Camera-Critters Sunday #7

Meet Trooper the newest member of our family. We adopted him less than a week ago from the Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas, CA. He loves to play with toys, especially his squeaky toys. He's a 3-month old Shepherd/Husky mix and the baby brother to a nearly 15-year-old Golden Retriever mix and a 13-year-old Samoyed mix. He is especially fond of Ollie (the Sammy mix) and sticks to him like glue. Trooper is a love-bug... he loves to cuddle and he gives the best puppy kisses! Here he is playing with a pinecone in the backyard.


Trooper also has humongous eyebrows that are shaped like apostrophes. (Sometimes I think we should have named him Groucho!) And he almost always has one ear sticking up and the other ear flapped down.

Trooper is a wonderful pup and my husband is looking forward to taking him hiking, kayaking and fishing this Summer. Here he is sleeping in his favorite position (flat on his back). Oh, in case you're wondering... yes, he LOVES to have his belly rubbed!


Trooper says, "Thanks for stopping by... I hope everyone is having a nice weekend!"

Wow. Trooper is sooooooo cute. If I could have a dog (but I'm living in a teensy little apartment), he sounds like all the qualities of a dog that I would want.... what a beautiful dog that I am sure will be your best friend for many years!!

He looks like a Trooper. Sounds like your timing is perfect and your choice of where to adopt from --the number of euthanized dogs and cats is astounding. You are my shero today !!! good luck sandy

Molly says ‘woof’ and wants to play with Trooper … now! What a lucky pooch to have found a home with you. He’s beautiful and looks very happy. I wish I could get Molly to ‘pose’ like this ;--)

Today I could use some ‘gopher’ advice if you (or others) have any … but the main event in my Camera Critters this week (at Small Reflections) is Molly meeting a ‘look-alike’ last weekend … named Molly!
Hugs and blessings,

I can see Trooper is loving his new home! but how does prow prow feel...?

Misty DawnS said...

Oh my gosh - he is SO precious! I just wanna give him kisses and rub his belly! What a cutie! LOVE those eyebrows. My Tag has tan eyebrows and, while I talk to him, he will raise one eyebrow at a time as if he is analyzing what I am saying. It's hilarious.

Snooty Primadona said...

Oh, I'm laughing so hard. That is THE most adorable pup! That face is priceless... and those brows are to die for.

Ashrunner said...
