Head Lock

“You know, I don’t wish to appear unsportsmanlike, but I would like to call the referee’s attention to the possibility that my opponent may be wrestling outside of the designated weight class.”

    Um…where’s the rest of the puppy..?

      Doggo’s mouth? I think s/he’s really just cuddling the pup and keeping it safe and warm.

    I assume the rest of the puppy is under there, but I’m imagining a disembodied wrinkly head floating around the house like the world’s cutest vargouille.

      I had to Google ‘vargouille’, which just goes to show how edumacational this place is.

        Thrilled to enlighten you! 😀

        I didn’t know that word either. BFB, you’re a good edumacator.

        I feel very edumacated myself—but I have to say, I think the widdoo puppeh head is cuter than the vargouille descriptions by Quite a Lot.

        Of course, I’m biased, since I sent the pic in. But it just does me in every time I look at it. Tee-hee!

    I think that we can safely say that they’ve had a successful puppy integration.

    Looks like an interesting wart.

      They should name puppy Wort!

        They should name puppy Wart!

          That was my parents’ nickname for ME! I grew up being referred to as “Mutt” or “Wart”

    That is pretty much the way I sleep every night with a stuffed animal tucked under my chin (no, not when my boyfriend’s here… that would be weird ?)

    • Ricky's Mom February 1, 2019 / 9:12 pm

      Me, too … but since I JUST ADOPTED A NEW DOG, maybe not for much longer.

      Whee!

        What’d ya get?!?!?!

        • Ricky's Mom February 1, 2019 / 9:36 pm

          She’s a rescue, maybe three or four years old, and she looks like a Maltese-Shih Tzu mix. I met her early this afternoon, and her foster mom approved the match, so I’ve had little Miss Missy at home with me for a few hours now. She has a name, but has only had it for a few months, and I’m leaning toward a different name. When I settle on it, I’ll let you all know, and will send Mike a picture or two to post.

          So far she’s about the polar opposite of Ricky in temperament, and this is a good thing all around. I loved every impossible quirk of his cranky little soul, but I could use an easier ride this time around. No doubt we’ll face some challenges along the way regardless … life is like that.

          She sure is cute. Has a little underbite. Sleeping soundly at the moment.

            Can’t wait to see her!

          • Murray c February 1, 2019 / 11:10 pm

            I’m so excited for you, R’sM! Can’t wait to see pics.

          • dubravkamcvmd February 2, 2019 / 8:16 am

            WONDERFUL news! Can’t wait to see pictures!

      • debg February 1, 2019 / 9:53 pm

        I’m so happy for you! Didn’t want to push while you were thinking about it, but I knew you were missing darling Ricky.

        We can’t wait to hear more about your new girl.

        • Ricky's Mom February 1, 2019 / 10:00 pm

          Thanks. I really wasn’t ready until very recently. Then suddenly I was REALLY ready. And now I’m REALLY wondering what the heck I’ve done. 🙂 I know it will be okay, it’s just new-mom panic. Eek!

          • fkaWaldenPond February 1, 2019 / 10:18 pm

            Yes! and Awww! You can do it- in fact your girl has the ‘BEST MOM’. Congratulations and just so you know, I have a wonderful ear to ear smile, thank you.

          • Faye February 2, 2019 / 5:38 am

            Wonderful news. Definitely scary in the beginning. Consistent positive reinforcement did the trick for Millie and I.

            Cannot wait to hear her name and see pics. So happy for you.

      • N. Fritz February 2, 2019 / 9:42 am

        Yay Ricky’s Mom!!! So happy to hear about your new bundle of joy!
