Maybe.

Meet Ringo, our maybe dog.

We're not getting hopes up at all, because he's already pending with another family. He's a bit older (3-5?) than we were seeking (we were looking for a young pup to introduce to Poppy and be a "tide me over" when Poppy gets old.) But bottom line, the decision of what new dog to add to the family is Poppy's. She's a bit of an... alpha... shall we say. So we're looking for a second dog who can assume the correct spot in the pecking order and just generally provide companionship while keeping out of her face. So when they met, there was a basic intro, a sniffing, wagging of tails, and they just did their own thing. It was pretty good.

Ringo is an odd little thing, more poodle than Poppy, but taller, with long gangly legs. He makes her look downright stocky. He has an adorable face, but needs to put on a bit of weight, eat well, and fuzz up a bit. He's a bit sparse right now. And also, we think he's part antelope. Maybe gazelle.

Either way. He's a sweet boy.
