"There once was a puppy named Huckleberry,
Who decided he liked to eat muckleberries.
When he ran out of muck,
And the berries got stuck,
He decided to call himself:
'Bad-Luckle-Berry!' "

I have decided to devote this post to my most beloved dog, Huckleberry. :) I have had Huckleberry since late February. The Seely's dog had a batch of Puppies, and after going there every
week to get milk, and seeing the adorable rolly polly things, I fell inlove, and knew I must have one. <3
There were two Puppies left when I went to pick him out. I played around with both of them for a while, but it didn't take me long to decide which one I wanted. I had already picked out a few names for him, and gave them all a little try. I had wanted to give him a flower name, since his mother's name is Daisy. But none of them seamed quite manly enough! lol! So here is my final list of names:
Dandelion
Ragwort
Elderberry
Hezelnut
Tottergrass
Periwinkle
Canturbury
Willow
Mullberry
Thistledown
Chicory
Phlox
And of course: Huckleberry!
For the first few months Huckleberry was quite a novelty, He still is the celebrity of the house, every one loves him, and thinks he is so adorable, but those first few months he was so popular! lol! Who could resist? I know I couldn't! Heck, I still can't! lol! He just gives me those puppy eyes, and I give in! haha. I call him my "flow
er" and "baby doll" :) And he loves me so much!
Every one says that when I leave for work, he just is all mellow, and mopes around, until I get back, then he is full of energy, and licks me (we call it "give me kisses"... he does it every time I say it! lol!) We then go out side and play around for a while. :) I have been having a lot of fun trying to train him! he is pretty good too! He can sit, stay, and come....... usually. :) lol! Something funny about Huckleberry, is even as a little puppy, he always goes for the biggest stick in the yard! haha! It is funny to see Lars (our most faithful family dog <3)>
Huck love's the water! He will put his whole face in the water dish, and gurgle the water! really, he blows air into it, and it makes it all bubbly! haha! We had one of those little plastic pools outside, and we filled it up, and he just plays in it like crazy! We all get really wet, he lets you spray him with the hose, and loves taking bathes! He is so enjoyable! :) Lately if you don't keep the tub closed off, he will jump in and look at you ex
pectantly! haha! :)
Huckleberry is a Labrador, meaning he is a dog that chews, during his babyhood, he would chew on every thing, every thing had to be out of his eye level, or it was in his mouth! haha! he got my shoes, and a few of my sister's belongings! Luc goes crazy when he sees Huckleberry with Bunny, luc's precious friend and stuffed animal. lol! But we have trained him out of that, and all he does now is eat trash on the floor! haha. I keep telling him "you are what you eat, so be careful what you eat darling!" haha.
Look! even mom and dad love him! we really aren't supposed to have animals in our house, but my and dad haven't minded to much! He is just so cute! He sleeps with me, and wakes me up five times a night to go outside! But he is so cute it doesn't matter that much. I'm a softie and let him boss me around. lol!
ALL in All I just love Huckleberry so much! Me and him are best friends! Huck follows me around all the time, and I love all that devotion, and he is my baby, and I'll love him forever! I Am so thankful for him!!!!
I LOVE YOU HUCKLEBERRY!!!!!!!!
