Latest pic of Dink.

 

We met a gorgeous labradoodle while on our walk yesterday evening (I was social-distancing, Dink was not). I asked how old he was, as he looked maybe 1-2 years old, and was astounded when she said 10. He was a very calm and friendly dog too, they just sniffed each other and neither of them did any dominating gestures.. it makes such a nice change

Hello all! 

This is my dog Molly - was sleeping on my foot, haha

Almost everytime someone makes a picture of them, they have the same posture.

Stitch is her absolute favourite. She has 3 she's allowed to play with and 3 more on display on top of her crate.

Yes, Argo is very quiet, unless he is re-enacting scenes from Godzilla.

Well, this is an interesting turn of events.

I was driving home a few days ago when this little girl stepped off the side of the road, and into the traffic (the road is 55 mph) from a field, nearly hit her. In fact, I'm still not certain I didn't as she was right in front of my car (hooray for blind corners)

Stopped, picked her up. She promptly threw up in my car.

Took her down to my vet for a checkup. Well, good news, nothing a few grand couldn't solve. She had a stomach full of dirt and rocks, weighted in at 10 lbs and is about 3 months old.

Had worms, ticks, fleas, malnourished and about the only thing she didn't have, was Parvo (but had to get her checked twice, to be sure)

 

So, now I have a dog. Never had one before. Shes wildly curious about Argo, but Argo doesn't mind her.

Say hello to the world Ginger. Gonna be an interesting time.

 

(Off topic, yeah it's a bad pic, any ideas on breed? I know zip about dogs, she's very vocal, not much barking, but lots and lots of whining. Vet says she's fine internally)

I diagnose her as "Good girl" because that's what she is

^{Sorry I'm of no help}

[paddy-stone]

I'd say a cross of maybe a German Shepherd and a Golden Labrador/retriever.

 

Whatever she is, she's gorgeous

Heh, thank you gentlemen (or ladies, as the case may be)

All my life I've cared for reptiles. I'm totally out of my league here with a doggie, but holy cow those eyes! I can't say no to her, and while she still kinda dicey on learning commands, the cuteness overload is too much to handle, I'm under her spell!

Today is adoption day for little Murphy! Gonna leave the office a couple hours early and head to the breeders to pick him up.

He's going to destroy my house, He's going to destroy my car, all my my clothes will be covered in dog hair from this day forward, and I don't care even the slightest.  

[Real_PhillBert]

Just for giggles, Here's the very first image I got of him at 1 day old:

 

 

And the most recent, he'll be 8 weeks old tomorrow:

We did a DNA test through Wisdom Panel. Apparently it's pretty good. You don't have to, just throwing it out there.

 

Whatever she is, she is precious! She's very lucky you rescued her.

 

Start training right away. Crate training, house training, expose her to lots of things (people, noises, the outside world in general), get her used to you touching her feet (so you can trim her nails), set her up to be obedient and well-behaved. If you have any questions regarding training, just let me know.

Yeah, totally agree... Dinky LOVES her cage/crate, she goes in there if she's had enough of people (usually me), she looks at me like "stop touching me, I don't wanna play". Also, we only have to say "tea time" or she hears pots moving in the kitchen etc, and in the crate she goes... she can be such a good girl   I'm very sure that if we ever need to go to a different house, or whatever, we could take her crate and she would be fine.

We still have to expose Dink to things like the beach, deep water etc. I'll have to get a long lead/leash as I'm sure she would try to run and see other dogs/people and such, she loves to meet people and other dogs, which I'm mostly glad of, Henry was a nervous pupper and was more unpredictable when it came to meeting others... I wanted Dink to be more confident - and I got that in spades
