Welcome Home Archie!

Good Morning Everyone!

Archie is home!

We had a magical day yesterday bringing him home.

The drive was 13 hours total (6.5 hours each way) to our wonderful breeders, Kim & Kriss at Tug at YurHart , but it felt like we were riding on a cloud.


The photo above of baby Archie was the very first I took!

He is 8 weeks old and weighs about 4.5 lbs. :)

The most amazing thing happened when we first met.

He ran thru his doggy door, sat at my feet, threw back his head and sang just like Emmitt.

I know that was emmitt giving me a huge happy hug and kiss!


I did not realize we got a video of it until this morning...



Archie singing his first song!


Our first hello!


I held him the whole way home on my lap...


While he slept and slept and slept!


Welcome home sweet Archie!



Hi everyone!


It is me!


Archie!

I cannot wait to play with all of you!


Please leave me a note and say hello!


I am really good at making new friends!

I was moved to tears when I watched this...I am so happy for you and Archie is just going to be amazing! I read in the book "You Had Me at Woof" that we don't find our dogs...they find us. I believe this to be true. Archie knows...Thank you for sharing this sweet video.

Hellooooo Archie!

We're so happy and honored to meet you. You're just a bundle of pug goodness. Mommy even says you are "delicious" - don't worry, we don't think it means she will try to eat you all up! But if she saw you in person she might give you lots of kisses - like we would!

Welcome home!

Melissa, this just brings tears to my eyes! It's like the circle of life and Emmitt is with all of us by passing on his unforgettable roo roo roos to Archie. I'm so happy for all of you.

I remember when we drove from CA to UT to pick up Stella. It was an all day drive but it felt like minutes because we had our Stella. :)

Love,
Shannon and the Smushie

Welcome, welcome, welcome to Arhie from Quincy, Elliot, Ruby and Forrest. His sweet baby song was surely sent by Emmitt. Thank you for sharing your joy with all of us in pictures and videos. Have a wonderful weekend and many years to come getting to know each other. I was surprised you found a new baby so quickly, but clearly it was meant to be. He was the one Emmitt sent just for you.

I asm so thrilled for you and Fred...little Archie is the cutest. This is a wonderful age too, I remember we brought Orchid home at 8 weeks old. Enjoy this time, what fun to have a sweet puppy again.

Hello Archie! I love the video of you singing, it really did sound just like Angel Emmitt!!

You know, I always tell people that I will never own another puppy - that they are too much work and need too much attention, etc etc.....then you see these pictures of Archie and your heart just melts and I think . . . hmmm.....maybe just one more puppy!
