Cute poker: wanna play?
First up, I need to say I know very little about gambling in general or poker in particular. But for this post, let’s pretend I have more experience and knowledge than that gleaned from that Eric Bana/Drew Barrymore Las Vegas flick (name that movie?) and watching seemingly possessed people hand over great wads on cash during a two night stay in that very city about 15 years ago. (Yes I was 10 at the time! And no, I won’t put any money on that statement!)
…
So if you keep this little disclaimer in mind I have a couple of wagers for you.
Firstly…
What could possibly be sweeter than a newly-blooming old-fashioned red rose…
And cuter than a four-week old kelpie puppy?Care to have a gamble? If we keep in mind the current state of the world’s financial markets, let’s lay a couple of imaginary internet pennies on the answer?
Give up?
How ’bout a four-week-old kelpie puppy stalking said luscious rose (with quite a bit of encouragement from a certain six-year-old blond boy).…
I walked up from the sheds yesterday to the sight of No Name (our puppy-for-the-moment-whom-we-are-NOT-going-to-get-attached-to-as-he-is-going-to-a-new-home-any-day-now!) carting a red rose gaily around the Granite Glen house yard, with a certain blond six-year-old gleefully giggling in pursuit. By the time I’d located my trusty D100, Dash and No-Name were settled on the lawn playing Taunt and Destroy the Rose.
…
And while I felt a little sorry for the lovely bloom, the delight on both faces was more than compensation enough.
Mmmmmmmm… rose petal entree!
My favourite. Thanks Dash!
Hang on… its moving… this thing’s still alive!!!
Grrrrrr! Stand back… I’ll take care of this dastardly thorny thing!
Grrrr!
Right. That’s better. Mmmmm. Tasty.
I am possibly not the most objective person to say this, but someone has to. That could well be the cutest thing I ever saw. (No. No. Not getting attached.)
Anyone care to see me, and raise me?

I can see Dash isn’t attached at all..no… I don’t envy you the day ‘no name’ goes to his new home.

Looks to me like No-Name is already at home! If Dash doesn’t cry when No-Name goes, I’m gonna.

Oh, dear. I think I have a red and white border collie pup that’s a close second, but that is one cute puppy. . . and kid. Much, much cuter than that snake.

That movie was Lucky You.
The only thing I can see is you raising that puppy. They are the cutest thing ever.
You should name him Lucky!

Everyone, don’t you think BB’s next contest should be ‘Name that Puppy?’
*walks off musing… Oz sounding name… Toto? No, no, no…*

Hmmm – the good thing is that No Name is set to go to a home that is visitable by Dash and TLW.

LOL
Take that you low down dirty rose!

Guys, guys, guys…. see this is why I didn’t post too much on this lil guy!! I knew you’d all get too attached. Lucky you have me around to keep you from getting all soppy (hand me a tissue please!).
Are you ready for a bandaid-ripping moment? No Name went to a new home this morning. TLW cried and No Name’s Mum (Bess) was a bit sad, but she’s back with her working mates and is fine. I will keep you posted on his progress (if we are really lucky, his new owner Molly might send us an update photo when they name him!).
Hang in there guys!

OMG! ‘No name’ looks just like my 13 year old Chow-Rotti mix when he was a puppy (minus the white). Adorable!!!! We definitely will need update pics from his new home. Rugby (that’s my dog) grew a huge fluffy ‘chow’ coat and he is still going strong! His 14th birthday is less than a week away. Hope little ‘no name’ lives as long, happily, and spoiled as Rugby!

I was not supposed to get attatched to Cous Cous either, but I guess crying most of the 5 hour drive home, means it did not work.
