Eight weeks and one day old. A bit scarred at everything that is new, but basically, we’re having a good time. I’m oh, so happy. Link to pics in the www below this post. Text in Swedish _and_ English. Wish us luck, fellow dopers! ---

Yaay! Puppies are neat. I just moved into a new apartment where pets are allowed, so I can finally have a puppy. ---

Oh my, he’s -soooo- cute!!! 😃 In a couple of pictures, he looks just like a fluffy wuffy puppy! He’s a boxer? I’ve only seen the tan boxers, but his color is beautiful. From the size of his paws, though, he’s going to be a BIG BOY! Have fun, he really does look like a cutie! 🙂 ---

Biggest of his siblings. And yes, His paws are a give-away. He’s gonna be maybe 80lbs of doggy. I really like that there´s no docking of tail or fixing the ears. Boxers look mean, when that’s done. And they’re really very nice dogs. Thanks all. He’s sleeping on my foot right now, under the desk in the den. ---

Will you look at the size of those feet? And I think it’s great that his ears and tail remain unclipped. I’m not usually too PC, but I think it’s barbaric to cut dogs that way. Awwww, such a sweet puppy! Yes you are, yes you are! ---

Monday morning update - not surprising, he’s weird. But then, so are _all_ boxers. I’ve just seen him stalking his food bowl, just before pouncing it. There are a lot of kids in my apt.building and he loves kids. That’s very nice. He played with a full grown german shepherd yesterday, and when the shepherd got to intense, my little pup told him off. Yay for him. ---
