Ohhhhhh! That face! Love the one on your website in the car. Awww…. And next to Bixby…hilarious. Scout looks like a tiny little toy. I hope Bixby is head over heels.

So cute. The little white paws. The giant size difference. Bixby so excited and yet so calm. Congratulations.

So cute! I hope Scout will help all of you continue to heal after the terrible loss of Bailey.

Puppeh! Yay!

Scout, but not dressed as a ham.

Anyone else ever associate Tucker Carlson with Carlton Banks?
Sandia Blanca
How adorbs! (as the kids say) She looks like a baby seal. So happy for both of them and all of you.
Mike J
@Butthurt Jordan Trombone (fka XTPD): That’s not unusual.
Amir Khalid
She’s adorable. I trust there will be plenty of pictures and stories so we can all squee over Scout.

PUPPEH!!!

Tired puppeh. First day in a new home, so many smells, plus that giant guy sniffing at her. Must be exhausting.
Thanks for sharing Scout’s homecoming with us. I hope she gladdens your and Bixby’s heart: not a replacement of Bailey (who cannot be replaced) but a fine successor.

Sweet puppeh!!

What a sweetheart!

Aww, congrats ! And welcome to Scout! Enjoy!

@Butthurt Jordan Trombone (fka XTPD): You posted something yesterday that I at first thought was just weird twitter, and I wrote a good reply. And then I was afraid that what I wrote was just a rephrasing of what you said and my current mental state was making the obvious into a joke, or vice versa.
But Prince Albert really was full of shit.

Too, too adorable! I especially enjoy the photos of Bixby and Scout together. I hope she’s all he’d hoped for!

@jacy: so sorry for the loss of your sweetie. Glad you had each other for such a long lovely spell.

Welcome, Scout! Saw your hed, and I was all “Oh, the puppy! The puppy is coming home!”

Bon Appetit has perfect timing. Just posted a sloppy taco recipe.

Congratulations on such cuteness finding a wonderful new home with you. I’m off to bed myself, but thought I’d share the weather at the Mount Washington observatory in NH (summit 6288′), 12:32 AM Jan. 5. Temperature -8 F., wind 93 mph, gust 101 mph, wind chill -51F. (Mountwashington.org)

Congratulations — to you, and Bixby, and most of all young Scout!

@Mike J: The Stalin comment from yesterday? That didn’t get any replies (and as such I’m not entirely sure what the Prince Albert reference is).
ETA: Might be this comment, though I still don’t get the Prince Albert reference.
Mike J
@Butthurt Jordan Trombone (fka XTPD): On Twitter. Penis ring balderdash and Charles Dickens.
Butthurt Jordan Trombone (fka XTPD)
@Mike J: now I get the reference. Well played.
Mike J
@Butthurt Jordan Trombone (fka XTPD): There was more to it that really tied in the Dickens thing, but I can’t remember.
It is a cute pupper though.

Scout is adorable. New photos soon. Please!

I have a Scout, too. Great cat, great dog, great name.
When she’s being sweet, she’s addressed as Jean-Louise. When she’s being a little shit, I have been known to sing “Scout, Scout, get the fuck out, you are the cat I can do without, come on, I’m talking to you, come on”.

Scout is adorable!!

I added a picture up top…just walked into the living room and saw them.

I know it’s the way of all critters leaving the litter, but I see a bit of grief and solitaryness in Scout’s face as she heads to her forever home, not knowing what lies before her – not knowing that Bixby was waiting for her. And even with the comfort of Bixby, she’s still a sleepy little puppo who misses her momma and littermates. Soon to be forgotten, but still – it’s her first foray into big dog-hood.

@TaMara (HFG):
Do your doggies allow you to sit on their couch?
My cocker took over my lazy boy and I was never allowed to sit in it again.
?BillinGlendaleCA
@Ruckus: Our cocker is pretty good about giving up her couch when guests visit, but she is always excited to see guests. The yorkiepom won’t give up HER couch.

@TaMara (HFG):
Great picture! Seems she’s “adapting.” LOL.

People standing in line at midnight on a freezing Thursday to buy Wolff’s book (photo)
Elizabelle
TaMara: welcome to Scout. What fun lies ahead. You had “The Bixby Diaries.” Now for the “Chronicles of Scout”, or whatever you choose to name it …
@Suzanne: Love your Scout song. Singing to pets is the best.
Elizabelle
@David ??Merry Christmas?? Koch: If someone is making book (literally) off the #Resist sentiment, kind of sorry it’s Michael Wolff, who seems to be a bit of a dick. Although, better him than a Maggie Haberman NYTimes stenographer, or other Villager.
Haven’t gotten through the Wolff excerpts, because it makes me sad that so many would not support a well qualified woman over someone who was notably not fit for the job. At all. Whole thing has been a tragedy. May it destroy the GOP, though, and wake people up about how cracked some of their fellow Americans have become. (I blame Fox News/rightwing fantasy land for a lot of this. May be hard to deprogram.)

The pupdates are appreciated; please persist through the weekend.
Just to remind me of how much work would be involved in getting our 9.5yo Dane a puppy. I’ve been tempted this week.
raven
It’s good to be home with out doggies! I’m sick as one and can’t sleep and it can’t be healthy .
Amir Khalid
@Elizabelle:
If the Wolff book helps to grow public disaffection with Trump’s wretched presidency and Republican misrule in general, I’m all for it.
Elizabelle
@raven: Hope you feel better soonest. Glad you got to attend an epic Rose Bowl. Haven’t seen your reports, and look forward to them.
@Amir Khalid: Quite.
Sab
What a cute puppeh. Scout looks so big looking over the shoulder, and so tiny sleeping beside Bixby.
Manyakitty
Sweet puppeh! I’m sure she’s already made herself at home. Much love.

SCOUT! BIXBY! Happiness!

Congratulations on the new addition to the family. She’s beautiful! What breed is Scout?

Awwww! Scout is adorable. Can’t wait to see more pics. Look forward to seeing Bixby help raise her, and their ad/mis adventures together.
Kristine
Lovely photos! Yea for new puppy. Very happy that Bixby has a new buddy.
WaterGirl
Welcome home, Scout! You don’t know it yet, but you won the doggie lottery.

Love the puppy’s markings. How old is Scout and how big do you think he will be when full grown?
Five years ago our older dog was very lonesome for her partner who had passed away at 13. We got a puppy a few months later and she was so happy to have a doggy pal again. She took on a protective maternal role, ok, this is my baby, making sure she was between the puppy and any other dogs trying to play with her. Later on when our dogs were at kennel while we were on vacation, the kennel owner, a dog whisperer, told us she had to have a talk with our older dog because she wouldn’t let her pal play with the other dogs there and the talk worked.

@bemused: oh, that sounds like the StellaLuna Chronicles. My big dog Stella was a rescue, and quite clearly saw guarding me as Her Job. Which was cool for a while, but her energies were better expended on Luna Puppy. Stella became her guardian, her auntie, and chew toy. It was a beautiful thing to behold.

Scout is adorable!
Not that I’m biased or anything about family members with that name ;-)

Those doggy love relationships are so sweet to watch!
