How adorable is he?
Glad he is a team player.
Hope all is well with you.
 
What a Cutie Patootie, Jameson is.
Love the names you pick for your boys!
Kai reminds me of Koi, which reminds me of FISH :rotfl: No, that name had to go! You did good @Poodles
You should be a professional dog namer:heehee:
Hope he brings you many years of enjoyment!
To Jameson :cheers:
 
How beautiful. Looks like you have some work ahead of you but the end result is worth it.
 
@AgilityDog Gary is kinda, sorta, in a way, maybe thinking about agility.

I'm thinking the boy needs to go to our trainer's "little" boy class on Thursday night. If I could work on the concrete surface and not the sand, I think it would be fun. I am caneless about 98% of the time and today only used it walking through the snow/ice in the gravel parking lot.

I just told Gary we need to find how to turn OFF, Isaac's new toy. They play when they get up and they are playing now and it's after 9. I'm glad I only work 4 days a week since Isaac is me at my office and Jameson goes with Gary and the other boys.
 
Poodles, that puppy is so gorgeous, what a fabulous colour he is......making me feel puppy-broody again :loveshwr: Made me laugh you calling him Isaac's new toy.....Joey was Charlie's second birthday present (told him he was so expensive that was all his birthday and Christmas presents rolled into one!) Isn't it lovely to see them bonding....I love seeing them doing things together, as well as shadowing us humans. You won't be short of things to do or reasons to exercise as you recover, Poodles :dancy:

You seem to be steaming ahead with your hip recovery, I'm very impressed.....and hopefully the gynae stuff will be equally straightforward, you'll have a lot to take your mind off it, with travelling and 4 lively dogs!
 
@Poodles we are considering - oh let’s be 100% honest here- I want a second dog. :loll:I think Lola needs a playmate and dogs are pack animals. My husband says I am crazy.
 
@Walkinginthesand oh yes I agree.....tell your husband 2 dogs are easier than one....they entertain each other and you don't feel so guilty if you go out and leave them behind with big puppydog eyes, you know they have someone to talk to. Even exercising, I can't walk my 2 at the moment but console myself with the thought that at least they're burning off energy by playing. And last but not least, TWICE THE LOVE :puppysmooze::puppysmooze: I'm sure we can come up with some more reasons if your husband is still unconvinced?:heehee:
 
But, @Walkinginthesand I now have 4 Standard Poodles. I'm not complaining. It's all good and they are all getting along very well.

Things to convince your husband... Two will entertain each other. It doesn't cost that much to feed one more (yeah right...it's double, but don't let him think about that). Walks are more fun when you each have a dog to walk! Gary is currently walking 4 until this blasted snow and ice melts and I can get out safely....hmmm...Maybe that isn't a good reason. Let's see...They have playmates! Our favorite excuse for having 3, is we never have to leave one of the boys home alone. In my case, our groomer gives a group discount! I didn't know that until my best friend complained about her rate yesterday and the groomer said she gives me a multi poodle discount. I will stay take 3 and I will give the old man a haircut myself. Lastly, my trainer charges $25 for a private lesson if I bring one or two.

Some of that reasoning works, mostly not, but I agree, Lola needs a friend, even if you just sit around watching them play and laughing. We seem to be having a lot of fun...so far. The first camping trip this year is coming up real soon...we'll see how much fun it is.

@anny you cracked me up! I love you gave your puppy a puppy for a present. I got Zachary neutered at 10 months (way early for us to neuter normally) for Henry's birthday present. Zachary ATE my Excursion leather passenger seat (new truck at the time) while I was out to coffee on MY birthday. Henry's birthday was two day's later and that's when Zachary got neutered. The insurance company paid the claim 100% and had the truck repaired just like new. They did ask for a picture of the vandal...so I sent them a picture of Zachary sitting in the passenger seat that was all chewed to pieces! Unfortunately, we lost Zachary to a blood disease at 5 1/2. He was a character and I still miss him. :cry:

I was so sore tonight I came home and got my cane, a glass of wine and sat down in my heated recliner. A early bedtime for me tonight, and tomorrow is my FRIDAY!!!!!!! Three days off and I can't wait. Calmer weekend than last weekend. We have only one event planned. We are all going to the ranch...our best friend's and where our horses and Fainting Goats lived while we had them all (for many years) for a doggy play date dinner on Saturday. Life is GOOD.
 
"Henry's birthday was two day's later and that's when Zachary got neutered."......was that Henry's birthday present? :thud::heehee: and 'Fainting Goats'.....for real?? I think I have had a very sheltered life!

