Meet the Dawg
He's here!
We are now the proud owners of a small puppy. Henceforth he shall be known on this blog as "the Dawg". Not his real name, of course, but he's quite worried about his anonymity on the internet, which is maybe why it's practically impossible to get him to hold still in order to take a picture. He's a wriggly little guy. So the photography is really only happening when he is sleeping. Or maybe chewing something. Or perhaps licking himself, but you probably don't want to see much of the latter.
Look:
And here too:
Click on the pics to get the big version- my lap is full of warm sleepy puppy at the moment and I'm having to type with one hand because his head is on my arm. So I can't be bothered with tinkering with the sizing.
I'm completely besotted. Really, I don't know how I have lived so long without him.
He's gorgeous! I'm so glad you got a pup -- they are the best thing ever.
Hope you had a wonderful holiday!
xxoo

He's too cute to be called The Dawg. You might as well nickname him The Mut.
On second thought, puppies grow into adult dogs and The Dawg is a nickname with spirit.
Congrats on the addition to the family.

Too cute. Yep, it's unbelievable how over the moon you can get about a puppy. Best money I ever spent. Enjoy!

Congratulations! So cute! I love it when they curl up in a donut to sleep.

Aaahh! Help, I'm dying of cuteness!! He is utterly adorable. And isn't puppy breath the greatest?
I'm also dying of curiousity...I'm sure he's a terrier, but I can't find one that matches his description. Perspiring minds want to know =) Congratulations!

Awww, there is nothing cuter than a puppy sleeping in a ball on a chair. Except a puppy playing with anything or sitting in the sunlight. Yes, we need to know what kind of doggie he is!

SO CUTE!!! And good size, smaller dogs are so much better (mine is huge and bad and was a mistake!)
Congratuations on the new pup!

My head just exploded with the cuteness. I see a little tartan coat in his future ;)

He is so completely adorable! Congratulation.

We're looking to also get a puppy...and since I'm one to copy people - what type is he?? - ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!!

Congrats! 'Bout damn time, too.

Dear goodness that puppy is GORGEOUS! I'm a lurking occasional poster who is also daft about dogs, so I couldn't help but comment. Just gorgeous!

Yeah Doggy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the doggy he is sooooooo cute! It is about damn time you got something small and cute and huggable.
I am sooo excited for you! There really are few things better than a new puppy. Well maybe a potty trained one :)
