cause pimples. Cant think of anything else off hand but there is a million other things we can add I am sure. Cant wait to see your baby, the pics you posted are beautiful and I too LOVE the markings!

You mentioned another surprise when you get home any clues? :D
Thank you for your appreciation and tips! I'm defenitely hoping that he doesn't have too bad a tail, it would just make life easier, that's for sure. I'll definitely have to stock up on pumpkin. Hmmm... I would discuss the secret... but as I've pretty well identified myself with pictures, you all may just have to wait on the off chance she finds her way here as well! lol.

Ok, hopefully I'm not going overboard with the pictures, but the breeder sent us some more photo's and I am just freaking out excited!!! She said that this is a fat and big litter so we won't see any eyes opening until the 25th at the earliest. That belly is just screaming out for rubs and rasberries! I haven't been able to see the right side of his face too well in the pictures just yet, but it appears as though he has spots on both sides of his face that look like they'll at least partially cover the eyes. I'm no expert, so I can't tell if he's going to have a low maintenance tail or not yet. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears as though, with a belly and a Poonum like that, he will be excellent at hanging out in the Man cave with me... lol.

To be honest, the cutest picture she sent today was the picture of our new little guy snoozing with all of his litter mates, but not sure that posting that one would be cool as everyone else's pups are in it as well.

Alright, well, you asked for it!!! Prepare yourself for the uber cuteness overload! Our little guy is the one obnoxiously sprawled out in the middle... that spells sleeping trouble at the foot of my bed... lol.

Yeah, I am really very, very greatful the breeder is being so great with us. She's made a lot of effort to help us out. It's our first time going through a breeder as all of my previous pups have been shelter babies, and has been incredibly accomodating. That littermate pic has got to be about the cutest thing in the world! lol

Oh my ... now that is serious cuteness overload. I love the way he's using that special Ninja trick of pretending he's asleep when actually he's a raw bundle of tensed energy waiting to make his Ninja stealth attack!

Welcome!! And YES my favorite name is Ninja .. it's the irony of Ninja and a snoring, farting, eating, sleeping bulldog that gets me! :lol:

Yes! I'm so freaking excited, and I really think this is the cutest dang picture yet! lol. His eyed should be open by now, so hopefully I'll have some more pictures soon.

Hahaha, that's what I loved about that name! We'll see though, we've got to meet the little fella first and get an idea of his personality before we pick the name. The Lady of the house will be going to visit next weekend again, but he'll only be about 3 1/2 weeks old, so not much personality by then.