Hope you have a relaxing evening, and enjoy your long weekend
 
A heated recliner and a glass of wine, wow, you're doing it in style @Poodles
Sounds like a wonderful way to relax. I hope you enjoy your days off.
Fainting Goats, hmm :chinstroke: want to hear more about that....
Enjoy your break from work and the weekend!
 
Jamison is a beautiful dog and a very unusual color. My mom had a apricot color standard and was a rare color at that time. Well Jameson looks like he has a lot of potential for learning and training. Poodles are very smart dogs and are people pleasers. You'll have so much fun with integrating him in your growing herd.
We have 6 and all so sweet and individual personalities. One of the shelties is the boss dog and hides all the toys from the other dogs under the bed. Funny how they set up their hierarchy's all on their own. It will be interesting to see how the new kid on the block fits in. He looks like a very happy dog and they are the best way to add humor, happiness and healing to your now crowded home. Be careful they can be a bit of a trip factor at times . I'm sure your aware of that as a devoted doggie trainer.
Give all your pups a big hug from me!
Have a great day ! Its a bit rainy and windy today, thank goodness the snow has melted.

@anny @Layla Fainting goats. I had never heard of them, but my vet suggested I get my horse a pair of goats to keep him company (he hated other horses). Well, it was a great idea, but perhaps getting Fainting Goats wasn't the best idea. He took advantage and once he figured out he could scare them, he would do it often...I think I saw a smile on his horsey face when he would dump a goat! Once they got older it was very rare that he could scare them and they quit "fainting". Here is a video.

We never tried to scare them. When they were babies, they fainted all the time. Headlights, the dogs, throwing hay, chasing them to catch (very convenient), my horse, the list goes on. We didn't have to try to scare them.

Shepherds used them in their flocks of sheep. If a wolf would attack the flock, the Fainting Goat would faint and get eaten, but the sheep would be safe. Now, I don't know of any shepherds that use them. Never seen Fainting Goats in huge flocks that roam the Ochoco Mountains near here. All the flocks of sheep and goats here have Great Pyrenees as their protectors. A lot of Great Pyrenees around here with all our livestock...even with horses and chickens.

@Hippielife Six. You must be very organized. Gary and I had more activity than a 3 ring circus taking in 4 to the vet last Saturday. Never again. It sure is fun to have them, though. Jameson is learning he needs to settle. It takes very little effort to calm him and it's getting better every day. We had an Apricot. His name was Walter. We lost him from Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever...we think. It was the best the vet could diagnose. He was only 2 1/2. Very, Very sweet boy. We leave for a trip in the motorhome in two weeks for our initial camping trip of the season. I think it's going to be a fun trip. The picture you sent, is that the boss?
 
That is one of the craziest things ever!
It looks like they're stiff before they even hit the dust :heehee:
Wow...you learn something new every day. I'll forever associate you with Fainting Goats @Poodles
Hope you, Gary and the boys have a great weekend!
 
The pic of Sadie the border collie in the snow above is the only one that totally ignores the boss dog. Too funny. The antics they do! The boss or alpha is the sheltie pic below. All herding dogs who herd me all day . I call them my Possie! They all seem to know their place have their own routine and luv to run out in the pastures.

Enjoyed the fainting goat story and video. Horses are BOSS!

Great to hear your back out enjoying life . Wow for just getting a new shinny hip in Jan and joined the double hippies and soon setting off to vaca soon, I’m impressed with your agility and strength to recover so well. I know it’s still irritating at times . All your beautiful poodles pups are they in the camper with you going on vaca too!

Oh @Hippielife I am trying to keep a positive attitude. I have certainly had my share of BAD days. I keep telling Gary I just want this to be OVER. I feel like a slug, but when I do too much I am miserable. Keeping a positive attitude is the best thing I can do. NEXT is to lose some of this weight that has crept on.

LOVE the BC's! One of our kennel club members did a 10 minute talk about them at the last meeting. Love how they think. I also didn't know they had different coats. She competes in Agility with two bad, horrible, awful knees. She can barely walk, yet completes in obedience and agility. I don't know how she does it...and is a year older than me. She had one of her girls with her and she listened to every word she said. So sweet.

What is the Sheltie's name? Pretty! We have two Shelties in our proofing group. Wonderful girls!
 
@Layla I know. They are so different. When they were young, they were so easy to catch and trim their feet! Love that about them. Then they got older and they didn't get scared anymore. LOL...Rus T, my horse, had such a crazy sense of humor...if a horse can have one. He tipped them over often, even when they got older. He never hurt them. It was just something he did. Thank heavens he had a goat tipping hobby because he hated other horses!!!
