From MO, ~12 weeks old. The little black guy (Woodrow) is a schnauzer/poodle. He's built like a schnauzer puppy, with longer poodley- legs. Took that pic of the white one (Marco) before I had a chance to bathe or even comb him. His coat's a dream - no tangles! The comb just glides through. Oh, he's a pip.
We also got a pair of 5-6 month old "Teddy Bears" - have you heard of them? New designer mix, Bichon/Shih Tzu. (Also called Zuchon.) Some breeders add a little poodle for good measure. She was passed over by the broker for incorrect coat (short, fuzzy-curly) and I guess her brother was just an extra. He's a foof. Little dog, big, BIG foof. Think maltese after he put his tongue in an electric socket.
Also, a 4-month old goldendoodle (Bruce, who's already almost 50 pounds, and break-your-heart sweet), an 8-month old Golden girl (petite, loves dogs, distrusts humans), a 3-year old Bichon (Bunny, VERY sweet, coming around very quickly, might be able to talk a prior adopter into her), a teeny-tiny 12-week old Rattie girl (Pixel), and three adult Jack girls (Pebbles, Peaches, and Petra). Got them home, got the Jacks into crates, and discovered the smooth-coated girl is missing her right hind foot. She's also missing half her left ear, her right front foot has been chewed upon, and her remaining hind foot bears the scars of another attempt at amputation. She must have been in a cage with a canine shark below, who chomped off any body part that dropped through the wires.

Asking to come in
She's small-ish. Maybe 13-14 pounds. She gets along great with other dogs (and is VERY patient with puppies jumping and chewing on her), ignores cats, and is just the sweetest, calmest girl. One of my cat ladies (someone I've spent time with in person, and who I've known for 12 years now) fell in love with her, as soon as I can find someone traveling my friend's way (NY state), Petra the three-footed wonder will be on her way to her new home.

Can't spend too much time indulging in grief for the lost babies, got too much else to do. Keeping busy helps.
