Unnamed Poodle

This poodley dog is more like a bunny who barks but don't tell him that. Wouldn't want to give him a complex or anything. Not that there's anything wrong with being a bunny. Of course if he were a bunny, he'd be chubbier and warm enough outside that I wouldn't have to put a fake woolly coat on him to take him for a walk.

This is totally a guy thing but walking a cutesy little dog in a precious little coat makes most guys feel uncomfortable, especially in a crowd of rowdy hockey fans who just happened to be in the vicinity, and so to compensate I had to talk louder, and in a deeper voice, about manly things like fixing cars and chopping wood. Err, perhaps I'm the one with a complex.




The best way to check on the adoption status of this dog (and other dogs and cats and other small domestic animals) is to visit Toronto Animal Services adoption website or call 416 338 6668 for the Toronto Animal Services South shelter. If the dog is no longer on the TAS adoption website, it's probably because it's been adopted already.

  1. He's beautiful. His face looks a lot like my Havanese - but with curlier hair.

  2. I think he looks very spiffy in his fur collared coat - a bit like Game of Thrones, so no need for the macho talk of cars and such!! Another one that will no likely be scooped up in days due to the high cuteness factor!

  3. How can you tell when he's making eye contact? I think he would be even cuter after a trim!

  4. He reminds me of Sam Jaffe in his later roles, all eggbeater hair and eyebrows....

  5. No eyes. Just amazing eyebrows.

  6. We brought Tyler (as we called him) home tonight after work.

    He was a nervous wreck for most of the long car ride home (from the Ex to Leslieville in rush hour traffic!); but he settled down shortly before we got home.

    Once home he jumped and whined and barked for about an hour, but gradually calmed down. We wrestled (he started it!) :P and had a good play - and after a couple of hours, he began playing by himself with his new toys and exploring our bedroom (where he's quarantined until he sees the vet on Monday) at which point he'll be introduced to the other fur babies.

    Right now, he's tucked up against my feet, sleeping and passing gas.

    Bliss. For all of us. :)

    (I'll send you a real update with pics in a couple of weeks. But thanks for introducing us to this wonderful, happy little boy.)
