So far, that’s the only close up I’ve been able to take of him where he wasn’t a) moving too fast for the camera to focus on, or b) impossible to see because of the “can’t photograph a black dog” problem. He’s named after the classic Loony Tunes “I will call him George” routine that appears (I believe) in several of the cartoons. Here’s one example.

We’ve had him for about 3 days now, and he seems to be settling in. There have been no issues between him and Lucky, our old dog, and there’s even some signs that they are going to be ok with each other…

Not quite friends yet.

He’s a purebred Black Labrador Retriever, with very strong parentage. He also already has the “sad puppy eyes” thing down perfectly…

Ah, what's wrong George? 🙁

We’re still in the phase where we have to get up once in the night to let him out, so Deb and I are both a bit sleep deprived right now, but that shouldn’t last too long — he says hopefully.

  1. OMG he’s so cute! I’m very happy for you all. Puppy smell! And I love the name, I had always thought of that name for that reason.

    Congratulations on the new addition to the family!
