    Way, way off topic..

    ... but I can't help myself. I wanna show off my babies.
    My sweet old girl Niki -- 14 year-old lab/shep mix -- left me several weeks back after developing cancer. Life has been so strange without her! But with so many pooches up for adoption after the hurricanes, I decided to open my home again -- and ruin my floors -- by adopting two homeless puppies.
    Though I haven't been on a bike since adopting them (too busy picking up failed paper-training efforts), these little guys bring the same kind of joy that a good ride in the mountains does. So we're all getting fatter together.

    Oohh they are so cute. I can understand you spending all your spare time with them. How could anyone resist those two.

    They are really cute

    They're irresistable and triggered one of those "awww, I want one too" responses. I'm so glad they've found a good home. You'll have to get a double trailer so they can go with you on your bike.

    thanks for the aawwwws. They are two sweet little monsters, and can't wait till they're big enough for some hikes in the Rockies! I've thought about a bike trailer -- the one for kids, but sticking those two in for a ride instead. I just don't think they could sit still for more than 5 seconds at a time...

    omygosh! they are so cute... THANK YOU for rescuing them!!!

    I have a good friend who is with the local SPCA... they went to the Gulf region the week after the floods and just their team alone was able to rescue 5000 animals in a weeks time... good to know some of them are finding loving homes...
    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

    Your babies are so cute. I'm so glad you didn't wait, because those two little guys really needed you. Congratulations.

    Awwwwww, you're two fur-covered kids are too cute. My hat's off to you for fostering them. What's next for these cuties? Can you find the owners? Adoption?

    You deserve many miles of happy trails and tailwinds for doing this.

    already adopted them, Trek! They're great with each other -- they wrestle with each other, fight over cool toys and fall asleep curled up together. The older, 4-month old was probably abused -- flinched when I put my hand out to pet him, scared of going outside -- but he's warmed up quite a bit in just a couple of days. The little one's insane. Tiny ball of squirming energy, a mini tasmanian devil.
    As for what's next, hopefully housetraining. Quick.

    On_yer_left! sez "The older, 4-month old was probably abused -- flinched when I put my hand out to pet him, scared of going outside -- but he's warmed up quite a bit in just a couple of days"

    with your care he'll turn out to be a great dog, learn to trust people again.

    "The little one's insane. Tiny ball of squirming energy, a mini tasmanian devil."

    Older one looks like a German Shepard, mini-Taz is ??????? cute though. Pound-pets are best. What's their story? How'd you manage to adopt them? the boyfriend of a gal I was on the AIDS ride with last year went down to LA with a Shelter and ended up rescuing who knows how many.

    Are they ever adorable They're two lucky pups. As an animal lover (and "mommy" to furry children several times over) thank you for opening your heart and home to them. I'm certain Niki is very proud of her mama.
