Gizmo Burps

Little Gizmo is a true truckers dog.  He eats his food, cleans his face, then lets out a little doggie burp that can be heard on the recording from the phone.  Take a listen....it's really cute.

Chapter 4 - Hitting the road...becoming a trucking dog

LET'S GO TRUCKING!!!!

Ready to rock and roll.



"Really?  It's my turn to drive?  But, I'm still just learning!"



Gizmo's the new dash ornament



Both tongues hanging out!



Ahh....ain't he handsome?  Love that flopped ear.



"How about an evening with me...dahling!"



Gizmo loves his pillows.  Only dog we've ever seen that actually uses them for his head.

Chapter 3 - Let's meet some more family

So, Gizmo has even more family down in Visalia, California.  There he got to meet....

Natalie

Christopher

Uncle Larry

....and Dozer. 

It was a great visit and everyone had a lot of fun holding the little guy.  Then he scored on a cool basket of toys.  Gizmo even got to keep the basket and it became his bed for quite a while.  What an awesome family for sure.

Now, how is that for a score.  A cool toybox, bed and Gizmo fits right in.  You can barely tell him from all his toys.  Spoiled already and barely 2 months old.



Chapter 2 - Meeting the family

After his successful visit at the vets office, Gizmo was off to meet some of his new family.  Auntie Kim, Uncle Mike and cousins Ryan and Liz.

He fits perfectly on the console of our Silverado. Very alert to everyone around him. 

Ryan is totally excited about the new puppy.  Can you tell?

Chapter 1 - His first visit to the Vet

Hello everyone,

This is a blog just about our little doggie, Gizmo.

When Gizmo joined us, back in December of 2009, he was no more bigger than a little curly puff ball.  We were at the pet store in the Vancouver Mall in Vancouver Washington.  We saw a litter of these cute little curly pups.  Their sign said "Pomadoodles."  What the heck was that?

He's part Pomeranian and part Poodle.  He's got the attitude of a poodle along with the hair and the obedience of a Pomeranian.   All-in-all, Gizmo is the greatest dog around.

We picked the littlest one up.  He looked in to our eyes and our hearts melted.  Rob held him in his hand, put him close to his chest and Gizmo began suckling on the palm of his hand.  I took him for a sec and inspected him, propped him up in the palm of my hand and he just let me move him where ever I wanted.  He was so calm.  The perfect puppy.

So, that was it....we chose to buy the little guy.  Our Christmas present to each other.  Gizmo was born November 3rd, 2009.

Follow along with Gizmo and us as he grows up from his first vet visit to his first truck ride.  See him playing dress up and just being a ham in front of the camera.  He really is a great little dog and companion.

The receptionist just couldn't wait to see our little bundle of joy.  We originally named him "Grizzly" and that was what they wrote on his charts.  He looked like a Grizzly bear pup.  But later, we decided that he looked more like a little Gremlin, so we renamed him Gizmo.  That name stuck.

Gizmo's doctor just couldn't get over the cute puppy kisses she was getting.  She had to pause from writing in the chart to return some of the kisses.

Can you believe our little baby weighed a whopping 1 pound 4 ounces? At 6 weeks old, he got a clean bill of health and we were told that we could enjoy several wonderful years with our new little boy.

Our own personal pocket pup.  The vetaranarian assistant just couldn't resist putting little Gizmo in her smock pocket.  How perfect.
