A new member of the family

Something to make you smile, no matter how crappy a day it might be. (And if it's already a good day, even better.)

Introducing Arvo, my new puppy-in-law! We Skyped last night, and he was totally sweet. I can't wait to meet him in person.

Us too. Which is why we are actually considering a road trip out there this weekend even though I really have no interest in sitting in a car for hours. But... doggie!!

I hope I get to play with him-he looks like a nice doggie!

Ok, very cute dog. Did you know that Arvo is Afternoon in New Zealand? :) As in "See you Saturday arvo!" They shorten things in weird ways with "o" on the end.

Australia as well (though I don't know if goes beyond that) and yes, I did know. :)

In this case, he named after the Estonian conductor, who (to bring things full circle!) is currently music director and chief conductor of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra.

Is he a soft-haired wheaten? Or something else?

Wait, this is not the white, er, cockapoo I think? I'd met at a party of yours, is it?

In any event, cute doggie. :-)

Ah, you're thinking of Solo, a poodle/mini-poodle/shi-tzu mix. Who is also far from a puppy, though he often behaves like one. :)

He is still awesome, though. See him here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkZ2weuPhzs

yeah, the dog in that video is the one I remember meeting, I think.
