As you know I adopted Oliver the Terrier/Poodle a week ago. On our first day he felt right at home jumping right up on the couch and taking a nap after his big drive home. He is very polite. He's met many people, dogs, and even cats! We went to the vet the very next day for which he got a clean bill of health. There are very minimal behavioral problems which are coming along very nicely.
Today we went to the groomers which was only mildly traumatic but she
assures me that if we keep giving Oliver encouragement he'll
eventually be able to face the "evil hair dryer" :) Just thought
you would like to see his before and after.
Update October '12
Oliver has since gotten a haircut, met lots of new friends, and
gathered up lots of new toys since we first got him home. He's
developed a very interesting and quirky personality. His best
friends are myself and especially my nephew because he's Oliver's size
so they love to play together. He has been entered in the
Brockville's cutest pet contest and with six days left he is currently
in first place. It's no surprise considering Oliver has never
met anyone that didn't think he was cute. If he wins I will let
you know.
This is the photo we are using for cutest pet.
Waiting to go for his walk so patiently.
Nothing he loves more than laying upside down so you can rub his belly.
Sometimes he tries to stop me from getting ready for work so he can spend more time with me.
Getting prepared for Halloween and trying out his new sweater.
Update November '12
So as you know, Oliver was in a cutest pet contest here in Brockville
...
The prize was a photo shoot with a local photographer and of course
owning the title. Here's a couple of photos that were edited
from his day in the limelight :)
Update December '12
Oliver had a little trip to our local mall where they were hosting pet
photos with Santa. He was a little nervous about the guy with
the giant beard but after being offered a treat he was Santa's best
friend. Due to copyright I couldn't get the actual picture
copied. However, here is a picture of the picture haha. He's a
very brave boy.
Update September '13
Hey there!!
He has been getting acquainted with the new members of the family. My nephew Izaac just adores Oliver's fluffy head.
He's sucking up to grandma as we all know the grandkids are good at
haha! She spoils him rotten.
Two months ago we moved into an apartment. He obviously was a little nervous but soon found a couch to call his own :)
My sister
just recently had a baby boy and Oliver gets along with him
fantastically however, for your amusement, poor Oliver has a little
trouble sharing attention...
Update August '20 Oliver (who is now 9 years old) is still doing wonderful. He truly is the love of my life. He especially enjoys spending time with my grandparents down on the river while listening to their classical music. My grandma is one of his favourite people. He shares lots of smiles and makes the life of my entire family better. In the last year we moved from an apartment to house with my sister and nephew. He enjoys the yard and the company of them very much. He also enjoys spending time on my parents’ hobby farm sitting on the front porch and enjoying the fresh air. I like to think he is living his best life. Although the quarantine has been tough on all of us, Oliver is taking this time to enjoy his family and be the lovable, adorable pup that he is. Since I’ve received Oliver he has become quite the little celebrity for everyone that he meets. He has won cutest pet in the local paper and because of the tattoo I got to represent him, he was even featured in Modern Dog magazine. We couldn’t be more thankful to you and all of the work you do to give all animals their forever home.
