Hiro Nakamura!

Hiro

hiro nakamura

isn't this my couch?

super hiro!

able to sleep! able to piddle and poo! a lot! able to attempt climbing a tall couch! able to chew walls! furniture! toys! able to run! for 5 seconds! able to sleep! snore! snuggle! and i mean SNUGGLE! he is a super Hiro! :)

Hiro, you come after one very special and remarkable dog. that would be your uncle- our Ransom. some may say it is too soon. and honestly, i feel that is true in a lot of ways. it has been bittersweet joy bringing you home. but i know that for me it will always be "too soon" as the loss of my buddy will never completely heal. but know this, little guy, you did not come to replace him. that would be impossible, as you yourself are irreplaceable as well. you are special and wonderful too! we saw that immediately and place no expectations on you except that you be the crazy, affectionate puppy you have proven to be already :) we realize in letting Ransom go that our love for him is meant to be a continuum, it is not meant to be boxed or buried or burned... except maybe as a light in our hearts.

i know that in loving you, i will come to love Ransom all the more, in new and different ways. this has already begun. and the seeds of love for you have been planted.

welcome to your new home buster. you are a true Hiro, mask and all.

    dang he is cute. Is there ever the right time to get another dog after you suffer a loss???I don't think so. The only right time is the one you decide upon! Gaaaw he is cute.

    OMG! He's absolutely adorable! And you're exactly right...it will always be too soon. But there's room in your heart for another. Ransom wants you to be happy. I think he approves. :)

    Congrats.

    I never would have thought it possible for a bulldog to be a "blur" in a picture.

    No way! I mean WOW!! He's so doggone cute! You just want to pet him and hug him and play with him and pet him again then hug him some more:0) Congratulations. You made a wise decision. Ramsom will keep an eye on him too.

    Omigosh! How cute is he! I think a new puppy is a wonderful thing. He is a adorable and looks like he will be a perfect addition to your family. (I have always felt that a home without a dog isn't truly a home.)

    I am glad that you opened your heart and home to another fella. I don't think it's ever too soon to add more love in your life. I was hoping you would get another dog sooner, rather than later, animals help us heal. And may I say that your Hiro is about the cutest puppy- coming and going and the picture of him trying to get on the couch made me squeal.
    Have fun.

    I've cried with you through Ransom's illness. I'm so glad you've got a puppy, as you say not to replace but to remember and cherish. The ultimate testament to Ransom. Congratulations, can't wait to hear about Hiro's escapades and adventures!
    With love from Wales,

    Aww how cute is he?? Congratulations on your new addition. It's never too soon to bring another pet into your home. There are so many deserving animals out there that need loving homes and this little fella looks like he fell into something really good. Enjoy.

    Congrats on your new addition! He is beautiful!
    Love the wrinkled bum while trying to get on the couch! I could scoop him up and cuddle him probably to get puppy bites while doing so!
    I agree, never a "right" time to get another love bug. But I really feel they help with healing. Enjoy!

    "some" might say to soon but "some" don't walk in your shoes and live your life. Holy smokes woman that picture of him standing up like a little man with his skin all dangly, just gets me. He is gorgeous. Congrats to you all on lots more love and healing hearts.

    Hiro is so super CUTE! He looks so full of fun and love and puppiness! Isnt' it amazing how our love for our pets is so huge that it encompasses so many in our lives. I love how you describe it as a continuum.

    Is Hiro a blood decendent of Ransome? I wish I had a blood decendent of my White.

    I just looked at the pictures again and have to comment again. Hiro's wrinkly butt as he stands up on the couch is too cute for words!!!

    Way too cute! Congrats!
    We added a puppy to our pack on June 16th and our 13 year old dog passed away on July 6th. Having the new little guy sure has helped, he has brought many laughs, smiles and healing to our house. Life! Watch out for those sharp pupy teeth.
