The new puppy

[Lose the beard]

We lost one of our boxers unexpectantly in November, and had settled on the idea of only having the one dog for a while. Then all of a sudden a bitch got handed in to the rescue full of pups. My wife couldn't resist when a little Red Boxer boy was born.

Here he is, he is 5 weeks old so we will be bringing him home in a few weeks time.

This is Rebus, named after the grumpy Scottish detective.

Now that is a cute looking dog. SWMBO is after another Cocker Spaniel this year after our holiday. We had one a while ago, Barney the Jack Russell / Beagle needs a pal.

How cute! In Latin Rebus means "things" and it is the plural or Rex (also a tv detective)

Looks like nice pups! I've got some found memories from Boxers when I was a kid, cheerful rascals and you could always count on some escapade, or the other

What a lovely set of puppies! Glad to see Oscar coming on so well, Jamie. What a cracking beastie! It's bloody awful losing a dog and despite what decisions we make, providence sometimes comes up with its own answers. Great story, LTB.

Oscar looks fantastic, he is doing really well. Can't wait to bring Rebus home. We keep telling Molly she is going to have a baby brother, she doesn't seem impressed.

Forgot to say what a great name Rebus is. Never heard of a dog called that before.

We like to be different, our previous pair were Morse and Lewis.

Was Lewis always having to get the round in? My wife had three guinea pigs a few years ago - brothers and never separated from birth. I wanted to call them Foggy, Clegg and Compo but strangely she didn't fancy it. I've always wanted to call a dog Beecham after the late great conductor Sir Thomas, but never had either a dog that suited it or the balls to actually call the poor bugger that. Next one will be called George after Mr Formby.
