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…
@ Eight Weeks
@ Nine Weeks
awwww.. he is soooo adorable!
wishing you guys luck, and tons of patience. lol
Thank you!
I have the patience, fortunately, LOL.
i want to nom his ears off………..
reminds me of my black lab…….had her for 14 years
ugh there was supposed to be a picture of my pooch here, but my HTML skills are no good
lol!
Aww, I bet she was an amazing dog
My dog (who resides with my parents and loves them way more) is entering his 16th (!!) year.
aaaaahhhhhh!!!! Magellan is soooo cute! I see someone is a history-buff! christine! : P hehe – love the picture where he is lying on the couch and had his eyes closed and open.
update pls on the growth!
lol, just a bit, not too much
Definitely will!
so sweet! be happy together! (hopefully you are not too attached to your shoes, because he will get to them, however good you try to protect them, he WILL get to them! I know what I´m talking about! ;D)
LOL, we watch him constantly. We haven’t lost anything yet, thankfully!
Besides, all my good shoes are in boxes!
I LOVE HIM TO BITS!!!!!!!
You’re not alone, lol!
He’s so cute, Christine. Congratulations, and keep us updated!
Thanks, Kristen! I will
Awwww I have a lab but now he’s all big and dumb lol like seriously he’s like wild but I love him though very cute puppy! ♥
lol, they’re not supposed to be dumb, I bet he’s still cute though
OMG he’s so cute!! If I didn’t have a toddler running around the house, I would seriously consider getting a lab…they are the cutest puppies ever!
LOL, oh god, if I wasn’t already convinced, he DEFINITELY convinced me “no kids!”
At 21 I was quite as convinced, eleven years on I have a one year old and hope to get pregnant again soon!
Congrats
Children inspire physical signs of repulsion in me, LOL.
This dog is soooo adorable! I’m jealous! I want want too! lol
Thank youuu!!
omgggg he is soooooooo adorable <3
Thanks, Melis!
he is soooooo cute. just want to squeeze him.
LOL! I poke him in the tummy all the time, he’s so chubby.
Oh I am so jealous!!!! I want a dog so badly.. I’ve never had one, only cats. He is adorable
You’re so lucky!
Thanks, Stacey! Aww, only dogs for me, I’m allergic to nearly everything else (and I’m semi-allergic to dogs!).
he is gorgeous!!!!
Thanks Victoria!
He’s a beauty! I look forward to seeing more photos of him.
Thanks, Tonee
I hope to share more in the future for sure!
AHHHHHHH!!!!! SO CUTE!!! <3<3<3<3
omg i want one!
He is! LOL, he is a handful though!
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH he is sooooo cute
I simply adore puppy toes…they are almost as cute to kiss as baby toes 
Having gotten a rescue dog myself recently, I know how much love a dog brings into your home 
You and your man are very lucky, as I am sure Magellan is.
I can’t wait until his feet get too big for the rest of him, LOL. That is the best part about big dogs!
How is Fafi doing?
Good to hear
I hope you take more pics soon!
Ah, he is just so cute! I just love big puppy feet, too! It’s too bad they can’t stay puppies forever….
I love big puppy feet, too, LOL. Yes, I know! There should be a mini-lab, I swear!
He is too cute Christine! Welcome to motherhood
I have to say, I was already entirely committed to not wanting kids before, and seriously, having a puppy totally cements the, “I’m not procreating. Ever.” feeling. Way too much work, LOL.
oooohhhhhhhh!!!! such a cute puppy!!!!! I love labradors, they are perfect for kids, and I want one!! =(
We are hoping he will be perfect for us! Supposed to be affectionate and smart — two musts for us, ha!
awww he looks like such a calm, angelic and sweet cutie!
He sure is a cutie, not sure about the angelic part
Nah, he’s okay for the most part!
I love him. WANT!
‘There aint no fleas on me’ puppy!!
LOL! I suppose he does look like that puppy from the commercial!
OMG its Carriespooner!!!!! I know you
hehehe how funny!!! Kisses Tanya
Omg! Hes the cutest thing ever! I cant wait to move & get a puppy again.
Aw, thanks! What kind do you want?
Im not sure, we used to have tons of land and we had 20 dogs all different kinds. Never had a lab before, hopefully I can get my mom to get one!
Wow, that’s a lot of dogs, but it’s so great that you were able to give homes to them
His little nails are so cute! And sharp, I’m sure!
LOL! Oh, indeed, but not nearly as sharp as his teeth!
awwwwwwwww……He is so cute! Congrats on the addition!
Thanks, hun!
he looks so adorable and cute!
Thanks Nicola!
SO. CUTE. And I appreciate his being named after a famous historical figure and not just “Fluffy” or “Fido.”
We spent soo long picking out a name, we didn’t want it to be common!
OMG!
The one with his eyes closed and the last one are most adorable.
AHH!!
Treasure his cuteness while he’s still a baby. xD
Puppy! *huggles Magellan* I love dogs, but our house is too small to have one. I’ll enjoy my puppy love through you.
We live in an apartment, and that didn’t stop us! He can’t go anywhere until he’s 4 months anyway, since his immune system is poor til he has all his shots. We live very close to a park (across the street), so we intend to take him there later on.
OMG. So adorable!!!
Thanks Sammy!
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. =)
Aww, cute! Wow, that is a lot of animals!
and i have a cat lol!
What’s his/her name?
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.
Aww! What kind of dog do you have?
What a darling pup! Congrats!
I can’t wait to see how he grows!
Thank you! Ha, me neither!
aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, soooooo adorable. what a baby!!!!!
Aww, I know! I wish he stayed this size forever, 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
lol! Oh, god, he’s not getting close to the makeup!
He looks so cute:-)
Indeed
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.
LOL! We haven’t lost anything yet, thankfully!
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!
Awww, how cute, Tatiana!

Hey Cristine,
He’s so cute,adorable and nice pix u have taken of him,i really luv the pictures especially the sleepy pose of him,u r lucky but im not so fortunate,cuz my hubby dont like pets esp,dogs or cats and im tooo much in luv with animals,i really adore one but i know i can never,i really feel like crying :’(…but lucky u..(iam sorry i made whole atmosphere emotional)
Luv,
Zzainy..
Thanks, Zainy! That really sucks that your hubby doesn’t like pets
Maybe someday he will turn over a new leaf!!
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!
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
