The Cubs still lost, but we love our Wrigley

10-07-2008

After months of going back and forth, my husband and I ifnally went for it and got a dog. We had both been raised with them and have many friends with dogs of their own.

Presenting our puppy Wrigley (name decided way before the Cubs made a run towards the playoffs, and they lost the first game the day we picked him out... oh well).

We got him at a rescue shelter out in the country from someone who has done it for 20 years. His mom is full blood golden retriever and his dad is a Spaniel (Springer)/Lab/Basset mix. We saw pics of the parents and they are adorable and she said very sweet. We think he will be a short furry basset/retriever look.

Wrigley was one of 7 pups- some golden, some black/white... and our pup... a mix of all:

Oh hiiiiiiiiii!!!

He is pretty mellow - gets excited and nips of course but very chill.

Very cute puppy! While I'm a Cardinals fan, I do think Wrigley is an awesome name for a pup. I would have thought Wrigley was some type of shepherd with those colors! Looks like you guys found yourself a great companion.
