His mom is a chocolate Lab who was found pregnant on the streets in Texas. She was taken to a "high kill" shelter there, and then rescued by a Colorado group. Hachi has been with his mom and five littermates in a Colorado foster home for about 6 weeks.
He's overwhelmed and sleepy right now so he looks very serious in his photos, except when he's sleeping.
I am crying, tears rolling down my cheeks. So happy for all of you and especially for this precious pup. Our hearts are built for rescue mix breed dogs, we have had five of them, but only one puppy, our first. Max. Hachi you already have my heart and I want to know how you got him to pose … Big needs lessons... oh gosh, I am rambling on because I am so glad you rescued him...
ReplyDeletePS, 3 of our five dogs have been lab mix...
ReplyDeleteSo happy for your family!

I have to admit, I usually don't like the idea of a Christmas puppy or kitten, or anything for the "average person." But the amount of love and devotion and so much more that you have to give, does not make you "average" And for Christmas, you have given this little boy, the best gift, you have opened your heart and home to him. I am so thrilled and happy for you!!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Hachi - Like so many, I look forward to watching your grow!
He is so lucky to have you. Looking forward to getting to know him and see him grow.
ReplyDeleteOh my pups...welcome little one!! Bless your heart and your pup mom and siblings AND THE RESCUE GROUP and Foster home. YOu my sweet one, have landed in the laps of unconditional love and your days will be filled with joy and warmth and love from now to eternity. Rest Hachi you had a big day yesterday and probably even bigger today. I look forward to seeing you interact with your Big Sis and Bro and oh one more thing
ReplyDeleteI love your markings and eyes and your NAME!!

I am a lover of names and their origins. I looked up Hachi I found this
ReplyDeleteJapanese Origin. "Eight" The meaning of the name Hachi is Eight. Is he your 8th pup?
Hugs Cecilia
Yes he is our eighth dog in our marriage. Also Hachi is the name of a very famous Japanese dog. Thank you for your enthusiasm!
