Hi friends! Yesterday I had a booth to sell my cards and paintings at a vendor fair our town has each year for Old Home Week. I knew there would be puppies from a local rescue organization there. The kids have wanted a dog since Hazel, our golden, passed away 3 years ago. I was cautious because I had such a hard time when Hazel passed, I never really got over it. But I decided to keep an open mind and if there was a dog that was a good fit I’d consider it. I knew the woman who fostered the dogs (she was one of my daughters favorite teachers in grade school) and I knew she did a good job with them.
We haven’t named her yet, we are waiting to see what seems right for her personality. I think she is a Poppy, Clementine, Millie, Mavis or Snickers. She really responded to the name Snickers, how cute is that?
She is really smart too. She is 12 weeks old and the foster mom said she wasn’t toilet trained yet but she hasn’t had an accent.
I won’t have a Sketchbook Sunday video today and the videos might be a bit erratic over the next couple of weeks as we adapt to our new family member but it will be a fun journey! Don’t forget that today is the last day of my birthday special over at my online school. Use coupon code HB43 to save 43% on any class there through tonight! So, what would you name this pup? She is such a good dog, I can tell already! Til next time happy crafting!
🥰 awww! She’s adorable.

I like short names that end in an “e” sound. Remember you are going to say it a lot!!!
My dog, a six pound Pom, is named Tiramisu which is Italian for a “little pick me up”. Although she doesn’t especially like to be picked up! We call her Misu. (I know…breaks my rule of “e” ending name. Lol)
She is nine and a lot of work but we love her to dead. Good luck with the training of your new best friend.

She is a lovely looking pup….and I too think Snickers is a cute name, However I just want to warn you about the rope toy. If she is a real chewer and has a tendency to swallow any of the rope it can cause a lot of problems for her digestive system and has even been known to cause death in dogs. Just want to give you a heads up. Good luck and enjoy

This is wonderful news. Maybe some puppy tutorials in our future? I never got over losing our Nemothesidekick (he has his own FB page) who was a golden retriever and became a therapy dog and kids in a nearby library read to him every week. He is forever in my heart and I swore I’d ever get another dog….3 years later and we now have TWO!! There’s always room in our hearts for dog love. Very happy for you and your family. Hide the shoes.

Just a word of caution:
Rope toys are NOT good as the threads can be ingested and wrap around the dogs intestinal tract. I got this from our breeder who has been breeding for over 20 years.

I can’t think of a better bday present than a new puppy named Snickers. I lost my beloved Lilypug two years ago. I think you’re very wise to have waited for the right puppy at the right time. My husband couldn’t deal with the quiet so we had a new pug in a week and I’m just now starting to really bond with her. It was just too early for me. But my husband adores her and I’m now beginning to see some of the more subtle personality traits that I couldn’t or wouldn’t see before. She isn’t exactly a subtle girl. She thinks she’s a Jack Russell and she doesn’t like the word no. She has lots of spunk when she is barking from behind our legs at the armadillos or horses or loud noises. She loves TV and sits at attention like she thinks in the military. Have fun with your Snickers. I know your kids must be over the moon

She’s a sweetie! I think Snickers is perfect! One thing I’ve learned over the years is that longer names (over 2 syllables) always get shortened in the course of use. Sometimes even 2 syllables. Our granddaughter named her puppy “Nettle” but they always call her Nettie now….Clementine would probably end up “Clem”. Lol! You’ll enjoy her regardless of what you name her. She looks mostly Shepherd, and they’re really smart dogs – she’ll likely be easy to train.
