Aw!!!!! Who's the puppy? Come on you have to spill now.
I hope that's not a Whangdoodle!
Looks like a stowaway...hopefully toilet trained like my giraffes.
LOL!!
This adorable little guy is Murphy, and he belonged to a friend of a friend. They were having a cookout, and poor little Murphy was looking for some human reassurance.
I started petting him and he wound up putting his head in my lap and cuddling with me for quite some time (as demonstrated in the picture.) Even his owner was impressed, especially since I've never seen myself as a dog person.
I know I wrote all about Woovy (my friend's yellow dog) in another thread, but I totally fell in love with Murphy. It was the first time in my life that I ever felt like I was bonding with a dog.
He was very calm and literally wouldn't let me stop petting him, as he would put his little paw on my arm every time I paused. (Since I'm not used to dogs -- and don't speak dog -- I actually had to ask my friends what this meant, and they told me to keep on petting him!)
And yes,
@Lanolin, not only is he potty trained, but is an extremely well-mannered dog.
The day proved to be a bit too much excitement for him and he got sick

.
He suddenly got up from my lap, but chose to have his sickness spell in the corner -- the poor little guy was so polite that he actually waited until he got to an isolated spot -- rather than getting sick on my lap, which I very much appreciated.
I was very excited when we went back to their house for a graduation party, but alas, the owners had put him in doggie daycare so that he hopefully wouldn't get sick again.
I was a bit heartbroken, as I didn't really know any of the humans there except my friends, and I was looking forward to just petting Murphy the whole time.
And, to
@Sculpt's relief, I'm pretty sure that Murphy isn't a Whangdoodle -- not even partially -- at least, he sure didn't act like one.
