Meet Newton!

[gansky1]

We lost our Beagle, Jack in October of last year and have been talking about another dog since. We decided to wait until Spring or "the right dog" came along. Well, through a series of events, we brought home a one year old Pug last Saturday afternoon. Skyler (my son) bonded instantly with him and gave him the name "Newton" after remembering the dog that Ol' Lonely had in the Matyag commercials and a stuffed version of that Basset I bought him at the Maytag store a couple of years ago. (During our name discussion, Ben was on his way from Iowa and called from Newton to let us know when he would be arriving so that spurred the memory of the Maytag dog ;-)

Here he is pacing the hall until Skyler finishes his shower - the two are inseparable!

still waiting...

He just can't stand it when a door shuts him out of the action. Before this, I had to pick him up and bring him back to the living room as he was standing at the bathroom door with his nose pressed on it, waiting.

Greg, Newton is so cute!! He looks like a perfect dog. I think it is wonderful that he and Skyler have bonded so well! He couldn't have come up with a better name either.

PUGS!

Pugs are absolutely adorable!!

Congrats on Newton! I just adore that name!!!

Our friends down here, who we know back from our Milwaukee days, have two pugs. They're two balls of energy!

And, they shed just enough to make you need to vacuum (and brush off your clothes)--but not huge tumbleweeds of hair.

Here's me with Butters (left) and Gus (right) on Thanksgiving.

[Unimatic1140]

Awwwwww Greg, Newton is just adorable! I can't wait to meet the little guy.

 

[peterh770]

Adorable! Congrats on your new family member!

Congratulations to you and Skyler, Greg. My roommate has a pug, Chachi, and he has more personality than just about any other dog I've had. Just like Newton, Chachi can't be left out of the action, and if you're doing anything interesting, he always has to help. And Fred is right, you'll have plenty of excuses to vacuum!

 

[pulsator]

YAY!! Congratulations Greg!!! He's just ADORABLE!!! They definetly do have a lot of personality and loose fur!! I have to wash my comforter once a week because it gets so much hair on it thanks to this little guy!

Just look at those blue eyes!!!!!!!!!

How happy Skyler must be

 

[polkanut]

I agree with Michael, those piercing blue eyes will melt the heart of an icicle.

 

[frigilux]

What a face! He's adorable, Greg. And with a name like Newton, he'll grow up to be very intelligent.

 

[chestermikeuk]

Awwww

What a cuttie..!!!lovely blue jeweled eyes, and his name seems soooo right....nowthen, how is he with the washers...does he settle with them or bark at every spinning moment???

enjoy, Mike

 

[toggleswitch]

Some dogs like to watch the washers and dryers tumble.

Something tells me Newton will too!

 

[vinvac]

Greg and Skyler,

Congratulations!!! Newton is adorable!!!

There is nothing like a dog for companionship and friendship, once they have bonded with you they are your friend for life, regardless....I sure wish the human race would take lessons.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Hey,Greg! Wonderful dog but Greg,you need to stop him from chasing those parked cars!!! LOL

 

[launderess]

Go Ahead Now Go (Boom, Boom, Boom), Walk Out The Door

Whenever one sees those dogs, one thinks of the pug in the film "The Men In Black". You know,the dog that speaks with a Brooklyn accent as if he is a Good Fella! "Ok, whadda we got?"

Newton is a cutie! Am so happy for you and your boy. Glad Skyler and Newton have taken to each other thick as thieves. Just as it ought to be!

Newton!

Just look at those eyes! I am contemplating getting another dog now before Girly girl goes, she is 13. Pugs seem cute and smart.

 

[buffster]

Congrats Greg and Skyler,

He's adorable. And, those blue eyes... I've never seen anything like them on a pooch. As I told you on the phone and as Terry wrote above, I think it's awesome how he and Skyler have bonded. It's just darn cute--a boy and his dog. And, I think he'll be a great way of teaching Skyler about responsibility, while making for some wonderful lifelong memories for you both. Congrats.

Mike

What a Cutie!!

Congratulations, Greg on your new dog. Newton is a real cutie. Also, it's nice getting a dog that's beyond puppy. I expect you'll have a lot of fun.

We just picked up a german shepard puppy last Sunday from a breader in northwestern Wisconsin (Jerland.com). Beautiful dog but life is very busy!! She's doing well with house training but she requires constant attention.
