It's been a long time coming as the song says. Milo passed over a year ago. We think we've found the sweetest boy to join our family and help us love again. He is 20 months old, a standard poodle, very skinny at 50 lbs and such a gentleman.
Something smells here
On Wed, (the 4th day with us) he found his sniffer! He sniffed and sniffed and sniffed every tree, bush, grass blade and wanted to sniff these big boxes!
He also got brave enough after doing the sniff test and finding a Meeeelion dogs peed on trees, he lifted a leg to try it himself, and promptly lost balance and stumbled away. (his previous owner said he wouldn't pee while wearing a leash) and he's only gone in our back yard so far.
He knew no words when we met. Not come, not sit, not really his name... speaking of names, we kind of want to replace (mountain Dew) with maybe Dylan... what do you think?
He is frightened, of people, noise, cars, the crate, his yard, losing sight of me...

I made this waterlily to add to my round robin quilt last week... loving that!
Conversation starter of the week
what was your favorite subject in school... elementary, high
school, or college... or did your favorite subject change over
time? what was the teacher like? do you still have an interest in
that subject?
I always loved history. I liked imagining living in other times. I read a book on time travels as a little girl,
I decided to become a doctor in university. I took all the first year courses, majored in biology which also interested me, although calculus and physics not so much. But.... my real interest was in psychology by then, so I changed to that as a major and worked in field as my career.
ps I still love history, and time travel, and archeology, and Diana Gabaldon novels.
my nature pics this time are of the ranch Dewey came from:

| turkeys |
donkeys! also a bunny, lots of dogs, and other critters.
I'm watching figure skating from Milan but the coverage here isn't great NBC
I love being the only dog and having all the love and pets and snuggles. I like walking, and seeing dogs along the way but going home to only our family. I love to eat, and that my pawrents feed me more than I used to get, (it's still not enough! is it ever? )
I think I'm going to like my toys, not yet, I don't know what to do with them yet
(editor: he picked up a ball rolled to him today)
suggestions for names?
please visit these folk to see what they liked this week, and school subjects they enjoyed

We have been thinking about you non-stop and wondering...... Congratulations!!!! We couldn't be any happier for you. He will learn his new name - especially if they are associated with treats and love. Welcome to your new family, Dylan!
I'm so happy for your family! And, I'm happy for the pup! It sounds like you're going to give him the best life he's ever dreamed of having.
Dewey/Dylan is so gorgeous and sweet! I'm so happy for you! What a wonderful home you will give him!
Hooray for you and for Dylan! It will be so wonderful for you to have each other! Can't wait to hear more from him as he adjusts to his new life of luxury!
He looks like a Dewey to me, but he'll learn whatever name you choose. Congratulations!!! He'll get lots of loving at your house and soon learn how to be a dog. He's very handsome and has a bright curious face.
Your question about favorite subjects at school made me chuckle. I was a really school nerd, and loved pretty much ALL subjects but probably especially reading. I'm still a voracious reader. In high school my favorite classes were all the Home Ec courses, and the art courses, and French. I began college as a Home Ec major thinking I wanted to teach. Ironically I switched to history and French. And became a teacher of those subjects, along with English (my minor). I think my current love of fiber arts, and other crafts, is just an extension of those interests.
Awww! Welcome Dewey! He looks like a sweetie and will thrive with your love and attention. I'll look forward to lots of updates on life with Dewey!
Dewey/Dylan you will find out soon. :-) All the best! Regula
Dylan is a great name! Congrats! I'm so excited for you. (has it really been a year? oof).
Oh! I am so happy for you! He is a cutie! I like both names. So not helpful!
He is precious. What a sweet face! I think it must be so scary for a dog to be taken away to a new house where everything is different and the people are different. They are so strong and brave to try to fit into this new place. Dewey/Dylan is so fortunate to be with you! He will flourish! How did you find him? We adopted a 6 yr old dog the day before thanksgiving and she went through an adjustment period as she became more relaxed in our home. Apparently she had never been on a leash and couldn’t figure out why we were following her ALL the time, even when she needed to do her business! Congratulations on your precious Dewey/Dylan. I look forward to reading about him as he settles into your family. So happy for you!
Congratulations! Dewey /Dylan looks like such a sweet boy and I'm sure he is so happy to have been rescued by loving new parents who will care for him so very much and give him lots of love and understanding as he adjusts to a new home! Happy times ahead!
Congratulations! To you and your wonderful new dog that is still light for to see wishing you a brilliant weekend my friend Aloha

Such joy with your new "son". He is truly a handsome guy and the two of you walking along together sharing a walk was priceless! Love all the critters from where he came too. Sweet chicken!
Dewey/Dylan is the perfect pet for you! I'm so glad you got a new dog. He's gorgeous!!
