white male consumer

A week ago, we drove to New Hampshire to look at an english bulldog that I found online. There were already a lot of applications, but we tried anyways. Didn’t get him.

On a lark, we checked out PetSmart last weekend to look at the dogs. (They have “adoption clinics” every Saturday with local SPCA dogs.)

There was a handsome black and white little 3-month-old pup. We got him.

It’s his one week anniversary today. Figured I’d finally upload the pics!

He’s a total mutt. Part basset hound (check the stubby legs, long body, and great sniffer), a little bluetick hound (look at the “tick” markings around his white), and something that gives him a mid-length, black and white coat (some sort of retriever?)

For 3 months old, he’s incredibly well-behaved. He sleeps a lot, plays hard, and has a healthy appetite.

His name is Baja. It sort of suits him – it was what the SPCA and his old foster family called him, so we kept it. He’s originally from Tennessee, rescued from a kill shelter, driven up to NY just days before we got him.

I think he’s the best dog in the world. But then I haven’t met them all so I’ll reserve judgement.
