There is a list in my kitchen of possible names for the new pup. Radar, Wilbur, Basil Fawlty, Finnegan, Toby Flenderson, Grizzly Adams, Vedder, Weegee, Quinn, David Bowie, Andre, Elvis, Fezzik, are just some on the board. At some point, Dan added Gus. Now Josie’s full name is Josephina Smalls the Great, so we had spice up ‘Gus’ if it was to be used to keep the grand gesture. Prince was considered, Prince Gustofer Fezzik the Giant, Prince seemed too much so it was changed to Sir, Gustofer – which we might have made up- was changed to Argus. Argus is when it all came together. Argus is a camera. One of which I have proudly displayed in my house, it was my Grandfather’s camera, an Argus C3 Range Finder from the 50’s. Dan gets to keep his first choice of Gus, I get to tie it to photography, and a prop for a puppy photo shoot is set. So today, Argus and the Argus went to the studio for some shots. Like his sister, he is a natural poser, when he is not falling off the box backward. Here we have Sir Argus Fezzik the Giant, weighing in just over 15lbs at 8.5 weeks old and his namesake, Gramp’s 60+ year-old camera, nicknamed The Brick, weighing in at 1.6lbs.

So those who have a second kid know the deal, kid one, tons of photos, second kid, fewer photos. Josie was at the studio within one hour of coming home. I hope to get Gus there tomorrow. I promise to get more photo this week.

Sir Argus Fezzic the Giant joined the family today, and there were nothing but smiles all day long. Josie took a bit to warm up to him, but the afternoon she was checking on him, teasing him to play and teaching him the best spot to dig. Tomorrow, Argus will make it to the studio for his first session.

Two years ago, today, we brought Josie home, the last thing the breeder said to us was, “call me when you are ready for the second one.” We laughed… and now here we are, picking out Berner number two – Sir Argus Fezzic the Giant, ‘Gus’. Gus is 5 weeks old, he will be coming home mid-May. We had two males to choose from, it was hard yet easy. We could not go wrong, but Gus was ready the second I saw him, the rest of the fmaily came to the conclusion fairly quick. Josie and Gus have the same dad, their Uncle Kash, who we met 2 years back was there too, giving everyone hugs. Now we wait, and try to explain to Josie how she will still be important just not an only ‘child’, I was about the same age when my sister showed up, I know how this works.
