Maddie Loves Bodhi !

& Bodhi Loves Maddie !

After much thought and talk with friends and family and meeting the new little guy - the new little guy shall be called Bodhi:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodhi

He was going to be Barkley during the whole drive down to pick him out. But when we picked him out - his name was not Barkley. But after many suggestions from Ed and Kim and Cheryl on Friday evening - none of which ended up being his name - I realized that his name is Bodhi.

He is a bit of a different puppy than was Maddie. He is the same age that she was when she came home but he is much smaller. She was 16 pounds and he was/is about 9 pounds. His birth parents are about the same weight as Maddie - about 70 pounds - but they are both considerably shorter and stockier than Maddie and her parents. So I expect that he will be shorter and stockier as well.

Her birth parents are Onyx [black] and Grace [yellow].
His birth parents are Elvis [chocolate] and Pryscilla [chocolate].

All four parents are AKC registered - and Maddie and Bodhi are both eligible for full registration - but I do not plan to register them with the AKC. They are special enough as it is - this will not do anything to enhance that!
