Remaining at Apropos ....

Allow me to introduce you to Bahnsen, the puppy who stayed. He is pictured here at fourteen weeks, out on the farm. He likes to go everywhere I go and is intensely interested in all that I do.

Why did I keep Bahnsen? Well ... because he was different. I almost kept Rush (now called Kobe), because he was so incredibly like his daddy. However, I already have an Itty! Itty is a joy of joys ... but I've never had a Bahnsen before. Just for the record, I might not keep him forever ... but for now I've got the fun of training a puppy and should I not keep him, all that I will do with him between now and then will make him a blessing to whomever he does end up with permanently. I just love being a puppy's first teacher.

What's cool about Bahnsen is that he's sort of like a sports car. Until you turn the key, he doesn't run. He might idle, but he doesn't run. But all I have to do is turn him on and he's TOTALLY there, and I just love that. I think he's going to be a serious dog who also loves to play ... Itty is like that, too, serious about his play. Actually, everything is serious to Itty, and Bahnsen has a similar demeanor.

I also think he has "wise eyes".
