OT New QI!
A large shaggy dog joined our household tonight. I've been looking for a dog
for a couple of weeks, and this one won the pet lottery! Spike, Giles and I met him last week, and they thought he was great, even though he is nose to nose with Giles. His foster "parent" brought him to our house this evening to meet the rest of the family. Even DH (who is not a dog person) thinks he's pretty neat. Very calm, very mellow, very big! I was looking for a small-to-medium size dog, but he is 40 pounds and over 3 feet long! Long shaggy coarse fur, mostly black but sprinkled with white, making him look like an old man. But we have been assured by a vet that he is around 2 years old. He came with the name Roscoe, but I'm pretty sure we'll be changing it. The kids are all thrilled, as am I. He's such a sweetheart! He has already flopped down on DH's quilt and decided it was a comfy place to lie. :-) I'm afraid he's 4th in line (at least) for a quilt of his own, though. I wonder if he'd prefer fabric with dogs on it, or with cats? Hmmmm. Here's his publicity photo: http://tinyurl.com/m64o I'll put pics on my web page soon. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply |

He's adorable! He looks like he will be a great pet for your girls. Do
you know what breed he is? -- Laurie G. "If you're not going to snort, why even laugh?" frood wrote: A large shaggy dog joined our household tonight.

I see quite a sense of humor in those bright eyes. Be prepared to play. Hide
and Seek and Fetch will do for a start. Rub the ears for us, Polly frood wrote in message . .. Um, he's a dog. G The site listed him as a terrier mix, but I don't know what you mix with a terrier to get a dog this size. Irish Wolfhound, maybe? He does have the coarse fur of a terrier, and the face of a terrier. Kind of like a Scottie, but with floppy ears, and three times the size. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm De-Fang email address to reply "Laurie G." wrote in message m...

Ol' Roscoe really lucked into it this time. He ought to get more than
his fair share of affection at your house. (He sort of looks like Bing Crosby, give him a pipe and see if he starts crooning) RedQueen |

Congratulations! He is fantastic. That name Roscoe suits him, but
I know y'all will come up with something else you prefer. That's part of the fun. When you change the name, just call him with double name (Roscoe-_____ ) for a while and eventually drop the Roscoe. IMO, with picture and your comments, I wonder if there is a bit of Wire Hair Dachshund in the family tree. Yes, I understand he is tall, but you never know what might happen. There is a dog in our neighborhood that is some kind of Chihuahua and basset hound mix. Bizarre!!! In any case, enjoy your new QI.

Mazel tov! He looks like a sweetheart! Actually he looks like a larger
version of our first dog, also adopted young, who lived to be 17 and is still missed over 10 years later. --Heidi "frood" wrote in message .. . A large shaggy dog joined our household tonight.

Oh Wendy, he's lovely.
Big dogs often have the sweetest temperaments. I thought Irish Wolfhound too!!! KCK said you were ready for a dog, when you said some time ago that you thought a pet might be a good idea!!!! I'm so pleased you have your little 'other person' now - whatever he is. Have great fun. .. In article , frood writes A large shaggy dog joined our household tonight.

He's precious!!! Someday we will have a dog, but DH has said "not while
there are 3 cats already in the house!" I would suggest, for his quilt, using fabric that had cats and fabric that had bones on it..of course, you might want to throw in some fabric with cars on it..you know, the sterotypical things that go with dogs...lol Larisa frood wrote: A large shaggy dog joined our household tonight.
