[Michael the Iconographer]

No, not the awesome player on the Penguins, but rather the puppy who was named after the Penguins awesome Finn! She is a very playfull 11 week old American Cocker Spaniel.

You can blame the gf for that one. She was acting like a proud new mother. Right now I am trying to fall back asleep after she woke me at 3 am to go to the bathroom and she is chewing on my toes.

Welcome to having 'kids'!
Is that a pink loofah dog that she has??? Those are Hamish's favorite toys, we call them his girlfriend cuz he has one that he drags around everywhere.

[Anhelyna]

That is one very very cute pup - and one that knows it too

[SeekingTheLight]

She is as feisty as Jarrko! She is constantly trying to get the rest to play with her, to no avail!

I was just chearing the goal by Jarrko Ruutu and she was looking at me as if I was calling her!!!

[Khaleas]

It's Jarkko...
Good, she must be smart too! That was one sweeeeet (and swell) goal!
Btw, heard anything from Mr Nutroll?

And where is your cell? I've been texting you when I'm watching this Sens-kicking game...

I am still trying to figure out if it was my spiffy Mario Lemieux jersey in the style they wore when they won the cup in '92 or my puppy Ruutu that caused the Pens to sweep the Sens?!?!

[Michael the Iconographer]

Unfortunately this is one dog that knows how to turn on the charm!

She is really gorgeous

Only one problem :P

Does she really believe that she is a dog - and you are the BIG BOSS :D:D:D

DUH, and you have to ask... Dog of course, I mean didn't you notice who scored the spiffiest goal of the game!!!!

Not in this universe!!!
In that household Michael is at the bottom of the food chain... :D

But positively thinking, at least Ruutu has a normal tounge! And big feet!

[Anhelyna]

Doubtless she will grow into her big feet :)

As to the tongue - well it's normal at present but if she starts copying the others - well who knows what will happen. She could develop a degree of envy as regards the loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong tongue.

[Mary of Bethany]

Michael,

Congrats on your Pens sweeping the Sens!

I wish Darryl Sydor was getting some playing time, though. :(

Mary

[ma2000]

She's very cute :)

[Michael the Iconographer]

DUH, and you have to ask... Dog of course, I mean didn't you notice who scored the spiffiest goal of the game!!!!
Does that mean she gets an extra reward if they win the Stanley Cup?

[Michael the Iconographer]

Michael,

Congrats on your Pens sweeping the Sens!

Mary
The Pens have the problem of having 7 highly skilled defensemen and only 6 active roster spots for them. Thus someone like Sydor loses playing time.

Where did you get that crazy idea?

She needs to grow into those HUGE feet! It is so funny seeing her belly flop when she trips over them!

I'm here! I got back from NJ to find that a bull dog named Panzer has been replaced with a cocker Spaniel named Ruutu and that Michael is only getting surgery in one hand for now. So much has changed in my absence.

Hand #2 is going to happen in about 6 weeks. The gf is much more excited about the Cocker Spaniel than the Bulldog idea, although I am still working on that one. Once one of the ET's passes away (GOD FORBID!!!) I should have her convinced that we do in fact need a Bulldog! Did you see I am getting a new Honda in the morning?

[nutroll]

I did not read about the Honda. Although with all these changes I have seen happen while I was gone, I wouldn't be surprised if you end up getting a Hyundai instead....

Matt, you are furry and parasitical!!! Everyone knows that Hondas are infallibly designed and that is why they are near flawless to own!!!

[nutroll]

I would have expected you to drive a German automobile. Frankly, I'm slightly taken aback by your embracing of a non-German vehicle.

[Khaleas]

Yea, I mean come on! Change - IS OUTRAGE!!!

My gf has a VW Turbo Beetle S. But I have had 2 Hondas and both have been indestructible, so why buy anything else?

Indestructible until they get impact from other car... :P

The other driver should now be public enemy #1!

[Michael the Iconographer]

Incredible, I managed to threadjack my own thread!!! Ok, back to the topic of the puppy!!!

Not at all, but now we must get back to my spiffy new puppy and her ability to lead the Penguins to a Stanley Cup!!!

[Khaleas]

She'll need one of these

That is awesome, but I wonder if I should wait till she grows a bit or she will grow out of one really quick!

[Michael the Iconographer]

Jennie,
The gf and I bought Ruutu a t-shirt yesterday at Kohls in order to start training her to wear shirts. She did not seem to mind it, but we did need to pin it at the bottom on the shirt so that her hind legs didnt get caught up in it. She is going to look so adorable in her hockey jersey!!!

By the way, she is cute, but hardly innocent. She terrorizes Oliver, Brittany and Tikhon. She is constantly growling at them and trying to get them to play with her and upsetting them. It is a sight to see!

[Michael the Iconographer]

Bump!
