Meet Jeff

11/22/2010

Photos

Jeff (or Jeffery) is 12 weeks old.  He’s a virgo, and he’s into balls.  All types.  He’s half golden retriever and half poodle. (Yes there is a name for this breed, but it’s embarrassing to say out loud).  His friends like him for his sense of humor, and he spends most of his free time home on the couch.

Go ahead. Start blasting me about how tied down I’ll be with a dog.  I know I travel.  I know I’m spontaneous in the evenings.  I know I work a lot.  I know I’m barely potty trained myself.

But you tell me how I can come home to this and stay in a bad mood.

Also, I just bought a condo, and this park is my new backyard.  How can I not have a dog?

Finally, Jeff is a source of inspiration for my blog.  His comedic timing is impecable.  On Friday I asked him where he’d rather sleep than next to me.  This was his response.

    First of all – You just made the BEST decision of your life! Enjoy your freaking adorable pup!!

    And second – Is he a Pootreiver? A GoldiePoo? What?….What is he??? I have no idea.

    You won't be tied down or neglectful of Jeff! There's this modern invention called friends, family, and doggy day care/boarding where it's like they get to go to the park 24/7. They love it!

    have fun! ;)

    labradoodle?
    and you would name him jeff. but hooray for getting a dog (and a new condo, btw!)!!! he's adorable- hopefully we'll see more pics of him and read of his adventures!

    Enjoy your Goldendoodle. According to Google, that's what the breed is called. However, I kinda like JamietheVWM's "GoldiePoo".

    I can't make fun of you, though… My wife and I have a miniature Daschund. Most people call that breed a "Doxie".

    Definitely enjoy it, though. I don't know if you have kids, but having a puppy is the next best (or worst, depending on the day) thing.

    A Poo-treiver. Amazing.

  • jay @ bethegospel

    I love my dog. He makes me happy. He is a mini daschund and crawls up on my chest and sleeps. I tweet about him all the time. don't feel bad, good on ya for getting a dog!

    Hey, I think my parents have a miniature Daschund, too. That's a wiener dog, right? I've never heard "Doxie" – that's cute…. I call it a "mini-weinie".

    Sandy’s smiling on you. Jeff is awesome and you just made the best decision! Love it!

    the running picture is incredible.
    It is like that last scene in Homeward bound. I sitll cry at it.
    "Shadow?"
    "Peeeter. I'm home."
    "SHADOW!!!"
    "Oh Peter…I missed you so much"
    Or it's like Dog Baywatch.

    What a cutie! He's adorable. I've been thinking about getting a dog… thanks for the inspiration

    Awwww! I love him! I will watch him when you are out of town!

    1-"Whoever said you can't buy love never had a dog"-welcome to the club
    2-I have a Jackhuahua. Beat that mixed breed name. Although Pootreiver kind of sounds like he was bred to retreive poo…
    3-I agree with Natalie. Friends were invented for puppy-sitting. The lowered blood pressure from having a dog totally negates the heightened blood pressure from seeing the vet/boarding bills.

  • aliciawolman

    yay!!! so they are called ''goldendoodles''

    however – a lot of my friends have them, and I call them the "doods"
    sounds better.

    So…Jeff can be a dood.

    and, we have doodle romps over here in DC. It's pretty awesome. because doodles love to romp with each other the most.

    you could make a doodle romp in your area so Jeff can hang out with the other non shedding wonders of the world.

    AND I know another dog named Jeffy. Which I also think is a funny name.
    I also know dogs named Brian, Mike, Cindy, Jack, George, Lucy, Kevin, and other random human names that sound funny on dogs. Including Greg. LOL

    If you travel, take him with you. No one will be allergic to him. So if they have an issue, tell them to go somewhere else :-p
