or for those of you who had dogs before you had
children - you will probably understand this post.
We childless adults have a tendency to treat our
canine friends like children.
This is the case with our beloved Reggie a/k/a the Woo.
We are not sure of the evolution that led to "Woo"
but it stuck. And its fun. There are endless
variations of "Woo" as it is really just a syllable
that can be substituted into almost anything (including
almost every song ever written).
Sometimes he is Reggie-Woo, Bubba-Woo, Woo-nicorn,
Reggie Von Woosterhausen, Woo-Woo but mainly he
is "The Woo"...as in "Hey Matt, have you fed the Woo?"
or "Look at the Woo" or most commonly "Where is the Woo?"...
because if he is not in sight he IS getting into trouble.
Reggie is a three year old Brittney. He is liver and
white, the recessive color combo - most are orange
and white. A lot of people mistake him for a
springer spaniel. He weighs about 40 pounds and
is all muscle and energy. Brittney's are
a sporting breed...they live to find and point
birds. Except for Reggie - he also lives to
destroy our possessions and any sense of sanity we
might of once had.
Reggie suffers from severe separation anxiety, which
is fancy for mass destruction if left alone in house.
We think he may suffer from doggy autism as well, if
such a thing exists. He is our special boy. Both
Matt and I have had Brittney's before (but this is
our first together) so we know it is not a breed
thing - it is a Woo thing.
Anyway that is enough for now, I sure you will
see plenty more Woo in posts to come.
Hope you enjoyed the photos!

P.S. The second photo shows a glimpse of a partially
finished kitchen to wet your whistle!

Hello, Woo's mom! This is a totally fun post. I love the stories, explanation of Reggie's nick name and the pictures. Awesome. Reggie is darling - and such a perfect size! I completely identify with the dog-as-your-child situation. They become such an important and close part of your heart, don't they?
The sneak peak into your house is wonderful to see too! It looks so lovely! I am assuming the room behind Matt and Reggie with the built-in shelving is the living room. Is that right? I have to admit, when I think of you in your house, I sometimes still imagine your house in TC, just because it's the one I've seen. I can't wait until August to visit! That reminds me. We need to talk dates... Hope you're feeling better!!
i just visited thesuperficial for the first time, and i love it. merci!
I see you're feeling beachy today -- are you guys down by the water today?
Before I read this I saw the pictures of Woo and thought he was a Springer. I grew up with a Springer when I was really young. All I remember is that darn dog would take off to the swamp as soon as he could free himself from his chain; which was pretty often. But man, are they lovers or what!
Love the story! And the nicknames are so cute!
Fun post!!!
