This is Cole.  He's the newest addition to the family.  He's a really good dog that we adopted from a lady who, unfortunately, couldn't keep him.  She didn't charge me an adoption fee, but she screened us along with other candidates to make sure he was going to a good home.  Although he had no fee, per se, I gave the lady a thank you gift for her troubles.  I know it's not the same as a dog, but I wanted to show my appreciation somehow.

He's already found a new favourite toy here, the squeeky plush ball in the video.  He had some favourites of his own that he brought along, but he's seem to take to this toy pretty quickly, much like King took to his giraffe toy mentioned in The Lorre D Report #003. 

He seems like a really nice dog, and he's good off of the leash!  He won't bolt out the door, which is definitely a bonus.  His coat is a bit short right now with a recent summer haircut, but it will soon grow back out to look more like his Chow Chow coat.  He's a Schipperke-Chow mix and ~20 lb.  He has a lot of Chow visual characteristics (even the purple tongue), but at a Schipperke size. 

He's a really nice boy and I look forward to our time together.  I'm sure King would have liked him, too. 

King and Kabika looking at each other:
(they really are)

I couldn't get him to stay still for a picture, I think he's a bit camera shy, but King is a really great dog. 

I adopted him from the shelter on Saturday and he's already become a part of the family.  He's a 2yo chow chow that I adopted from the Baldwin Park shelter and he's truly a joy.  He's so well-mannered and behaved.  He's great on the leash and seems to be already house-trained.  He's gentle and friendly without being too much of a pushover.  He's so well behaved, in fact, that I had to pick him up and get him to sit and lay down on the bed that I bought him just so that he knew that it was okay to be on it, otherwise he would have kept on just circling it and laying next to it.

He made his family "debut" on Saturday for my cousin's birthday party.  There were 5 dogs in total there, all mostly meeting for the first time, and they all got along (definitely a good thing).  King got a lot of compliments on how behaved/nice he is, how big he is, and how nice his coat is.  He's starting to shed right now which means a lot of combing/raking for me, but his fur is a nice red and is looking better the more i comb it out. 

I'll try to get a better picture of his face soon.  So far, he's only really barked twice, both times are when Kabika (the 5mo shih tzu seen in a previous post) seemed like he was trying to get a treat that I gave King.  Other than that, they're becoming pals and play with each other in the back patio. 

Overall, this adoption turned out better than I had hoped for and I couldn't be more satisfied with King.

7.5wk old F pit bull / german shepherd mix.  And she was selling herself!  Very likable when I was holding her.  Maybe tomorrow?



[update] While I was waiting to hear back from someone, another customer bought this pup.  Sad.

Kuma!
