How is everyone? I've got a new baby.

[Brenda Stone]

First on my mind:  Thinking about my Doodle friends on the East Coast tonight.  Be safe!

I have been out rescuing dogs thisweek...well...A dog.  Poor little baby was living at a busy intersection at a car wash for a couple of weeks.  No one could catch him; certainly not animal control.  He is way too smart for that.  I could not sleep at night when the weather got cold so I spent a few hours doing my dog-charming walk yesterday.  I kept walking in circles around the BUSY car wash and not looking at him until he became interested in me.  Then, I began to put spoonfuls of delicious dog food about every ten feet.  At one point, I thought I had lost him and decided to call it a day.  Heard him barking/screaming and saw him across a busy street looking at me and saying, "Hey!  You!  Over here!  It's quieter and we can talk."

I eased across the street and within an hour or so he was in my lap and crying quietly, and telling me how rough it was being alone for so long.

For my troubles, I am now the proud foster mom (owner?) of a coal black Basenji / Chihuahua mix baby.  His foster (new?) name is "Harry."  Smart little boy.  In 36 hours he has become a brave boy who is not afraid to walk through doors (thresholds terrified him), he is doing great at being housebroken.  He is all snuggles and love.  

Foxy Stone does not acknowledge him, but does not hate him, either.  We will go to the vet on Thursday...soon it will be SNIP day.  If he is going to be a large dog, I will need to find him a home.  If not, he is probably going to be mine, and hopefully, Foxy's.  

I know...not a Doodle...but he needed to get off that darn busy intersection.  

Hugs, cruise buddies!

What a sweet story and you brought me to tears Brenda!  How fortunate for the both of you that you found each other.  Enjoy your new little Harry and I so happy for you:)

I am not very familiar with uploading photos on this forum just yet, but Harry's pix are hopefully attached to this reply.  Thank you all so much for your kind words. The "Stone Pack" is about to call it a night.  :)

In my uneducated opinion he looks like he is going to be just about that size.

I can just picture him on the other side of the street calling to you...he is adorable - I love his big ole ears.

Congratulations, I think you have yourself a keeper!

It's easy. Just click on the icon that is second to the left end. You can load them one after another that way.

I can tell by looking at him that Harry is a MINI doodle :)

[Becka]

I agree, Laurie--a mini smoothed-coated doodle ;)

Plus, they were just talking about needing more black doodles on the calendar next year, so there you go. Doris and You can work side by side next year getting good shots of Harry and Knox for the calendar.  LOL
