Just picked Hanji up from the groomers. Wow, he is a large part poodle! Still cute, but really, is this our dog?

He's a happy pup, playing with the towel we put down in the back seat. Seems a few days at the kennel left no particular scars. He's just a happy pup and we're glad to have him back.

Oh, and he seems bigger again. Not a small puppy anymore!

One $0.99 frisbee, a few eager dogs, and you've got a quite amusing 3-way. Fun abounds!

Hanji's growing in leaps and bounds, but I think the pooch on the right will always make out Hanji look small. Dang, this dog must sit on the A/C vent during the summers!

Seeing Han-ji playing with Roxy again, well, Han-ji's a growing boy!

Gentle about it too. No cake to clean up. Just a little icing on the bride's cheek...
...shortly, back home to puppy, then pick up Frances at the airport, arriving back from work in Cali. We both wish she was here. Dancing at weddings is so much fun!

So my lovely wife heads off to Intermezzo with dear tyleet1047 leaving me with the pups. Han-ji out and about and Roxy in the crate while her mamma exits the building. Give Roxy a few minutes, let her out, she goes running to find mommy. Han-ji distracts me for a monent during which time I lose sight of Roxy. A quick search of the confined area shows no Roxy? A slightly more detailed search finds that Roxy went up the stairs, jumped the cardboard box 'barracade' at the first landing, and, uh, couldn't figure out how to get back down.

Time to get another baby gate. Three just isn't enough.

Actually, it's their second 'play date' together. tyleet1047 has this great rottweiler named Roxy. She's about twice Han-ji's size (50lbs vs. 25'ish), twice Han-ji's age (almost 7 months vs. just over 3 months), and she's a rottweiler. They *love* to play. And play. And play some more. And then more than that. It's a joy to watch besides helping to wear Han-ji out.

Having puppy-cam was great when we decided we wanted a little peace and quiet while we ate.

Tomorrow, we all rest.

Yup, he likes it here.

We've had Han-ji for a few days now and he just keeps getting cuter. He loves the little milk-bone original treats for training - jumps all over when he knows he's getting one. I introduced him to a golf ball rolling on the floor, simply adorable to watch his reaction. If the ball rolled towards him he retreated, if it rolled away he pounced towards it, when the ball sat still he kept his distance and barked. Now Han-ji's making himself at home on our shoes. Just too cute.

The housebreaking and crate training continue. We're prisoners of our own making for a while.

... we got a puppy! An absolutely adorable golden doodle puppy! Please welcome Victor Han-ji Thompson (we call him 'Han-ji', like Benji only different). We were looking into an addition to the family when we came across this cute little pup. He's 10 weeks old and on his second day with us now. We're learning all about dog ownership, training, and puppies. Han-ji's really tolerant of us and probably smarter too. It's changed us - we're dog owners now!
