In my hunt for a dog.. I may have found the one.

He's a stray that came in to work last week. If he isn't claimed by Monday, he is available for adoption.

He's so darn cute!

He is adorable. :D

How cute! He reminds me a little of Benji!

He's so sweet. I could just eat him up!

I hope you get him, let us know.

Also, we'll need more pictures and a name. :)

Hehe. If I get him I will post more. The doctor things I should call him Mowglie.

I can't have a dog for another 3 months, so it's a long shot, unless I can find someone to take him or he stays at the clinic.

If you lived close by I'd take him in a heartbeat, but you probably wouldn't get him back. ;)

Mowglie is cute, jungle book is one of my favorite cartoons.

Benji is cute too though, and he looks like Benji.

AGH! Too cute!

Taking all bets!

I'm going for Poodle x Maltese ;)

I hope you get to keep him, he really is adorable.

I agree... Maltapoo. I had one for 13 years. She was the best dog I have ever had! I bet he will be even more adorable once he has his haircut and bath.

I have to disagree - to me, looks like a Cockapoo. And he's about 15 pounds.

There's no such thing as a Cockapoo :p

Not to disagree with our newly minted Dogs Expert, but I do have a definitive identification






It's a DOG

That's exactly the kind of "dawg" that I want to get for my Mama. She's kind of lonely at the house by herself now .

He looks like a great one. I'll bet he's very smart . I think he looks like Benji too Artlady.

I hope it works out to where you can take him home. Will you spoil him? Sure, why not?

Well, there are his points toward re-certification for today.



Whatever his parents were, he just begs to be cuddled.

You know what I mean, smartass. :P

I missed this before!

I would think that a Poodle/Cocker would need regular exercise as Poodles are a fairly energetic breed... just something to consider if your mother is older.
Breeds like Shih Tzus are great because they don't need a lot of exercise (they are very much lap dogs) and they look (kind of) similar...
Only problem is all breeds with longer hair need a fair amount of grooming (daily brushing plus 6 weekly clipping) ;)

Yeah, this dog is a ball of energy. He's not neutered yet, but thankfully he isn't the type to lift his leg on everything. He's pretty young though.

Give him time hehe

I really do hope you can find a place for him to stay until you move.
Whether he be a Cockapoo or a Poodle x Cocker he's a real cutie :p

Move to Alberta, I'll take him until you can!

Do it!

Do it!

Please do it! :)

Do it!

Please do it! :)

You know half the guys on this site want to put this in a sig wall now.

Altenweg agrees: Are you sure that you don't just love a good a$$? ;)

Oh yes! I am a huge fan of the bottom. But that's a different thread.

LOL! So do it! ;)

I'll let KP have it.

I'm surprised no-one has commented on this yet ;)

Oh wait, this is the dogs forum, you are going to get me in trouble with Ben for not yelling at you :p

24816He looks like my Coogle (Poodle) but Coogle has a 3 inch tail.

He looks just like him Dahlia! :eek:

I don't see many poodles without clipped faces, or in the color apricot (I have never actually seen one in the flesh :eek: ) so after seeing that he may even be a purebred poodle!

Dahlia, they are so cute.

He doesn't quite look like the pure-bred apricot poodles that a friend of mine had. From what I can tell his head, muzzle, and legs are bit stockier.

It is doubtful someone would dump a purebred poodle (worth too much money) but you never know...
If you saw my boy in the flesh you would not think he was a poodle, he's built like a tank, it's only the typical poodle clip that distinguishes him from a mutt.
(speaking of which he is going into a Swedish T trim in a few weeks, should be interesting!)

All odds are that he is a mix, but you could certainly get away with telling people he was just a poodle.

It's past Monday! Is he yours yet?:)

Well, his adoption day is actually Wednesday NOT Monday... but, I found someone to foster him for me for a few months! Sooo assuming he is good with their cats, he will be mine in a few months!

Are you picking out names yet?

Trying to think of one. :P I'm open to suggestions.

And to the previous comments, he is quite stocky compared to the poodles I've seen.

Looking at that face, I would suggest Didn't, as in I didn't do it.

What is his personality like?

It would be too easy to suggest a name like Mopsy just from looking at the one picture. :)

He's very timid, but extreeeemely affectionate once he gets to know. He's content to follow you around and sleep at your feet, or nap in your lap.

Shadow.

Barkley.

Ruff.

Poohead (that Chewy's nickname)

Fluff.

Fuzz.

Benji.

Bingo.

I'm out. :(

This might help. :)

How about Oliver?

He is a cutie. Looks like an Otis, Mo or a sam.

