Introducing...

GORDON!



Tonight Bryan drove down to San Diego and picked up Gordon (he was already named and we will keep it.  Bryan calls him Gordon B. for Gordon B. Hinkley)!  Isn't he DARLING?  For the whole hour I have known him... I LOVE him!  He is so sweet and just wants to be held and cuddle.  He is 4 years old and is already house trained.  He will head to the groomers first thing in the morning to get rid of some of his dreadlocks and trim his hair so you can see his eyes!  I can't wait for the girls to see him for the first time in the morning!  And THANKS to the best husband in the world!  He was not very excited about this but I think he and G.B. did some bonding on the drive home and Bryan is liking him a lot!

oh my goodness! He is a cutie! I love the color! It is awesome! That is great! He could not be cuter! I love that he is already going to the groomer tomorrow! Where did you get him?

Please, please please do not have him groomed like a regular poodle. Keep him "uncut" as they say. I will have a much greater chance of learning to love him then. And if you want us to doggie-sit for you, we need to be in love. I will comment again after meeting this new little mutt. I am SOOO excited for you. He will make you very happy. Hope it is not fleeting. :)

SUMMER said...

dd (aka Jenny)... You will LOVE him! He has a very sweet disposition. He is going to get cut today and I will not do anything too crazy so that you two may have a love encounter at your 1st meeting...

The Robin Family said...

Congrats Summer. He is so cute. Even better, he is already potty trained, and will sleep through the night. The girls will love him.

Okay, I'm in love... I seriously didn't even realize he was here last night. If I was guaranteed a dog like Gordon, I might consider it.
Oh wait, I forgot they poop! Nevermind.

SUMMER said...

dd (jenny)- Isn't he so sweet? He has a good disposition. My only complaint is that he follows me EVERYWHERE....
