Now outside, into one of the last, if not the very last, gorgeous, temperate, wonderful autumn days.

my intended. :) i like that very much.

i believe i saw valerie's very fetching saint bernard, if that was him in those dog park pix. adorable.

this guy (whom they're calling pumpkin) lost the ear in a collapsing ex-pen accident when he was 2 weeks old (not long after the pups went into foster). mama dog had gone nuts. one of the other pups had a bite on the nose, and there was pumpkin, and there was pumpkin's ear. he healed quickly, though. maybe like when they bob tails and clip ears intentionally in some young'ns?

"Bodhi" (which is easily more call-able than "Svaha," and maybe a better term anyway) could be represented as "Bo D." Bo Dog.

Here's the biggest one in the litter ("Bamboo"):



At least one other in the litter (one of the ones adopted before I saw them) had that big fluffy head thing goin' on.


Here's the girl I was initially considering ("Hyacinth"):



Here's the brother who looks a lot like my guy ("Bradford"):



Here's the shy one, and another smaller one (maybe the runt) ("Sage"):




And here, one more time, is "Pumpkin":




I guess all these pictures were taken a few weeks ago.

OK-- I thought I saw some brindle action on (ahem) "Pumpkin's" left legs, and now that's confirmed, as I see it on Bamboo. Not sure what that means-- guess you'd have a fun parlor game thinking of dogs that can contribute brindle markings.

That's what foster mom said! Brindle is cool.

Basically he's the best breed: mutt.
