Mostly OT: New Addition

[nomar]

I got this little guy as a surprise birthday present for my wife. She was so happy and surprised, she allowed me to pick the name. So please say hello to Ollie:

He is beyond adorable. Congrats!

Labradoodle? Great looking dog and great name.

You know you will never get him off the couch now, right? Don't start letting him on the bed or you'll never get him off that, either. It's cute and almost irresistible when they are puppies, but they are not puppies forever.

Our dog also has a UConn-inspired name: Moxie.

It is based on an inside joke among my friends: Mid-way through the '98 - '99 season one of my good friends, a fellow UConn grad who is one of those fans that just can't help but bitch about the team even in the best of times, complained that the team had no moxie. My head almost exploded as I defended them and proclaimed that "moxie" was the defining characteristic of the team, and that Khalid was the poster boy for moxie. "No moxie!" became a running joke among our entire circle of friends for the rest of that storybook season, and we still cite it often. So much so that my wife actually suggested the name for our then-new dog a little over six years ago.

It's a cute dog, but its butthole is squarely on your couch.

You need a new couch.

My wife was posing him for the picture, but his butthole (and the rest of him) has mostly been on that white bed you can see in the foreground of the photo. He is really intent on destroying our dining room carpet, though.

He's not sleeping in our bed.

Mini-goldendoodle. He'll probably be 25 pounds or so.

Sweet and great wife! If I brought home a dog my wife would also get overly excited and build a dog house . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . for me.

Cute. I love OTHER people's dogs.

"New addition"...I expected a thread about contractors, I-beams and windows.

She's there. You just can't see her. If you catch my drift.

She's making sandwiches?

She's making sandwiches?

Many possible responses, all of which would take this somewhere I don't want it to go.

That's why you have that grin on your face!

Ah, the doghouse. It's where the mailman delivers my mail.

 

[ctchamps]

When the wife hits menopause the doghouse becomes a man cave.

Ah, the doghouse. It's where the mailman delivers my mail.

And where does the mailman deliver the rest of his load?

By the way cute dog nomar nice job.

Last year I adopted a rescue dog from Kentucky that the foster mom's kids called Olaf (he's white and Frozen was still in theaters), which we shorted to Ollie.

Can Ollie recruit?

Just hope he's not "one-and-done" like others in Kentucky.

Kidding - Ollie will live a long wonderful dog life with Mr Conehead and his family!
