He's gett'n big

Our 3 pound puppy is not so tiny anymore! We were told he would be between 6 & 8 pounds. Well, he's 5 months old and weighs 8.5 already! I think he's taking after his poodle mama. Yes, he is a Yorkipoo, not just a Yorkie.
I was asked what we named him. Oh my, that took days...it's serious business y'all. Thinking that Yorkies are from the UK I thought an English or Irish name would be fitting, such as: Oliver, Murphy, Brody, Monty, Conley, Brady, Tanner...y'all get the idea. Then we talked about names because he's little: (mini) Cooper or Tim bit/Timmy (OH Canada!) from Tim Hortons which we loved in Michigan. His original nickname is Little Bit, which we still call him from time to time. Sissy liked Toby. SO many names. Funny thing, I had a ton more picked out, but they were all GIRL names thinking we'd be getting a female puppy. God had this little fella hand picked for us and he suits us just fine.
OH...his name?

We were on our way to the park and Little Man had him ready to go. I thought it was precious how he wanted BENJI to be buckled up just like he was. I took his picture and then explained why keeping Benji this way was not a good idea. Benji sat right between the kids the entire drive...an entire 12 minutes. What a good boy! I think he's gonna be a good little traveler. (Yep, the kids choose Benji...then weeks later they realized it was the same name of a dog in a movie. Funny, to me Benji and dog are synonymous.)

Our Christmas puppy!

For some reason the puppy liked sleeping in this door way. I thought it was odd, because it's an over sized door way into the kitchen from the formal areas. Little Man thought he looked cold, so he got his quilt off his bed and snuggled him up right there on the floor.

Is this little fella not precious, or what y'all ??? He's stolen our hearts.

Here he is now a massive 5.2 lbs. at 3 months old. He goes to the Vet next week for another round of puppy shots. It will be fun to see what he weighs. We were told he should be between 6 & 8 pounds fully grown...we shall see.
