Evil Puppy Pictures

[Lawn Dart]

Well, as I mentioned in another thread my wife and I got us a Puppy!  

Allow me to introduce Audrey, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.

Here she is!

She was super thirsty when we got her home.  






And Audrey met one of the other Denizens of the House.  Namedly, the Empress Peak-a-Boo.  



This ended quickly...The Boo just doesn't play nice with others!










Enjoy!

Cool puppy.  Have fun with all the training and that.  I'm not enough of a dog person to get one, as I travel a fair amount for work and pleasure.  I grew up on a farm, but it didn't rub off on me.

Astoundingly adorable. My current GF has an 8 year old that could've been that cute thing's mother.

Ok, Alyson gave the official "awwww...., I want to play with her"

 No more multi-day tours for you I guess unless you have a good dog-sitter. Even then it's tough to leave because they give you that "You're leaving me?" look.

 She is adorable.

 Don't worry about the cat. She'll warm up to the pup eventually. Give it a few years.

I believe the correct response is "Izza wuzza wups?  Izza??"  

But remember:  the reason they're so cute is so you don't kill them!

Adorable. Just makes you want to squish her cute little face.  

[Lawn Dart]

LOL!  You guys are the greatest!  

We have two cats.  There's Peak-A-Boo, my personal cat of 12 years.  She prefers to be called the Empress (and truly she behaves that way).  She warms up to nothing except people and even then she's exceedingly picky.  She defines the term "catty".  Seriously jealous creature.  She has, does, and will sit between my wife and I just so that my wife can't give direct attention to me.  The Boo hates any other creature with a vengeance.  Huge entertainment there when my parents dog comes by.  Boo corners the dog and won't let it move...

The second cat is a stray my wife took in 6 years ago.  Ripley loves dogs and warms up to them in very short order.  

So the house is complete!  I expect Boo to become ambivilent of Audrey and I expect Audrey and Ripley to be chasing each other around in short order.

Life is good in the House of K!

She is so cute

[toddrod]

that puppy IS evil!!

cute is so evil!  

[phoenix]

what a cutie.  

[Hondagrl]

She's a cutie!  I would love to snuggle her for a bit.  (Despite my allergies to pet hair) Is she a snuggler?

[redember]

Awwwww! That is the cutest undead puppy I've ever seen!!

[Cheddarhead]

Congrats!

Great choice...and she's off-the-scale in the "cute-n-fuzzy" meter.

That one shot of her working on a chew toy (3rd from bottom...) made me remember very distinctly just "how sharp..." a puppy's 1st teeth are.

I have often frozen damp old rags/facecloths for pups to "chew on..." when they're teething.  Works great!

Cute pup but whats with those socks??

[miles]

Now that's just too cute for words.

[OmegaSix]

Gonna put a big piece of carpet on the tank of the R1200?    

[steve.ski]

Cool dog, guys! Looking forward to meeting her!

Hey Cheddar,  The frozen rag thing - that's a helluvan idea!  Gonna have to use it!

It's funny, her teeth are sharp but she is so increadibly gentle about her chewing and taking of treats.  Obviously I'm expectant of some change, but I'm hopeful it won't be the same as my parents dog (who was, from day 1, a yapper/biter big time).  And Audrey hardly barks at all - which is lovely!

Scott, as to the socks - my wife likes them and I'm not going to argue!

[Bunbun]

Great pics  

I think my cat is starting to warm up to the dog.  And by that I mean "establish dominance over the puppy".  The frequency of the drive-by clawings are decreasing, but the force with which they are being carried out is increasing.  Puppy doesn't understand yet I don't think.  He'll cower 1 minute and the next he'll rush the cat, thinking it's play time.

Sounds like a cross between your 2 cats

That's a retreiver thing.

One great exercise for her (or any puppy), is to get her to play "grab the rag", where you move the rag or stick rapidly between your hands.  The game is for her to grab JUST the stick, not your hand.  If she nips your hand, YELL like you've been knifed (not at her, just in pain).  Look at her reproachfully and stop the game (walk away).

My Doberman could take a tennis ball out of my hand from as high overhead as I could reach without nipping - very cool.

Very cool.

So cute, makes me want one.  Post pics of the destruction too so I can convince myself to wait a little longer.

I firmly believe that a dog's teeth should never be tolerated on human flesh no matter the size of the dog. Unless you're training for protection work which is a whole other thing and requires an amazing level of control.

It wouldn't be unusual for her to find her bark after she settles in to her new surroundings and routine. If she does, you can teach her to controll it. Mine are free to bark until I give them a "Quite". They almost always respond well to that. It's a work in progress.

Regardless, she is a beautiful pup. Congrats and enjoy the quiet while it lasts

Scott!!!  How can you be so judgemental... those are my fabulous lucky rainbow toe socks that made their debut at a recent track day.  They must be lucky, 'cause I made it through without a scratch.  

[Viffer Vern]

Great looking dog.  You and Trina done well....

[JonS]

Thanks, this pic made my morning and its only 6am. She is so cute!
God, I love puppies.
