This is Merry, the new companion of Pippin and Frodo.
Here she is with Frodo, whom some of you may remember as the Kaiser of Cuteness:
She's about a year old. She was found abandoned, undernourished, with mange. She's got a clean bill of health now, and we knew the minute we walked into the store and saw her with an 'adopt me' vest that we had just become a 3-dog family.
She's about a year old. Our best guess is that she's a noodle; part Newfoundland, part poodle. The Newf portion is her head shape; these pictures don't show it, but she has a pretty wide, heavy snout, like a Newfoundland or Rottweiler. If the poodle (which we're basing on the coat texture and webbed paws) were small, the sizes may even make sense. Or something. Whatever.
She's really getting along really well with Frodo. Our oldest dog, Pippin (~4 y.o. Westie) is even more disgusted with us than he was over Frodo. It's going to be interesting to see who turns out top (4-legged) dog.
So, let's hear it for adopting strays!
