Hubski, say hello to Dr. Watson.

We've taken to calling him Watson for short. He's some kind of Lhasa Apso mix and we think he's about 3 years old. We adopted him from a foster based rescue about 4 months ago and have been loving having him in our lives. The rescue thinks that he was abandoned by his previous owners because he was found on the street but had been neutered already when he was picked up.

When we got him he was named Mr. Watson, but we upgraded him to a Doctor because 1) my wife and I both really like Sherlock Holmes and 2) he reminded me (in the vaguest of ways based on his grumpy resting face) of the Dr. Watson character from Sherlock Hound, which I used to watch as a kid on an old video store VHS rental over and over again.

He has a sort of resting grumpy face normally so he always looks sorta sad, but that's just his face:

(When we first met him at the adoption event)

(his Fourth of July Outfit which he wore begrudgingly for this picture)

And he loves to rest in some of the oddest positions imaginable:

But he's our little cuddle bug and we absolutely love him. We are very happy with him but are probably good with just the one dog for now. He was a bit of a change in our lifestyle (needing to get up earlier than we usually do to take him out, needing to make sure we were home at appropriate times so he wouldn't have accidents, etc.) but absolutely worth it. He loves to come cuddle on our bed in the mornings while we get ready for work.

Sorry for the excessive number of pictures, but we find him too damn cute.