Otis, that's a good name. I like it. :)

Mo sounds too much like 'no' 2 syllables are much better.

Well, the vet named him in my absence, and the entire clinic loves his name.

Wembley

It's from Fraggle Rock. Apparently he looks like Wembley from there.

I love Fraggle Rock. Don't get one named "Red."

He is officially my dog. He got groomed today, going to be neutered Wednesday.

Yay for both of you! :D

What adjective tops "adorable"?

I'm so very happy that he has found a wonderful home!:D
Coogle got a trim yesterday and he looks the same as your pup, it's very funny. Skinny legs, it is always so weird for a couple weeks. They don't look the same.


I hope the beautiful pup that was next to him finds a home also:) and even the one in the background:)

I love the new name,very sophisticated!
He is just charming,love the picture with him looking into the camera with such intelligence on his face.
I am sure you will be the best of friends.Best of luck !
Photo 7 he just looks so proud of his new do :)

Very cute, I like Wembley too, it's different ;)

He's HOOOOME!

Yay!!

He looks so happy. :)

He looks a little like the dragon in never "The never ending story". In my opinion. ;)

So cute. Glad he's home. :)

Napping under the telephone table could be hilariously disastrous, but he's sooooo cute.

Aww welcome home!

Oh what a cutie! He looks a little Cocker when he sleeps.
Congrats!:)

Been a total nightmare dealing with Wembley's neuter.
Ever since the surgery, he will NOT LEAVE HIS INCISION ALONE. He was living with a cone on but was creative in his abilities and was still able to rub it. Padding the cone just made him drag himself against the carpet to scratch. The area became horribly red and painful. I tried a million creams, sprays, etc etc. NOTHING WORKED.
My last ditch effort before resorting to steroids like vanectyl or pred to relieve his itching was giving him anti-inflammatories (metacam), and sedatives (acepromazine tabs) to help him sleep the night.
We're on day 2 of this, and it seems to be working. Fingers crossed!
The final straw was the one night I only slept for 45 minutes because he kept spinning and spinning to get at his incision ,and when I locked him in a different room he just howled. Was so tempted to drive to work at 3 in the morning to gave him a shot of ace..

I feel your pain Sariss.

None of my dogs ever had a problem with the neutering, but my rabbit Cotton, he went through hell and took me with him.

Rabbits are notorious for bothering their stitches, they will actually mutilate themselves in order to get them out. What made it worse was that they used staples. He really wanted to get at them.

We got the Elizabethan collar, of course, but the little bugger figured out how to get around it. We tried a yoke, but that didn't work either. A lot of money later (money for the collar and yoke) I decided to get creative. I bought a cat harness and threaded the collar through it. It did the trick. He couldn't get it off because it was firmly attached.

We had the anti inflamatories and pain meds, he just wanted those staples out! ;)

Kilala, one of our female rabbits, had the surgery days before we adopted her from the SPCA. She didn't even notice her stitches. I have to say, I'm going to insist on stitches, not staples, whenever we have to do the next surgery for whichever fur baby needs it. ;)

He'll be okay. It's a worry, a pain in the butt, but it's the right thing to do and the suffering won't last long. :)

Sariss, you are both in my thoughts and prayers for his speedy recovery.

My dog - a female - paid absolutely no attention to spay scar. And then we took the collaroff, she squeezed under the bed and chewed open the incision.

I had a rott who had surgery on both of her hind legs - she also chewed out the stitches in about 15 minutes while we were eating dinner.

Both dogs ended up having rather severe skin allergies.

All of my other dogs were neutered and had no problems.

Wonder if there's a connection - ?

Poor little guy, he'll be better for it in the long run though :)

Mums poodle had to have dozens of stitches in both hind legs after being attacked by another dog... he didn't touch any of his stitches bless him :)

There aren't any visible stitches for him to get at thank god (they are subcuticular). He's a very sensitive dog I've noticed and we're at a week since his surgery so he's in the itchy stage and that's aaaaalll he wants to do, so he's given himself a bit of a skin infection from it.

Lots of treats and distractions for him!

Whenever I get my white boy clipped he gets terrible clipper rash, vet prescribed Neotopic-H lotion... it is an anti-inflamatory, antibiotic and a local anesthetic, it was excellent, no more scratching himself till he bled every grooming session. Now I know you have access to pretty much any doggy drug you need but I thought I would share what worked for me.

Haha I actually ended up using something called Special Formula, which is a mastitis treatment for cows, but worked WONDERS.

Oh wow, never heard of that, it's probably cheaper than the stuff I get, will have to look into it lol :D
