Boomer- Fearless Wonder Puppy

I’m learning a lot from my new puppy, Boomer. Yes, we got a new puppy, who is a German Shorthaired pointer and his AKC name is Young Baron Von Boomer. (It still makes me laugh to say it!!)
Oddly enough, he came from a breeder in Boyd, Texas, which is the same city of origin for the new Presidential dog, Bo. I looked it up on Mapquest and they were born about 6 miles apart!
The other amazing thing is that my husband, Steve, wanted to name the dog Bo (same name as the new dog in the White House) but I didn’t want a dog with the same name as an Ex-husband. Call me crazy, but I thought it would be weird!
Boomer is all legs and ears at this point, velvety smooth and all over chocolate, although the breeder says it’s called “liver.” (Yuck! Imagine calling a beautiful puppy anything even closely resembling a body part!) Anyway, he has a small patch of white “ticking” on his chest and beautiful, golden eyes that peer right into your soul. He is so trusting and sweet.
He barks when he sees us and gets really excited. In fact, he’s learned the noise Steve’s remote alarm makes when he clicks it when he gets home and the barking and excitement begin even BEFORE he sees either one of us. When it’s time to eat, he dives in both the food bowl and the water bowl with enthusiasm. He sloshes water all over the place with his paws and his ears and dribbles droplets from his chin.
And, he is also fearless. My husband noticed it first when he said, “Have you noticed how if Boomer wants something, he just walks over and takes it?” Even if another one of our dogs is playing with a certain toy or chew thing, he just walks up to the other dog and helps himself! He takes toys and chew sticks and, well, anything he wants. If they take it away from him, he just tries it again or goes for something else.
He doesn’t cry or whine or seem to get upset. Instead, he just goes for it. Don’t you wish you could be like Boomer? Totally fearless, a true risk-taker, with no doubts and all of the confidence in the world!
That’s true “Law of Attraction” in motion: I want it, I get it. Cool!
When I grow up, I want to be just like Boomer!
