And My New Puppy's Name is....

Dah Dah Dah....Yoshi. I called him James, Lawrence, Benny, Barney, but I have settled on Yoshi. Yes, Yoshi the same name as the little dinosaur guy from the Nintendo games. Why Yoshi you ask? Probably because it's a bit on the different side for dog names.

It's seem like on an hourly basis that Yoshi isn't only shitting and pissing, but he's also showing more of his personality and getting more comfortable. Like this morning he was jumping at Herbie trying to get him to play. Herbie being the gentle sole he is got right into playing stance but never went back at Yoshi. Yoshi also is starting to play with the cats as well, like today he put both paws on the black cats side until she ran away. Yoshi is quickly becoming a crazy little man like Mr. Bill Kutters.

On a side note I have setup my side project blog, which is SDFoodGuys.com. It's a blog that reviews restaurants in the San Diego area and beyond. I have me and about 4 other people who will be writing reviews on different restaurants in the area. I got the idea for this site after writing a blog on my website for "5 Great Places To Eat in San Diego". I know everytime I search Google it seems that there are never any reviews or good reviews for most restaurants that I want to try. Plus this site will be in blog format so people that visit the site can comment. If you live in the San Diego area and want to write some reviews shoot me an email to SDFoodGuys@gmail.com.

Help Name My NEW Mini-Schnauzer Puppy!

New Puppy New Puppy Sleeping Puppy Sleeping Baby New Puppy Dad Sleeping Model Schnauzer Rawhide Baby Rawhide Puppy Pupa & his Grandson Interacting Schnauzers My Newest Baby

I broke down finally and got a NEW Mini-Schnauzer Puppy. The puppy is a boy. I know I said I wanted to get a girl, but this guy was just too cute. He comes when you call him, he plays for like 10 minutes then needs a 20 minute nap, he adores food & loves his picture taken.

I found out about him from the Fox6.com website. I called the ad and asked if it was OK to visit the puppy, the guy said yes so Emily and I headed down. Their were two puppies left both boys. One puppy was very shy, unresponsive & not lively. Then there was the puppy I chose who was running all over the house, but when called would come to you. I was hooked, but Emily convinced me to sleep on it and decide tomorrow. Tomorrow is today and I made my final decision to pick up my new little man. We went down to pick him up right as the New England Patriots beat the San Diego Chargers (woohoo).

Since being at my house it took him all of 30 minutes to fully get comfortable and start running around the house. Herbie has been awesome, so good in fact that he hasn't growled or done anything aggressive to the puppy at all. The puppy almost went poops on the bed, but Emily saw him as he got into the pooping position and we rushed him outside where he defocated with perfection.

Finally what this blog is all about, what do I name my new little man? I've called him "Benny" & "Barney", but nothing is set in stone. In fact my mom emailed two emails with 10 names in each email. Give me your suggestions and let me know what you like!!!
