MarTÍn aka Martini
A Doggy in the Window
Furrilycious is actually a pet store in New Jersey. We bought Martin there in the winter of 2017. He was born on December 30, 1016 on an Iowa farm. Genetically he is an F1b mini golden doodle.
Training a puppy.
When Martin joined us Monica was going back and forth to Quito to deal with her mother's affairs. Martin and I faced housebreaking together. Here he shows his contempt for his crib in my study.
Puppies follow you...even to the loo.
I thought Martin following me everywhere was a hoot until he crawled into my boxers while I was indisposed. Once he had poked his head through my fly I realized I needed to add some distance.
Learning stairs
There was a bit of hesitation with the stairs but Matini is a quick study.
The best dog
Monica quickly loved the puppy entirely, but so did everyone else. A period went by when we had to check departing cars for dognapping.
Mate Martini
Martin joined me on Sassy for many trips around NYC, but he never really got passionate about the rocking.
At the lake
Turns out Martin loves the lake and the Adirondacks.
On the porch with Erin
Another case of instant bonding.
Dogs look like their owners.
Of course with my kids around I can be made to look like my dog.
In our bed...
You had to ask where he sleeps at night. Inevitable.
Cisco!
Just when you think you are king of the castle, your best buddy arrives.
