NEW POOCH

08 August 2011







I was going through Beatrice withdrawals last week so I decided to check out some local adoption agencies, aka Goodwill. And bam! There she was, standing in a fresh pile of poop-smelling furniture,all brassy sassy, so I scooped her up for a song. She cleaned up real nice and by the time Beatrice returned from her week-long trip, she was instantly smittened by ________'s golden charm. By the way, I need a funky name for her. Any suggestions? And that's all I did this weekend, folks. Play stupid cupid with a brass dog and Beatrice. How was your weekend?

I think your Beatrice needs a 'Maude'. ^_^ Goldie is pretty Cute!..."Welcome home Beatrice!!!!" :-)

Nat @ dear little house said...

She is gorgeous! Very svelte, needs an appropriate classy name... just as long as you don't choose Eugenie!

Caroline, UK said...

A Divine Comedy, and certainly a very comedic pair so perhaps the new arrival could be named Dante?

Stunning, but not as beautiful as Beatrice!

Glad to see Beatrice is home! Surprised she didn't feel chagrined about being replaced by a big brass bitch (female dog, people!). ;)
Name possibility: Matilda
p.s. the shot of the faux dog in bed is killing me with giggles!

Shannon said...

Amazing find!!! The thrifty gods are taking good care of you my dear!!!!

Süsk said...

I snorted out loud when I read "poop-smelling furniture". HA!

I also hereby nominate the name Virgil Fortesqueue-Smythe for consideration. Posh!

blissful chick said...

GW is a little slice of heaven on earth, poop smells and all. AMAZING find! she is so classy and sleek, a little audrey hepburn :)

Crystal said...

I was laughing so hard when I saw these photos, especially the bed one! You crack me up. I was thinking yesterday about the cute vignettes you used to make up- I miss those!

Good to see beautiful Beatrice back home and love her shiny new friend! I'm also glad(?) to know that my local Goodwill isn't the only one that smells like poo, just walking into it is like getting punched in the face with a fistful of turd. I don't even want to know how that thrift store phenomenon occurs.

Iris said...

She is magnificent!

Bekka said...

Ha ha ha! I love the one of your new dog in the bed.

@ PoetessWug I'm totally digging Maude!

@ Nat Ha! No worries, Eugenie is definitely not one of my top choices. Thanks! :D

@ Caroline Dante—what an epic name! And Beatrice is definitely way more beautiful and she keeps me warm in bed too.

@ Tea and Chickadees I know, shocking! And brass bitch—haha...I thought she'd get a little pissy but quite the opposite.

okgoods said...

I vote for 'Midas' or the simple but cute, 'Charlie'.

What a great size!

Will @ Bright.Bazaar said...

The bed image made me laugh, and the final one is TOO cute! Hope your heartmate will be back soon, Dab!

Those shots are fantastic. How about "Snuggles"?

LOL Dante is my Italian Greyhound's name! :) That's such a cool find! I've been on the same hunt for a decent greyhound statue that isn't creepy. I'm glad Beatrice is back. :) Maybe a name that goes well with hers? Like...Beatrice and....man I'm drawing a blank.

OLD BRAND NEW said...

@ bawkbawkbawkI think it looks exactly like your Poppy! So cute!

@ Shannon I know, it's about time! I've been on a missing streak.

@ Süsk Virgil Fortesqueue-Smythe! Holy shit that's the best name ever! Thanks, you!

myfriendstaci said...

Totally jealous! I was just saying to my man yesterday, "we need to find a fake greyhound" so our italian greyhound can have a low-maintenance buddy!

FullCircleRetro said...

The first pic is brilliant! Perhaps Brilliance? ;)

OLD BRAND NEW said...

@ Crystal Ah! I miss doing those vintage vignettes too. They were hard and took so much time and ever since I started working full-time, it's been so hard to put it together, but I definitely wanna do bring it back soon!

@ Hello Rabbit Yeah, poo, turd, smelly feet, diarrhea, it's pretty gross but it never stops us from digging for gems! :D

Sweetina said...

I think you should name her Jane Hathaway (from the Beverley Hillbillies)!
Welcome home Queen Bea xox

Mallory said...

1. This post made me actually-factually laugh out loud.

2. Your ridiculously kind comment on my blog made me a happy person. A compliment coming from you means a lot because I think you have just.... the best taste. From brass dogs to prints to... everything, really. Thank you!

Cassandra Marie said...

I dub her..."Billy Jean" :)

And omg that photo of her in the bed is too funny!

Btw....thanks so much for adding my little blog to your sidebar for the moment! *hugs*

Catherine said...

Both pups are lovely. I'm quite jealous that you have such a well-behaved guilded one...my pups are just monsters. ;)

OLD BRAND NEW said...

@ Sweetina I love that! Jane Hathaway, meet Beatrice Arthur. :)

@ Mallory I only speak the truf! Thank YOU for always being so supportive. :)

@ Cassie Hugs, girl!

@ Catherine Haha! Yeah, I keep them in check. :D

@ kit and nancy Thanks!

Justina Blakeney said...

OK ya, that bed shot is hilarious. and I swear when I first went to the blog I thought you got a new dog and didn't tell me. I was like, WHAT!!??!??!!! ;-)

OLD BRAND NEW said...

@ myfriendstaci What a coincidence! I think you should get your greyhound a real greyhound buddy. I want one for Bea, too.

@ FullCircleRetro Brilliant! :D
