The rather precarious and peculiar adventures of Hoby and Jojo

Newdle for HoJo

For those who don’t know, Jo and I are in the process of getting a puppy.  The breed is called Newdle (pronounced noodle) or Newfeepoo.  It is a cross between a Newfoundland and a Standard Poodle and has the following characteristics:

  • curly, dark chocolate hair
  • slightly large in stature, like Golden Retriever but slimmer (hopefully)
  • doesn’t drool, which is nice for a large breed
  • doesn’t shed, which is just nice regardless of the breed
  • is quite smart
  • has a great personality

The breeder is Lucky Day Ranch (http://newfypoopuppies.com/). We went down to Cañon City last weekend to pick out our new puppy from this particular litter.  We will pick her up in about two weeks. We are thinking Cocoa for a name, but that is yet to be determined.  That may be tentative until we learn her personality a little more, then name her more appropriately.  We’ll see.  🙂

Hoby’s Thoughts and Reflections For Christmas 2011 And The New Year

Christmas 2011?  Already?  In less than 2 weeks?  Wuh?!?!? I really can’t believe it.  It’s like it just sprang up out of nowhere.  What happened to 2011?  Where did it go?  It’s like last year I just blinked and here we are; another year gone by and it’s Christmas again.  Wow.

Well, I don’t know about you, but I have been rather introspective of late.  (more…)

Why Coloradans get annoyed with the weather
