His name is Primo
We brought him home today. He was manic for an hour and I thought we’d made a huge mistake, but he calmed down and he’s sleeping in his crate in the bedroom right now. I’m downstairs typing this because I don’t want to wake anyone.
He’s adorable. He’s afraid of his own reflection in the oven door; he walked into the sliding glass door and the glass around the gas fireplace, but to his credit he only did both of those moves once each. When I go upstairs to pee, he runs downstairs to the front door. He responds to “anh-anh” when he eyes the couch, he’s starting to associate treats with good deeds, and I have no idea what the fuck I’m doing yet. And we also decided on a name, a name I was kicking around today but finally tried out on Brenda just tonight: Primo. Brenda loved it and we started trying it out on our new smelly houseguest.
Primo. First. Emma came first in our lives, but Primo is our first dog, our first boy. And he farts. I love him.
Primo.
(as good a name as Primo is, this dog is Hooper; read on…)

Great looking puppy with a cool name. Invest in puppy training classes… It saved us 12 year ago. Have fun!
I like the name and he looks quite handsome. Nice collar. I am very much looking forward to the many stories you will have to share. Daisy barked at her reflection in the TV when we first brought her home. And Kelsey used to bark at the hair dryer. And they both hate the vacuum. Congratulations and welcome to the club.
Sooooooooooooo cute! I’m happy for all three of you, as you know. And, I’m envious! (I wish I could have a dog!!)
So happy for you both. Emma is watching over you all (and she did bring you to your new “child”. Love to you all. Primo is a great name and Italian to boot. Love Mom
