Welcome Magellan!
Monday, February 25th, 2008

Welcome the newest addition to the Temptalia family! His name is Magellan (yes, after the explorer), and he is nine weeks old today! We’ve had him for just over a week now, and I couldn’t resist sharing. He is a yellow labrador retriever, and he weighs about ten pounds right now. I’m photo-documenting his journey to full-size so we can track how fast he grows!
More photos (duh!) if you want to see…

Hi Christine! he is adorable, squeezable, uber-cute! You should send his pics to those guys in http://wwww.dailypuppy.com It's a super-cute website with wonderful pics of puppies all over the world. He will be a success there and get lots of virtual cookies! It's where I go for my local dose of puppiness! Thanks for posting these wonderful pics! Talk to you soon! a.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh he is soooooooooooooooooo damn sweet :-D Thx very much for sharing Christine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always wanted a Golden Retriever like Him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
awwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!! hi little guy! Hi magellan! Don't go gettin into mommy's makeup ok even if its super pretty she'll put ur cute little furry butt on ebay before u can say oops sorry! lol christine he is tooooooo cute!
Yipeeeeeeeeeee he is ADORABLE! Please kiss him on his cute lil nose on my behalf...he must be keeping you on your toes right now. I showed his pics to my husband and he melted off the couch! Truly a gift from God - dogs are amazing. As much care, or even more, as babies need - but so rewarding. Please keep us updated on what he's doing and how he looks - he's soon going to grow into an awkward period (just like us) - into a "teen".
LOL! Oh, he definitely keeps us on our toes. He is always underfoot! We definitely will :) He already put on four pounds in the space of a week!

HIS NAME IS POOKS BUT MY FAMILY REALLY CALLS HIM NINO (BABY, BUT IN SPANISH AND W/O THE TILDE OR HOW EVER YOU SPELL IT) AND BELLO PRECIOSO lol!
Cuuuuute! Aw I remember the novelty of a new puppy (til' she ate my fave eyeshadow brush) enjoy! I'm a sucker for "critters," my family used to call me Ellie Mae when I was little lol.
OMG. I LOVE HIM. He is SO cute!!!! I love puppies and that is one beautiful little guy. Awwwwwww. Try not to cover him in makeup, girl. ahah
awwww super cute. It makes me think back to when my dog was that small. I need to get a new puppy now. Congrats on your new fam. member.
Oh, yellow labs are my favorite! When I get one, I will call her "Honey." Actually, I love animals in general, and even if my sister and I share a 2-bedroom apartment, we have managed to keep two cats, two chihuahuas, two snakes and a box turtle. =)
