Bosco has moved in with us!
The breeder called this morning to tell us that the puppies had been examined by their veterinarian, and all pronounced fit to move in with their new families.
When we arrived at the Diehl home, after scrubbing with antibacterial soap at Lisa's insistence, we were allowed into the Puppy Presence. There was no way to choose. They were all perfect. If we
had had last choice, instead of first, it would have been much easier!
Finally narrowing the candidates to two, we took Casper and Jekyll into the living room and played with them for awhile before finally settling on Casper. With the fitting of his new collar with the "Bosco" name tag, it became official.
The drive home from Hemet, in early evening rush hour traffic, took over an hour. Bosco slept practically the whole time, nestled in Marguerite's lap, rousing only occasionally to look around, grin, yawn, wag, and flop back down.
At home, he was introduced to his new back yard, family room, kitchen, and crate bed. He took to everything like it was his own. Here he is shown in his daytime lounging spot in the family room, which he has clearly taken over without a second thought.
He's sleeping a lot, which isn't surprising, since he has been on the go since early this morning with a visit to the vet's, people poking him, peeking at him, and playing with him all afternoon, a long car ride, and a whole new world to begin exploring. It has been an exhausting day for a six week-old Labrador!
