Not quite the dessert that you might be thinking…nope that is the name of my new puppy. Actually his name is Mochi and I had my heart set on that name before I knew who he was. When I fell in love with the little guy and found out that he was brown I pondered over different names…mocha…coco…brownie…but none of them seemed to fit. Mochi doesn’t quite fit either in terms of appearance but c’est la vie it is his name. Oddly enough the other day I was watching the Japanese Iron Chef and it was battle Mochi. Everytime they said “Mochi” he would quizzically turn his head wondering why someone kept calling him.

He is quite bigger than the previous photos I posted…he is a lot curlier and you can definitely see the more pronounced Poodle side to him. His current pastimes are retrieving the tennis ball, chewing on raw hide, and chasing his squeaky toys around the house.

He is so much fun to be around and we have started the house training process. He still has an aversion to big dogs and people who make a lot of noise. We shall work on these things at his puppy training classes that start in a couple of weeks. Before you know it he will be bringing my slippers and turning off lights with his nose.
