Of course my heart melted when I saw him for the first time--He is bigger than I expected and just as precious as I knew he would be.
Eventually my visit with Lynn came to an end because it was time to get on the road and return to my neck of the woods. Todd was as good as gold for the 6 hour drive.
Speaking of Gold....Todd was a little overwhelmed yesterday at meeting all the Goldens for the first time.
That however has changed. Today Todd is trying to get to know his new pack just a little bit better and is either following them around or....
~Reggie & Todd~ |
laying around with them...
~Sam & Todd~ |
And really trying to make a friend out of Charlie who is, as expected, non too happy right now and is just trying to stay a few steps ahead.
We are keeping him away from Rudi, who is mostly ignoring him, which is just fine--In fact as our first day together is coming to an end, I think everything is just fine!
Todd just melts my heart - what a darling! He will be an absolute bundle of joy, you can just tell.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!

So glad you have Todd - and love the name. A blonde surfer dude!

That last picture of Todd knocks my socks off! He sure is making an effort to get to know the crew. I'd say he fits right in.
ReplyDeleteOh my... Todd is ADORABLE!!!!! I'm so glad he's settling in nicely. Give him a snuggle from me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a charmer! I think Charlie will come around soon - how could he not?
ReplyDeleteI am really, really happy for you and for little Todd - he couldn't have landed in a more loving, perfect home. I wish you many happy years together!
What big ears you have.. whats Charley's problem with the pup??.. Jealous I think.. I think he'll fit right in.. looks like he has
ReplyDeleteoh oh oh!!!! i'm in love. he is the tonic you and your whole gang needs. he looked a little dejected at leaving familiarity in the first pic... then he obviously decided "this is HOME!" i love the pics of him following reggie and lying there laughing with sam, and charlie's little nose is a bit bent out of shape, but he'll come around! i love you guys dearly!
ReplyDeletehappy saturday all. well done.

Oh Em Double GEE... I am in love with Todd! And who, by the way, thought of that adorable name?? You probably passed right by my house and didn't even wave, but that's okay. I'm sure you had your eyes on this adorable little creature. Too cute. Seriously.. way.too.cute.
ReplyDeleteDi
He is ADORABLE! I bet he's going to make the old gold feel like pup themselves!
ReplyDeleteSam
Oh my goodness Kim, look at those ears...what a precious sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteI know it will take some time for everyone to get adjusted and to find a new 'normal' but it will happen as you know.
I'm glad you had such a special time on your trip and Welcome Home!
Hi Kim -
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog through Rocky Creek - had to follow Todd and his new family :o) Your crew looks like they've welcomed him and I'm sure he'll be bossing everyone around in a couple of days - after all, he is a SCOTTIE!! Hope your Rudi is doing better - I've gone through the "not eating" part with one of mine in the past to no avail. She was just too sick to want to eat :o( It's frustrating to see them this way, though. Anyway, hope little Todd brings new joy to your home - we go through Lovettsville when we go to see our kids in Bristow, VA. Come visit me on my blog - quiltedscottie.blogspot.com -
Judie, Duncan & Hamish
He was my favorite of the Rocky Creek puppies, I am so glad to see him in your home and on the blog I can still watch him grow up.
ReplyDelete~Amanda
Ohhhh what a cutie patootie!!!! He looks like he is going to fit right in!!! What a wonderful family you have there!!!! Hugs, Joey and Kealani
ReplyDeleteYou are a very special person. I love that you rescue dogs. My heart goes out to Rudi and you! I found you through my friend's blog Joey and Kealani. I saw where you got one of Lynn's dogs. She is everything you said and more! I should know since I gradutated with her. Small world! Looking forward to reading updates about Todd and seeing his pictures.
