OT New QI!

Congratulations on the newest member of your family. May you have many many
happy years together. He looks like a sweetheart of a guy. Give him a
scritch behind the ears for me please.

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:

Fortunately, stubbornness is a family trait. My dad always said I was so
stubborn the other McLarens noticed. :-) We used to have a beagle, and they
are known for stubbornness, too. Our obedience trainer said she did very
well, for a beagle. And I grew up with a Westie, so I have a real fondness
for terriers.

Have you seen a Schnauzer? Most of the ones you see are technically
miniatures. He looks like a full-sized one crossed with a smaller terrier.

Terriers can be very stubborn. Good luck with training! But I'm sure
he'll be easy to love with that friendly face. He should be a great
addition to the family.

Spike is calling him "Rock-so", which is as close as she can get to Roscoe.
He sits when she tells him to - it's so cute!

What a great dog! He looks like a 'Rocky' to me. Nancycog in MD (another
dog lover)

Sounds good, and a blackand white dog can profitably shed on any color
fabric!

He'd prefer fabric with food! Looks like a fun dog, very friendly.

Oh, what a cutie!! But I think you're right, he doesn't look like a
'Roscoe', but maybe I'm predjudiced, because my Rottweiler is named
'Roscoe', too.

He's *adorable*, Wendy! If "adorable" is a good word for such a large
dog. But calm and mellow are good. Can't wait for more pics!

Where I come from, a 40 lb dog that is 3 feet long IS a small dog. As a
child, our first dog was 80 lb lab/collie cross. We used to ride on her.
When she died (of old age- 12, not from kids sitting on her and breaking her
back) we got a golden lab/great dane mix - 120 lb of yellow puppy. My first
dog weighed only 35 lb. My whole family laughed at such a puny dog. After
she died (old age - 13), I got a 45 lb dog. My sister still laughs at me.
She has an 80 lb dalmation and a 75 lb Alsatian mix. Smallish, but together
that's 155 lb of dog. My younger sister finally took the heat off me by
getting a 15 lb Scottie.
For what it's worth, I know a dog that looks exactly like ex-Roscoe but is
considerably larger. Her head is level with my ribs. She's a lovely mellow
dog too so maybe that particular mix of breeds produces big gangly mellow
dogs.
I'm so glad you got ex-Roscoe from a shelter. That's how I got all my dogs
too. I don't care about breeds at all and there are so many wonderful dogs
looking for homes. Enjoy!
Nancy - keeper of the herd that currently consists of Rosie the extremely
blond Nova Scotia duck toller mix mutt..... as well as Lou the brain damaged
diabetic cat, Ollie the ex-roadkill cat and my one and only human baby,
Grace.

At first glance he looked like a Scotty. A BIG Scotty. I kind of like
Roscoe, but maybe . . . Big Fala?

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.

Welcome, Roscoe (or whoever you end up being).

Will you be putting flames on his sides?
