Meet Jasper! The New Puppy

We have a new puppy!  

And YES, I AM CRAZY!  

It just sort of happened...  

There was an auction of Cavaliers 

that I heard about through a Cavalier site 

that I follow on Instagram 

(mostly for the adorable pictures).  

They had shut down a Puppy Mill 

and they were going to auction off 100 dogs 

that the puppy mill had at their puppy farm.  

The auction was only a few hours away 

in Missouri so Miss Beaux and I talked Mr. Beaux 

into going on Saturday.  

Well as it happened, 

we didn't end up getting a puppy at the auction...  

A rescue organization 

had raised over $150,000 to buy the puppies. 

They bought 97 of them at a minimum of $3600 each!  

That was too expensive for me!  

But I guess we were supporting them 

in a way by being there.   

At least they won't go to another puppy mill 

to be over bred.  

So, we stopped at the pet store 

just to look at the puppies 

and when we walked in 

there was Little Jasper 

in the window with a sale sticker.  

The story is that he was returned 

by the family because the mother has Alzheimer's.  

They wanted to sell him quickly 

because he is 23 weeks old 

and younger puppies sell much better.  

   So we snatched him up and brought him home!  

He is crate trained and almost potty trained.  

He is very sweet and loving but active too!  

We feel like we performed 

our own little rescue 

by taking him home!  

Of course I know that our house is for sale 

and it probably is not the best time 

to get a new puppy.  

But it's like having kids... 

Is there ever a perfect time?  

All of the snuggles and puppy kisses 

are certainly worth the extra effort!

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves,
