Darlene Epp Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Sorry! I forgot to resize the picture first. My daughter and her family got Nelly's brother, George. We call him Georgie Porgie. He's adorable! This is 12 year old Maddie reading him a story just after they brought him home. He's a lucky dog!

quiltmonkey Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Waah! I want a SCHNOODLE TOO!! But alas, I have three German Shedding Dogs and I can't get another pup. But If I ever do get me one I want a SCHNOODLE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Epp Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Hi Shana, I have to have NON-shedding dogs due to allergies, so a schoodle is perfect. I hadn't even heard of them before my daughter dragged me into Petland just to show me Georgie. Neither of us had ANY intention of going home with a dog, but once we held them, there was no putting them back. We had to leave Nelly at the store for 4 days because we were staying in a hotel, but we went in to visit and hold her every day so she was already bonded with us when we picked her up and started the 4 hour drive home. She was perfect, and is so smart it's scary. I've already started on "Come, Sit, Lay Down, & Stay". She knows what "outside" means and goes within 30 seconds of us putting her down, and right now that means down into snow! She thinks it's fun and goes hopping and skipping through it. Then she toddles over to me and begs to be picked up and cuddled. I can manage that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarieBrewer Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 She's really a cutie. When the breed is little they at least stay small and cute/cuddly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 This is the perfect reason for me to stay away from Petland! She is just too adorable and I'm afraid I would have gone home with her too! Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Hi Darlene, How adorable! I like the name "Nelly" ---I have a 9 yr. old Maltese-Poodle mix. "Bootsie" These little sweethearts are a bit more work in the grooming dept. But, the no-shedding is so worth it. The love and fun times they give are priceless. I groom my little one myself as she gets so nervous at the groomers she gets sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinneaMarie Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 She is adorable, and Maddie is beautiful!! I, like Shana, have a German Shedding doggie. She does think she is still little and loves to curl up on my bed or try to get on my lap!:P Have fun with that sweetie!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda G. Craig Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Oh Darlene, you lucky girl! What sweet little puppies! I too just love the name Nelly and actually Georgie Porgie is just perfect too. I just can't imagine my life without a dog, and we have two shelties, talk about SHEDDING! Best Wishes to you and your new babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltinginthecountry Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Darlene, Nelly is adorable. We have (2) Alaskan huskies. To big to carry around. I want one too. Thanks for showing her. Cute...cute...cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Epp Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Linda, I seriously looked into getting a Sheltie about a year ago because I LOVE them, but knew I couldn't deal with the shedding. We've had poodles or a poodle mix for over 30 years, and this is the longest I've been without a dog. The day we got Nelly it had been 3 years, 2 months and 6 days. Hubby doesn't quite understand the "void" because he never had a pet growing up, but I have to tell you, Nelly has completely won him over. He doesn't like "yappy" dogs and this one has only made a little whining noise when she wants to go "outside". Hopefully, she'll stay quiet and calm as she gets older. BTW, GD Maddie named her. I thought it was perfect. We've had Ginny, Kizzy, Luci & Desi, and now Nelly. Problem is, I go through all the names when I call her! She looks just like Kizzy, who lived to be 15. If she has that dog's personality I'll be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibbyG Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 She is so adorable. She looks like a little stuffed animal. How big do they get? Our first golden was named Nellie. We just loved her, too. We've had Freddie, Nell, Sadie, Samee, Hannah and Chriz. Two German shepherds and four goldens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Epp Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Hi Libby, Going by the Mom & Dad's size, they expect her to get to about 8 lbs. Right now she's a little over 4 lbs. Darlene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcclannan Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 What an irresistable little puppy face. I have a lab and a westie. Their unconditional love is something we can all use a little of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CindyT Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Whoa, Nelly! She is just too darn cute, Darlene! Makes you just want to pick her up and cuddle with her! I was just thinking last night about when we got our cocker spaniel, Daisy, almost 7 years ago. My how things change. My mom and dad have 5 collie puppies born December 18, and I'm afraid to go see them for fear I might want to bring one home. Enjoy your little cutie pie there!
