The One and Only JANGO PUPPY

After a long-anticipated wait, we finally got our new puppy, Jango.   He's our family Easter present, as we drove around 3 hours away to pick him up the day before Easter.

Sidenote:  For anyone who isn't a full-fledged "Star Wars nerd", the pup was named after Jango Fett, a Mandalorian bounty hunter who wore silver and blue armour.

Ramsey was the first to "meet" Jango.  When we arrived, there were only three of the litter left; a charcoal girl, a champagne girl, and our little boy, Jango.

We had so much fun playing with all of them.  The little champagne girl really melted our hearts.  She was SO SWEET... and fluffy... and had the face of a little angel.  If she wouldn't have already been taken, I fear I would have doled out some more cash and taken her home too! (not kidding)

Jango was very friendly and such a little sweetie when met him.  The pups were really a special litter.

I swear, Ramsey would have stayed and played "chase" with the pups all day, if he was given the opportunity.

Sidenote: Connr didn't come with us to get Jango.  He had other plans that day.  So, just the four of us coming home on this trip.

Little Jango cried a bit (about ten minutes) in the truck, then he quit.

This is how Jango acted (after the first cry session) when Eric held him and I drove:

Look at those crazy cute appendages!  We could have easily named him "Thumper" for those big long rabbit legs!

Anyhoo... and this is how Jango acted when I held him and Eric drove:

Ugh!  

Needless to say, Jango didn't stay in my lap long.  We pulled over after about 20 minutes of puppy's distress calls and I drove again.  Eric, the "puppy whisperer" took Jango onto his lap again.  And... the little guy passed out again almost immediately. 

When we got home, Jango found his new toys and settled right in.  He was rather calm for a pup... probably just a little scared or unsure of his surroundings, we thought.  (No pup is ever THAT laid back!)

Ramsey sure had fun with him.

My two littlest sweeties:

Jango took intermittnt puppy naps after bouts of play.

And he continued to melt our hearts with his cuteness!!! 

Sidenote: On May 23rd, the breeder told us that he weighed 12.5" at 7 weeks.

That evening, I slept on the couch with him, as we didn't want him to be alone or scared.  That lasted one night only - Momma got only 3 hours of sleep!   :-)

Nonetheless, our hearts are full and we're so happy to have another little furry family member in the house.
