My wife has gone and done it after a couple of years of deliberation and we will be bringing home our new family addition. I'm not sure I'm ready for this - but it is what it is:DAttachment 49527
Four months old mid size (miniature) poodle. My wife years back raised them in another life and has been saving her pennies for years for this 'event'.
Hehe, what a cute face. :D Looks like it will become a member of the family pretty fast, Dave.
Don
beautiful dog. i bet your wife is estatic. congratulations
The color even matches your interior, Dave. You'll look great cruising to the local meets together, but those curls may get mussed a little ;)
My wife is already out looking for the crate, some toys, a bed and whatever else needed to raise a puppy (I always had cats while growing up - a litter pan, couple toys and some food). Yes, she is ecstatic. My wife has been talking to the breeder for over 2 years and has even seen a couple of possible candidates - one of which ended up in the UK. This one was supposed to have gone to Germany, but when my wife saw her ---- well let's say those folks will have to wait. She even has a blue ribbon from a show last weekend as best puppy. The name - currently it's Carmella but might change. And as far as the curly locks and riding and color coordinated with my car, it will be interesting:LOL:
Like you have a vote?;)Quote:

Billet won't work it must be custom made to fit your Hot Rod scheme.
However, you're lucky because his/her color goes perfectly with the Hot Rod
so you won't have to repaint.:LOL:
Oh I almost forgot - - - AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I really wanted to say some "smarta_ _" remark but, that face is just to cute, and with the puppy keeping the wife company, you'll get more seat time in the hot rod!!!
Great furry kid to have, you won't be sorry!
Absolutely gorgeous Dave and congratulate your wife on her choice from me please.You don't need a separate bed for her as she will have fur and not shedding hair and as my little Cock-a-poo is the same colour likes to sleep in bed with me,you will find that she will help keep you warm at night.Attachment 49534
I can't tell where the "Poo" stops and "You" start :whacked:
Hard to say..similar hair colour...:D:DQuote:

Get ready - more photos coming ( the lady holding her above is not my DW )
Good looking pup!! And yes you did not have any say in that one!
Don Jr.
Looks like one heck of a good dog to me! Curly hair and a cute face, who could resist?
Of course I had a say - "Yes dear"Quote:

We went after the pup yesterday - the breeder lives near the West End of Nowhere!!
This is a picture of her this morning as well as my wife holding her. We haven't come up with our for her yet name but she was named Carmella. The breeder had started clipping her tail fur, but she was told no too late, so the fur has to grow out
She's a cutie! Going to look sweet riding with Dad to the local cruises!
Pepper (my cocker spaniel shop dog) wants to meet her!!! Sez she needs to get out in the shop and roll around in some dirt and dust though!!!!:LOL::LOL::LOL:
what a great mothers day for your family. both your wife and your new dog are beautifull.
Well, Dave, my first inclination is to be a little ornery and say that doesn't look much like a '32 Ford roadster kinda dog! Perhaps, a 63 Lincoln convertible would suit her better....but as long as you don't trim her up in pom-poms & bows, I guess she'll be alright! LOL! Where's the English bulldog when you need it?? LOL! Just teasin"!
I'm here to report that the pup is, after a day of being fairly quiet - isn't any longer. Of course, she has big time bonded with my wife, but that's what I wanted. Now she is racing around the two rooms she is allowed in and has toys scattered all over. Best part my wife - happier then I've seen her in a long time. As far as rolling around in the dust with your cocker spaniel, Dave S., gonna have to wait a couple months til she gets a bit bigger. She's only just 4mos old (and house trained:eek::D)
Thanks all for the good words - and no Lincolns, she'll be 'conditioned' for the roadster:D
What a cutie pie, Dave, and the dog is cute also !
Me thinks you have picked a winner - - - good luck with the pouch.
Now remember Dave you must wear the proper attire when walking your new buddy :rolleyes:......joe

OK, Dave, let's have an update on the Poochie !
Dogs are cute I have a yellow lab that won't let you drive out the drive way with out him... In all honesty when I read your title I thought you were getting another car.... OH wait is that puppy leverage for somthing in the future???:HMMM::HMMM::eek: House trained how about car trained
Well, that new addition has us about wrapped up tight and in less then a week. She and my wife have bonded 100 % . I'm still at the 75% mark but getting much better. We have chew toys all over the two rooms she is allowed in and, Mello - her favorites - a couple that look like dead squirrels and if you recall last spring from the other forum, how I really like those tree rodents. She is a lap pup - either of us and she is set til she is let down. Put her in the crate at 11:00PM and she sleeps until 6:30 or so - and dry. If she needs to do her thing, she stands by the door. She sits up for a treat or her collar and leash to go out. It's a new experience for me and a renewal for my wife. Oh and her new name - Callie (followed by a bunch of other gobbledygook about the 'dam' and 'sire')
Pictures of the "baby" will follow (of course:D)
Charlie - I love Labs and in my neighborhood, there must be over a dozen. Not sure about the car yet - it's an open car, but time will tell
hahaha, yes I do remember the Rodent Ruckus from last year.
She sounds like a homey honey. F.Y I. my cat's name is Callie !
Just doesn't seem that long ago that Pepper was a little black ball of fur, now he's gonna be 6 and hasn't changed much from his puppy days! Still loves to sit in laps, thought at 30+ pounds it'd be nice if he gave you some warning before he joined you! Loves everybody, I swear most of the guys that stop by the shop just come to see the dog!
They'll work their way into your heart quicker then anything else and always be your very best friend! Dave, hope you and your wife have as much fun and good times with your new pooch as I've had and continue to have with mine. Heck, I wish my other 2 kids were as trouble free!!!!
I got admit that as much as I love my pooch, the fact that he wants to sleep in his crate at night and cries if one of us stays up to late because he won't go down until everyone is down for the night is great. Having a trained dog makes the experience so much more enjoyable for the entire family.
Dave S - I guess I can understand why your visitors prefer Pepper:LOL:
Ricko - Our fingers are crossed that Callie's good behavior lasts. A couple of minor mistakes at the door when we didn't read her antics in time. My wife went out for several hours yesterday, and maybe 2-3 whimpers. Of course when she came home it was like she had been gone weeks.
Dave S. I would not complain about a 30+ lb. dog in my lap ever tried a 100 lb Lab now thats fun
Which brings up the subject of my daughter's TWO lap dog Bernese (Swiss Mountain dogs) at 100 and 125 pounds OMG. Better her and her family then me:whacked:
That sounds like fun....not...:D I had enough trouble when my German Shepherd wanted to park himself on my lap..[great big egg.]:LOL::LOL:..Quote:

Just a puppy update,
We have really been enjoying her and hope she never grows out of puppy hood. It amazes me as to how smart she is - has been to 'school 'and always shows off to the other pups, learning after 2-3 attempts. Great traveler and camper. Ready to hop in the car or truck for any trip.

She's kinda frowsy here a couple of weeks after her last grooming which my wife does
She's saying, "Come on Dad, give me the d*** treat !" :LOL: What a face. :)
Don
Look at those EYES! Wow... what a heartbreaker! LOL..
She sure is a cutie, Dave!!!! Pepper wants to know if she's old enough to start dating yet?
Thanks - she has been a dream pup, and with 'that look' for my first pup since I was a ------- pup
All trimmed up and ready for her first Christmas and of course send season greetings to all of her friends on CHR:
