Hello, from Captain and Maya!

Postby Wigglebutt1 on Tue Nov 29, 2011 10:12 pm

Hello everyone! I've been reading the Daily Puppy through Facebook for some time, but I only registered today when I realized that some of you might be able to help me solve the mystery of Maya's breeding. We'll probably never know for sure, as her past is a mystery to me, but it's a fun puzzle nonetheless.

Our older boy is a 9-year-old Lab named Captain. In many ways, he's your typical Lab, very friendly and sweet, but he's also an accomplished food thief and enjoys naps in chairs that are too small for him. He also makes a habit of napping on the table on the back porch. :roll: He gets upset if I close my door at night because he often patrols the house while we're asleep, and this disrupts his rounds.

Maya is the mystery breed, turning 2 in February. We were dog-sitting her for a friend when that friend was diagnosed with health problems and told that she couldn't keep a dog. Somehow, that meant that Maya became ours, but I don't mind at all--she bonded to me quickly and often follows me around the house. She's very affectionate, a cuddler and a licker, and you know she likes you when she starts sitting in your lap. My username is a reference to her excitement when I come home from school or work: she gets so excited that she does this little dance that consists of jumping up and down and wiggling simultaneously.

Captain is SO sweet! I love Black Labs, and had the privilege of being owned by one for 13 years. Sally was a "forever" puppy, who made me laugh daily with her nonsense and silly ways. She passed away in 2003. Captain, which is a perfect name, looks like quite the character, and I can't think of a better name for a Lab boy. :D That picture is just adorable!!!

Maya is a sweetie as well. Many of us have taken a look at your thread involving what breed mix she might be. It's hard to tell when they are so young.

I'm so glad you posted an Introduction Thread. Welcome to The Daily Puppy from Oliver & Henry, (Cavalier King Charles Spaniels) and their Mum, (Deborah), in London, Ontario :mrgreen:

I'm glad to be here! :) Captain is actually the first dog I've ever had, and it was his silliness as a puppy that helped me get over a life-long wariness towards dogs. We have some great home videos of him when he was tiny!

Welcome to DP!

Your dogs are beautiful and Captain made me laugh seeing him on that chair. I am owned by a Chow Chow named Sumo who will be 3 months old on December 7th :)

We would love to see the videos of Captain as a puppy! Many of us use Photobucket to post pictures and video, or a link to YouTube would also work.

I imagine they are adorable.

Well, seeing as he's nine years old now, and the video's never made it off the camera, that might be a weekend project for me. But I'll be happy to see what I can do. :)

Captain looks like a great big sweetheart, and Maya looks like she's full of mischief!

Welcome aboard Captain and Maya,
I love the cozy picture of Captain and also Maya. I may not be a lot of help determining the breed of your dog, but I do know they are well loved and cared for. Your photos are great and we would like to see more, please. Merry Christmas~ :mrgreen:
