It’s always late, I know, but Dino turned 11 years old on January 1st! I got Dino from a Coton de Tulear breeder in Oregon. He came by plane in a crate at 8 weeks old. Upon picking him up from SFO, I noticed a small crate in front of the tall reception/pickup desk. I thought to myself that it could not be my new puppies’ crate as the receptionist behind the tall desk could not see the crate and therefore would not know if it suddenly disappeared. Then I saw this very small light beige cotton ball of a puppy, in the small crate, standing on his hinds, paws up panting like saying ‘here I am, here I am!’ That started my love for my new puppy and also proved that his name Dino (for Dino Flinstone) was appropriate. Here’s my boy’s doggie portrait at Lands End SF.
