LOVE THIS PICTURE!

DEMPSEY AND DANDY

Oh the difference three months can make! I am posting two pictures below - - - the first was take the day after we got Dandy in early July. The second picture was taken this morning. They get along really well, and Dandy is a pretty well-behaved little puppy (most of the time anyway!) He seems to be learning some really good habits from his "big brother."

Dandy and Paris

One question I keep getting when people find out we have a new puppy is, "what does Dempsey think of him?" Dempsey is pretty aloof at this point. I don't think he has quite figured out just what Dandy is at this point. He now realizes that he is not a threat, but when he does his little high pitched puppy bark and growl, Dempsey isn't quite sure what to make of it.

Dandy isn't too lonely though. Just a block away is his sister. Our friends Barb and Greg also got a puppy from the same litter. I thought you might enjoy some pictures of Dandy and his sister, Paris. Paris is the one with the purple collar - - Dandy is the little bitty one.

MEET THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE HALE HOUSEHOLD

We have adopted a new member into the Hale household! Please take a moment and acquaint yourself with Dandy. He is six weeks old and we brought him home today. He is a Standard Poodle and is currently weighing in at a whopping 1.7 pounds. (He will eventually weigh about 50-60 pounds when full grown.) He and Dempsey are getting along well, though Dempsey isn't quite sure what to make of him just yet. He is worn out from a big day and sleeping soundly at the moment.
