Papa Bear

I briefly (very briefly) considered posting some other photos from New Mexico, you know, like of the desert or a cactus plant or something.  But then I remembered this is supposed to puppy week.  Much like shark week but with less teeth and more cute furriness. Yay, puppy week.

So, in honor of the bestest week ever, meet Headlights, aka Papa Bear, the father of the six little britches. He is a strong, protective, spirit dog. The kind you want by you on a dark night or during a solitary walk.  I would love to find a good boy like him when I'm ready to adopt a dog of my own.
