To be honest, before we got Hamish I was never a doggy person. We always had dogs of the farm growing up but they were farm dogs. But, when I bought Hamish, I immediately fell in love with him. Must be old age.
Looking through The Times online early this morning, I found this pic in an article about hypo-allergenic dogs for the new Presidential family in the US. He or she is the same 'breed' as Hamish - a labradoodle. I use the term 'breed' loosely because there's a lot of hoo-ha about labradoodles and their authenticity as a breed, because they're so new. I don't worry about all that because in that respect, I'm not a snob.
Not a day goes by in København when I take Hamish for a walk and someone comments on him. Seriously. 'Hvad er han for en race?' I get. I think he's the only one in Denmark. He's hugely popular and laps up the attention. I think the Obama's could do worse.
I mean, can you not be affected by this pic or am I getting sentimental in my own age?
I wonder if the Fogh's have a dog?
Labradoodles!

Old age or not....anyone with a HEART has to go "awwwwwww......" as soon as that pic pops up! If that does not happen, they ought to check their pulse!! SOO CUTE
They are cute. If I didn't life up a gazillion flights of stairs and share a back yard, I'd get another dog.
Seriously, if you had posted just a close-up of the face, I would have sworn it wasn't a real dog, but a teddy bear. :)
PS. I wasn't a doggy person either until I got my first dog and now I'm on my second.
