It’s been almost a month since we, though Bob and Lynn, had to put Bailey down and life in a dog’less house has been feeling rather empty. So today Traci and I went out looking for puppies. I’ve never had one and felt that my next dog should start as a puppy. The Capital Area Humane center only had very large adult dogs and most of them were already adopted. Petland of Powell ended up having a great selection of puppies and we took to one right away. A choclate and tan Cockapoo. I know, what the hell is a Cockapoo right? It’s a half Cocker Spaniel and half Poodle. It ends up with the intellegence and low shedding near hypoallergenic qualities of a Poodle with the disposition of a Cocker, and it’s pretty damn cute. We also looked at a Beagle pup who was also very cute, but after lunch and long discussion we ended up going back and getting the Cockapoo. He weighs 5 pounds and is 9 weeks old.

We named him Tanner
